Review and Recommendation

When I stumbled upon Wolverine: Snikt! at the start of 2024, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the version I had picked up was a deluxe re-release from 2003. What immediately caught my attention was the fresh take on the iconic Marvel character, Wolverine, as the manga artist Tsutomu Nihei envisioned. The art style and plot felt like a perfect fit for Wolverine’s character. The novel is not weighed down by heavy dialogue, instead, it focuses on the action and ferocity of Wolverine with a sci-fi twist, which is beautifully reflected in the coloring of the images reminiscent of The Matrix. Overall, I thought this graphic novel was a quick and enjoyable read. I recommend Wolverine: Snikt! if you’re a  Wolverine or Sci-fi fan. 

Cautions

*Spoiler Alert* (A spoiler alert is being issued because there are mentions of specific plot points that relate to the rating of this review.) 

Wolverine: Snikt! has a rating of T+ and is recommended for older teens due to violence and gore. Several panels show Wolverine ripping apart these robotic organisms called Mandates with his adamantium claws. Other than the violence and gore in this comic, I noticed no foul language or innuendos. Based on the graphic violence and gore, I would still recommend this comic for older teen readers.
