☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis Epic Collection gathers Wolverine's adventures from the early 1990s, including the 'Tooth and Claw' storyline that pits Logan against the deadly Silver Samurai and the villainous Ogun. The volume also features encounters with Omega Red, Sabretooth, and the Juggernaut, alongside guest appearances by the X-Men, Daredevil, and Venom. Collecting issues from Wolverine's solo series and related annuals, it showcases the feral mutant's struggles with his past and his place in a world that fears him.
In "The Road to Casablanca," Wolverine embarks on a raw, introspective journey to reclaim his humanity under Elektra’s guidance, only to be ambushed by a twisted illusion of the X-Men—Spiral and a pack of Warwolves in disguise. Transported to Mojoworld, he’s thrust into a surreal spectacle where Mojo II forces him to play out scripted battles with Warwolves posing as allies and enemies, all for the entertainment of a captive audience. When Longshot, now ruling Mojoworld, shuts down the show in protest, the X-Babies arrive to help dismantle the illusion, leading to a dramatic cancellation and Wolverine’s eventual return home to reunite with Elektra. Written by Dan Slott and illustrated with bold, expressive art by Mark Buckingham, with colors by Paul Mounts and Bongotone, and a striking cover by Joe St. Pierre, this issue blends psychological depth with surreal action in a standout entry from the Wolverine Epic Collection.
Wolverine, pushed to the edge of his humanity, has vanished into the wild—now a feral force the X-Men must confront. When they track him to the hidden lair of the enigmatic Ozymandias, their mission turns into a brutal clash with a foe whose strength and silence defy reason.
In "Slay-Per-View," Wolverine finds himself trapped in Mojoworld, forced to star in a twisted spectacle where Warwolves impersonate his old allies — including Cyclops, Storm, Archangel, Bishop, Gambit, and Rogue — as part of Mojo II’s latest bloodsport broadcast. With Longshot rallying his people to shut down the show, the X-Babies arrive to disrupt the performance, turning the tide in a high-stakes game of illusion and identity. Letters by Arnie Sawyer heighten the chaos as the line between friend and foe blurs in this wild, self-aware twist on fame and fandom.
In a desperate bid to expand his reach, Bastion launches Operation Zero Tolerance into Japan, where the remnants of the Hand rise again. Wolverine and Silver Samurai team up to free Sunfire from captivity, racing against time to prevent the powerful Red Ronin from falling into dangerous hands.
Wolverine lands in Little Tokyo chasing a lead on Yukio and Amiko, only to find them taken by the Hand. Forced to team up with the Yakuza, he forms an uneasy alliance with Pale Flower—unaware she’s the daughter of Dai-Kumo and still furious over Logan’s role in her father’s death.
In "East Is East," Wolverine's undercover mission in Japan takes a dangerous turn when he's captured by the Hand, forcing him to face the Iron Monk—an invulnerable foe who proves a deadly challenge. With the help of the enforcer from Clan Yashida and the unexpected aid of Pale Flower and Yohei, Logan prepares to confront the full might of the Hand, unaware that their true goal is to turn Amiko against her allies.
When the villain Dirt Nap attempts to absorb Venom, the resulting surge tears open a rift, hurling Wolverine, Rocky, Eddie, and Emmett into a chaotic dimension-hopping fight for survival. With the alien symbiote and a hostile force from beyond reality on the move, the unlikely team must navigate shifting realities before the chaos consumes them all.
