as a general rule, I don't really care about Wolverine's adventures in Japan. they tend to be kind of grossly Orientalist and sexist and really tied up in ~honor.~
But I saw this on the recently-returned cart and thought, "I like Jason Aaron, maaybe I'll check this out."
it's like, less offensive than Wolverine's old timey Japanese adventures but also I still don't really care about it at all.
also there is a scene where they are in a sushi restaurant and a ninja throws a live octopus on Wolverine's face, minus a million stars

Wolverine goes to Japan to fight Sabretooth who has taken control of the Hand and also he meets Osen Oso whose the sole survivor of the "true hand" basically the hand faction that still worshipped the old ways and teaming with her, Wolverine has to fight the Silver Samurai and the Hand ninjas. But he has been framed for killing and thus becomes wanted and as he goes on a quest he meets the lady and battles Silver Samurai again and again and seeing how far he has gone and Logan having lost his ways must gain his ground once more and learn his teachings and find a way to defeat this kid and regain his honor and save Japan. Also cameos by Sunfire!
Great story and it just shows Wolverine in a new situation in a foreign country losing and then bouncing back and teaming with another awesome lady. Great to see the character development of Shin and his animosity towards Logan and the way they become enemies is awesome. And Sabretooth continues to evolve.
Its an okayish story continuing Aaron's run and has a good opening, decent middle and end and since I read in the Infinite digital thing it reads so much better and the art is enhanced and each fight a relish to hold and it reads very quickly thanks to it. The art was the best part easily. Loved this one!
