MARVEL GRAPHIC NOVEL: WOLVERINE: BLOODLUST (1990)

Alan Davis writes and draws a graphic novel where Wolverine gets involved with some other-dimensional monsters (who look a lot like Wendigo). It’s not a bad comic, but I don’t understand why it had to be a Wolverine story. Lots of mysticism and stuff. Might have been more interesting to showcase Snowbird from Alpha Flight.

They did work in Logan wrestling with his own bloodlust–an attempt to make this character-driven. But it still feels generic and might have been more interesting with a less-known star.

But then, by 1990, Marvel was starting to figure out that Wolverine sold books better than most characters…

  1. hi Ekko, thanks for your great work. Brings back so much memories and gives the opportunity to see some material i couldnt read when a teenager in France in the eighties/nineties.
    I still have the french version of this bloodlust which was kind of weird but i loved wolverine back then. On the cover Paul Neary was quoted with Alan Davis as creator so i was kind of wondering back then if he did more than the inking on bloodlust. He was working on excalibur i believe, before Farmer.
