Summary: At least he isn't an evolved wolverine.
Comment: Rumor has it that In the 1980s Jim Shooter (former EiC of Marvel Comics) wanted Wolverine's origin to be that an actual wolverine had been evolved into a wolverine-man... thank God they waited to tell this story.
A Tom Sawyer-esque tale gives way to a story of tragic lost innocence in this Paul Jenkins (Inhumans, The Sentry) penned tale illustated by Andy Kubert (X-Men) with AMAZING color by Richard Isanove.
Set in the late 19th century, ORIGIN begins as three children struggle with divisions imposed upon them by class structures set against the backdrop of a wealthy estate in British Columbia. One tragic night sets them apart with two on the run and creates a trauma that will continue to affect Logan for the next century, forging the man he becomes even more so than the Weapon X Program ever would decades later.
Everything Wolverine is can be traced back to these events even if he can't remember them. ORIGIN asks more questions than it answers focusing on telling a solid emotional story rather than a violent action epic. This book is for the hardcore Wolverine fanboy OR someone looking for a good coming of age story. I think the latter will be more satisfied but someone intrested in both will be knocked out by Origin.

Summary: This is a masterpiece of art and literature!!!
Comment: Well let me start off and say I'm not a huge X-Men fan but no matter. I was in one of my comic shops and I ran across this book that had a preview of the first issue of Origin and then I looked closer and found out it was the true story of Wolverine. Wolverine has always fascinated me and I've always wanted to know his story and here I was reading it. The artwork is the best I have ever seen and the story is a multilayered pulls no punches tale of an awesome history of a very unique individual. It should be placed besides the great classics of literature and take my word for it. If you don't like X-men but have always been curious about Wolverine buy this. If you are in the mood for a page turner and one [heck] of a good story buy this book. Romance, Mystery, Drama, Conflict, Horror, Fist Fights this has it all and beats any movie. Thank you marvel for this awesome masterpiece of Logan otherwise known as Wolverine.

Summary: Origin
Comment: The last comic I collected was Origin. This series was absolutely fabulous. Long time comic collectors had their doubts about revealing Wolverine's origin. Hints and scraps were offered involving Weapon X but this series completes the story. I've been finding myself going back into comic shops in between semesters in college picking up graphic novels and this series is one of the reasons why.
