The Raphael Conspiracy (A Logan Ross Detective Novel Book 1)

University of Minnesota Libraries

---

Before Wolverine officially had annuals, Marvel would release one bookshelf format Wolverine comic each year, usually with a pretty high-profile creative team. We know that Wolverine and various other characters from the X-universe had superheroic adventures in the shadows for decades, so exploring what they were doing as Professor Xavier and Sebastian Shaw began searching for mutants has potential.

Wolverine is normally clothed as a redneck while in civilian clothes, but Tomm Coker pushes the secret agent angle and instead dresses him in tight dress shirts and sunglasses which look rather feminine to me, but I doubt he was going for that. A few of the pages look a little awkward, which might be the ones handled by the co-artists. The final product, though, looks very nice overall. If the story went through a few rewrites, I could see this worthy of its lofty format. High praise, for a project plotted by Howard Mackie!

I always thought this was Marvels attempt to cash in on the X-Files vibe that the world was experiencing at the time, of Conspiracy theories etc. Even the structure with Logan and Carol was very Mulder and Scully. I was young enough to be engaged but still felt it was fadd-ish and derivative. Newer Post Older Post Home. Artifice in Fiction from Joyce to Pynchon. Deconstructing the Old World.
