Had some coupons from Borders the other day and decided to pick up some new trades to read. Not a bad deal for 50 percent off. And they discounted both. Pick then up form Amazon if you want.
First pick was a Marvel take on L .Frank Baum's The Wizard of Oz. A great job by Eric Shanower and Skottie Young. Nice art and a great story that follows the original quite well. I highly recommend it for anyone who was a fan of the movie or book. If you were not, give it a try, it might be a good way for you to enjoy the take on the original material.
Next was something I was hoping would give me a little back history of Marvel's favorite X-Men, Wolverine. This is not a bad read, just a little thin. And well, the Deadpool section in the middle just didn't seem like it belonged in there at all. The story of Wolverine and Saber Tooth was a good read though, and made up for it. So if you want to brush up on your Wolverine history, and didn't like the X-Men Origins "Wolverine" movie, this would be good for you.
