About this Collection

This 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.

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.
