He's not wrong in that comics are a gruelling amount of work but but I really really really want to see what his comics actually looked/read like now

I had a very brief interaction with Tatsumi, actually, back in like 2009 when he was a guest at a TCAF I was volunteering at because he was in a back room sitting on a chair that my knapsack was under. I awkwardly extracted it, interrupting some interview he was doing

It's rare to read comics with such a raw, visceral energy to it from both the aesthetic of the artwork to how it feels to actually read it.

I’m about 20 pages in and I’m actually… enjoying the process of making this? Who knew doing something kinda dumb and absurd would be way more fun than depressive, whiny comics?

Did I mention the cartooning is also incredible? Both as a masterclass in comics storytelling and also how to properly use halftone patterns. Really inspiring stuff!

Does Marvel not think people will understand its a superhero comic without making it look as garish as all of their other books?

They're even kind enough to show how much better the book could have looked by giving you examples of the original art in the back of the book -- the original pages are so much stronger than what they actually give as the bulk of the book. Why do this?

And... I want to like it so bad because i have a huge soft spot for Wolverine and it seems like a mostly well made book... but the coloring is so often bafflingly poor with rendering that's just so I'll fitting on Tsutomu Nihei's original art that I find it genuinely hard to read.
