Product Description:
Shanghaied and transported to a remote desert island, Wolverine and the Black Cat find themselves at the center of a deadly game. A team of filthy-rich hunters have slapped down some serious cash for the opportunity to hunt the most dangerous prey on the planet, and they've got the high-tech weapons to do just that. Like it or not, the key to Logan and Felicia's survival just might be their ability to cooperate long enough to evade their hunters and uncover the identity of the deadly ringmaster. Collects Wolverine/Black Cat #1-3, plus extras.

This book is much like a popcorn flick, you know that there isn't going to be anything deep involved, it will have some gaps (what short mini series doesn't take liberties?) and will be a fluff kind of story. That's all it does and does it well. Unlike others have said, the dialog does work. It is witty and plays to the characters themselves. I don't think the creators were trying to break new ground, rather show a slightly different side of the characters in a fun, humorous way.
Linser's art was the pen and ink variety and wasn't using the painted technique he is so often is displaying. While that was a slight disappointment, he delivered his usual style.
So purchase this if you want an entertaining romp of a story. These two characters are very similar when you break it down and I give the creators of this book credit for finding those similarities and poking fun at them in an entertaining way!

Two awesome characters! One disappointing book! If I was not such a die hard fan of Wolverine, and with a renewed love for Black Cat, I wouldn't have done wrong skipping this idiotic tale of boredom. The lack of entertainment runs rampant in this book. It far succeeds the enjoyment of this tale. The book robbed me of the effort it took for me to turn the pages. The storytelling lacked in so many areas; painfully boring, simple dialogue, undeveloped characters and most of all, such a simplistic story it could have been written back when the films Hard Target and Surviving the Game were released. The artwork, I would have assumed to be much better since it was supposedly painted. But, I would have to agree with the previous reviewer, it does boarderline between good and the "Family Circus" comic strips. Just skip this book, or buy it if you want everything Wolverine.

Wolverine and BC are kidnapped and delivered to an island where bad guys hunt them. Predictable plot line. The banter is just lame. It feels like it was written for six year olds.
Villain1: "We have the money from the hunters... Let's just leave before they find us."
Villain2: "Darling, white rabbit... I have to finish this game... You just don't understand the complex workings of my mind."
Villain1: "I understand more than you think, my love... I want to be alive to enjoy our rewards.
The art verges between good and family circle. I could imagine buying more comics painted by Linsner if he was paired with someone a little darker. I can't imagine buying anything by writers Palmiotti and Grey again.
FWIW: I -loved- the new "Wolverine" by Claremont and Miller.
