House on Haunted Hill
This is an interesting spooky little story in which Wolverine is almost an incidental character. David Aja's art here compliments the overall tone of the story very nicely. This is not a superhero comic book but rather a short horror story in which Wolverine is passing through. It involves a bizarre family in a bizarre house in North Dakota. Although the story has some interesting points like the mother being essentially a sentient blob of gore, the dialogue was uninspired. David Lapham falls back on horror movie cliches from the 70's and 80's and gives us a community of hicks that at the first sight of a "spaceman," round up a posse to of course go shoot it and the mysterious Buchman Family living in the spooky house. Somewhere in this Hydra is involved, as is a giant robot, but since the story is relatively short and no aspect of it gets developed with any particular amount of depth, it's difficult to care for anyone involved. As tender as the scene or two between Wolverine and the little Buchman girl are, I feel we've exhausted the theme of Wolverine as a father figure.
The issue also contains reprints of X-men #6-7 from the Jim Lee early 90's era of X-men, which account for the comic's bulk. I won't bother reviewing these issues, but they are good and represent a time right before the art and writing of X-men started heading far far far south around the mid to late 90's with the likes of AoA and Onslaught.
Overall, I don't think this comic is particularly worth reading or buying, unless you're a Wolverine completionist. I appreciate what it attempted to do by straying outside of the box and going more for a horror/suspense than the standard Wolverine action fare, but sadly it fell flat.
