Typically, I condemn studios for releasing "episodic samplers" of a television series in lieu of an entire season box set. It's a lousy practice designed with nothing more than money grubbing in mind. The Wolverine and the X-Men: Heroes Return Trilogy, if tradition holds true, should receive similar reproach. But it doesn't; at least not entirely. It turns out people like me are the exact intended audience of this set. Yes, I still somewhat resent Lionsgate for putting out a one disc release that represents a mere fraction of the entire season - but it brought a superb series to my attention and really, isn't that the point?
Wolverine and the X-Men possesses a mythology depth that rivals and ultimately bests the 90s X-Men animated series and an updated animation style that borrows yet improves upon the X-Men: Evolution series of a few years back. Wolverine and the X-Men is the comic book animated series we've all been waiting for. Virtually everything is improved upon - everything.
Also released earlier this week is this Wolverine DVD. Can't wait to get one.
