I know the Marvel movie and comics universes are separate, but I would pay money to see a movie version of the Molot Boga and Damon Dran story. Sure, after 2 volumes I don’t know where the Chaos story is going, but there’s an interesting movie in there.

It was written and illustrated by comic titans Chris Claremont (Days of Future Past) and Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns, Daredevil). The writing is terse and largely comprised of Wolverine’s stream of thought. The art is simple yet moody. As Claremont explains in the introduction, the book elevates Wolverine from an animalistic berserker to a complete and compelling character. While I love Hugh Jackman […]
