This was weird. While there were great moments and I really did have fun reading this, it was just weird, to say the least. Basically, the pot from my understanding was that Canada wanted their won super soldier for global domination(?) but instead had their hearts changed and formed the Canadian avengers...I think. So yeah, this was bonkers. But that isn't my biggest complaint. My biggest complaint was Wolverine himself. he just didn't feel like the Logan we all know and love. Now logan is one of my top three superheroes, but he didn't feel like himself in this book. he had moments where it felt like Logans and others where it felt like a completely new character. Oh well, at least I finished my Goodreads goal.

I always wanted to know more about Logan's time with the Hudsons, and I finally got it! It's a humorous read

This was nothing special, but an enjoyable Wolverine tale all the same. Though, for being such a wild animal he seemed oddly agreeable to everything put before him.

I wasn't sure what I'd be getting into with Wolverine: Season One. Thankfully, I know about Wolverine and his mutation, and how he came to be 'Wolverine' and his involvement with the X-Men (in the films, at least) etc. I feel without a lot of that knowledge I'd have been left stranding, as this graphic novel wastes no time in jumping straight into things.
The story was interesting and I did like the majority of the characters. I didn't really care for the Hulk in this, but then I generally have no interest in him anyway. I did, however, like the Wendigo and how the fight with it led Wolverine to James and Heather.
The art was okay. I liked the colouring of things but I wasn't keen on how Wolverine himself was drawn. I understand that he was starting out more animal than man in this volume and I felt that the way he was drawn reflected that, but I didn't like the style, personally. Overall, though, there was talent in the art so I can't complain too much, and it didn't detract or put me off from the story.
That being said, I did like Wolverine as a character and the way he acted. I found it realistic, given the situation, and I just generally like him as a character anyway.
All in all, I did enjoy this first volume and will carry on with any more that follow it.
