I’ve wondered, in the past, why certain comics were included in the reading order. This is the first one where I have wondered why it was made at all.
Set immediately after Wolverine escapes from Weapon X, we have 8 pages with no text. Summarized thusly:
- Wolverine implied hungry by title.
- He fails to catch a turkey.
- He sees a family home (family included).
- Cannibalism is briefly considered.
- Some wolves threaten the family.
- Wolverine kills wolves.
- Family scared of Wolverine.
- Wolverine leaves.

The only reason I can think of for this story to exist: to show that Wolverine is very violent and animalistic, but has compassion for innocent people.
Which would be interesting.
If it wasn’t
THE PRIMARY CHARACTER TRAIT HE HAS DISPLAYED SINCE NINETEEN SEVENTY-FOUR.
This comic is the very definition of superfluous.
The art is good though.
