Wolverine: The Origin - Bill Jemas, Andy Kubert, Paul Jenkins

...Having seen the recent film Wolverine: Origins, I was wondering whether it would be the same, but it's completely different. It harkens back to when Wolverine was a child named James, a sheltered son of a wealthy family, and it develops his life as an outcast following deaths, as he flees with Rose, who is also blamed for the deaths. The story develops somewhat, as Wolvie grows a bit older, and it is the tale that is quite enticing here, how he ...
...Canada, frced to fend for himself, and how the development of his name Logan, and nickname Wolverine came about. The story also develops his relationship with wolves and how he came to use his claws, which protrude from his knuckles whenever he finds himself needing an extra defence. I found the story to be a bit hard to get hold of to start with. Written by Bill Jemas, it is well developed, but confusing to start with. The artwork doesn't help, ...

Review of Wolverine: The Origin - Bill Jemas, Andy Kubert, Paul Jenkins

When I first heard about this title I was quite prepared to hate it. Now I know that's a strong statement, but let me explain. For many years now the X-Men, and especially Logan (Wolverine), have been a favourite of mine, through their various incarnations and line-ups.

Review of Wolverine: The Origin - Bill Jemas, Andy Kubert, Paul Jenkins

When I first found out that there was a title into the past of Wolverine i was over the moon. I was finally going to find out his mysterious past. I was not dissappointed when I read it either for it goes so well into the deep depths of his past and gives you a surprising new insight into Wolverine that would never of been considered otherwise. He comes from quite a well off family, is a sickly child until some unforseen incidences casue him to go ...
...come to love as Wolverine is born. This is a good book that is extremly well illustrated. It gives you a wonderful insight and understanding of why Wolverine is who he is, with out bringing all the old cliches that have come to be associated with him. A must have book that is both fresh and insightful. So go and get it now if you want to know where he truly comes from. ...
