Marvel Comics Presents #94

The current Wolverine story is so far (and by far) my favorite. While hiking in the Canadian wilderness, something has caused Logan to go into a deep slumber. While napping, he either relives a long-lost life experience or he is subjected to the experiences of someone else. In either case, Wolverine is now a fur trapper who was destined to die of exposure in a fierce blizzard. Instead, he's been rescued by members of the Blackfoot tribe. 

With the Blackfoot people, winter becomes spring. Logan impresses the chief with his prowess, falls in love with his daughter and takes on both a young apprentice as well as a rvial who also has sights on the chief's offspring. On the surface, everything looks ideal. But somewhere under the surface, something dark and evil lurks.

Lastly, I want to end with a look at the Wolverine cover by Sam Keith. This is an example of one of his just plain awful covers. What's with that hair? I'd ask why his clothes are such a mess but even in the wilderness story, his trapper duds are pretty thread bear. We almost had assless chaps if not for a stray strip of cloth! But the anatomy is all wrong. The hunting knife looks like it's set in front of a funhouse mirror. And that hair! really folks, this is a lousy cover.

An okay issue. Not perfect. But relatively enjoyable.

Rating: 6 out of 10 stars.
