John Wick Vol. 1

Product Information

John was born Jardani Jovonovich in a Padhorje village somewhere in the Byelorussian SSR of the Soviet Union to a Ruska Roma family on September 2, 1964. Its great that we get a glimpse into John’s childhood but in all honesty the whole chain of events just feels a bit jarring.

Akira Kurosawa's samurai aesthetic plays a huge part in the Wickiverse, and so does Jackie Chan, as like Chan, Keanu Reeves does virtually all his own Wick stunts. The artwork was serviceable, I liked how the artists drew John Wick as he looks very much how he does in the films. The Bowery King, recovering from grave wounds inflicted by the Adjudicator's assassin named Zero, retrieves the badly injured John in his hideout, where he tells John that he plans to declare war against the High Table and John agrees to join him.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

When he sees someone got a pie before him he starts berating the waitress and then turns his sights on the man and starts aggravating and goading him. As the John Wick universe has revealed more of its secrets, we've learned that John had more than one hiding place for the gold coins, markers, and weapons underneath his house.Unfortunately, the first issue casts doubt on whether this series can actually make good on that promise. i love LORE i love learning about characters that i fixate on and just storing fun facts about them in my cheeks like a chipmunk.

Three men go on a mass murder spree over a “couple of grand” that they pretty much just shrug off a few panels later.

And in Chapter 3, John has Sofia Al-Azwar's (Halle Berry) marker stashed in a book of Russian fairy tales at the New York Public Library, along with one of the last remaining photographs of his wife Helen. And while the choices made for John's past were questionable at best, I shrugged it off as a legendary killer needing a ridiculously overdramatic backstory. Even bigger than that is the idea that John Wick potentially regularly ran into criminals as a kid on the streets of Baja California.
