Wolverine - Snikt!: Tsutomu Nihei's Logan Story

[@phishinround420]

I recall first reading this, seeing the cover, and realizing two of my favorite worlds had collided. Marvel gave Nihei the go ahead, and he delivered a version of Logan we never knew we needed. If marvel realized this move, and moves like it, could save them in these dire times. It was a comparable work to Abara. No GBE, no overpowered BS. Just Logan, his claws and his regeneration. Loved this manga/comic collaboration.

What is abara AND GBE?

[@kamikazelemming1552]

@@gothxm Abara is one of Tstomu Nihei's other works, and the GBE stands for Graviton Beam Emitter, a weapon that appears in his most well-known series "BLAME!" and "Knights of Sidonia." It's basically a handgun capable of bringing down a mountain.

[@RoboBoddicker]

I read this a while ago, but I just now realized that the title is a play on BLAME! lol clever

[@looniemoonie5955]

It is a history. What a crazy world. I don't remember Manga artists that big drawing ANYTHING for Marvel or DC. The only one that comes to mind is Yusuke Murata who draws posters for Marvel frequently, but that's it

[@doomrevolver8387]

Nice video again. You convinced me, I will definitely buy this series. I'm not much of marvel fan, but I love Nihei's style

[@inseinenstudios6404]

Thanks man. Btw, do you think the audio is too quiet? Haha I’m a little worried

@@inseinenstudios6404 well, I can hear it just fine. Im comparing to other videos and It's true that the volume Is a bit lower but I think it's okay for this type of video (art analysis video)

[@PungentTowelWasTaken]

wow this is absolutely incredible. I had no idea Marvel collaborated with Nihei. I must read this

This could be a movie.

he is a big fan, so the perfect match

[@Swanzy89]

This is the book that introduced me to Nihei.

[@solid-parker237]

the primogenator is quite a unique concept

[@roml1289]

It came out here in France as a single 120 pages volume with hardcover. I buy everything from Nihei.

[@inseinenstudios6404]

Dang. Lucky. I got a collective edition but it was paperback. Woulda been cool to see him do other characters or a longer wolverine story

[@Solivagant0]

Awesome video! Now a must read!

[@inseinenstudios6404]

Thanks homie!

[@F.collector]

I felt like Logan was a bit too chill about the whole getting transported to the future

[@GlowingManga]

love this story and art so much

[@martijn9560]

Yea I have read it and have most of the singles and an Spanish hard cover, because the English hard cover is pretty expensive. I have a pretty extensive collection of his work 😅

[@inseinenstudios6404]

Yea. I only wish there was more of it. I'm really enjoying his current "Aposimz" though. I have a feeling there will be a tie-in with Knights of Sidonia as the story progresses

[@martijn9560]

@@inseinenstudios6404 there is a change yea In Sidoina they said that Aposimz was a seed ship that was lost for a long time soo yea. I like his old his stuff better though, the stories are not generic and the detailed art of course but I know that he wants more people to read his works and experiment.

[@inseinenstudios6404]

@@martijn9560 yea, I don't know if we'll ever see artwork like Blame!, Biomega, or Abara again. Knights was definately more generic but I still freaking loved it. I also became a fan of Aposimz artwork the more I read it. I read that Nihei said he was trying an art style with as little black as possible since his previous works were super black heavy so I respect his decision to conquer something new. Look at it this way though, a little more generic means more people are interested, which means more people become interested in his work, which leads to things like the master edition releases which are freaking awesome. I really hope they do one for Biomega... but I also think that is unlikely.

[@martijn9560]

@@inseinenstudios6404I have the Masters and more and those are great with the size. Only they put the brightness a bit to high everywhere and they are going to do new releases for Biomega.

@@martijn9560 what!? you got proof? I can't find anything online about a new Biomega release, but if its true I'm freaking stoked

Great review dude! I need to seek this out.

What about the Nihei entry into the Halo Graphic Novel? That's how I found him anyway. His paintings of the flood are insane

Got the polish collected edition of it by Waneko Comics. It's alright.

Mate once again I never knew this existed thank you I’m off to eBay

[@inseinenstudios6404]

Nice dude. There is a paperback edition that includes all the issues in 1, but it’s more rare and expensive.I honestly like the 5 singles more anyway and you’ll save money

[@danahambelton941]

You know the rest of Marvel probably hated it and shit talked it and him even though it’s a truly great work.

[@inseinenstudios6404]

Damn, you think so. What makes you say that?

[@danahambelton941]

Just a guess. I don’t think Marvel has any artists currently that can compare with Nihei. Mangaka work way harder than most western artists. And lastly I looked for similar works and I couldn’t find any other comparable Marvel and manga collaborations.

[@ludwigvansolo1999]

@@danahambelton941 most western comics in general don't have talent that can compete with manga as a whole, in regards to this past decade specifically; Manga just offers great art and storytelling that has been lacking here for quite sometime, at least collectively speaking

[@danahambelton941]

@@ludwigvansolo1999 no argument here. Sounds about right. I was bummed that nothing else like this has been tried. I know there is a Deadpool being made in Japan but it is nothing compared with This.

[@keremmazman3761]

​@@danahambelton941 Marvel published lots of unique comics around that time. Wolverine Netsuke by George Pratt, Banner by Brian Azarello and Richard Corben, Wolverine/Hulk by Sam Kieth, Megalomaniacal Spider-Man by Peter Bagge etc. Wolverine Snikt! was one of them. Every one of these is completely unique and they are drawn by people who don't usually do Marvel comics. You can't compare these with normal marvel comics, you can't compare them with each other. I even think Nihei is closer to the normal marvel comics artwise, at least he doesn't experiment with form like Sam Kieth etc.
