5 out of 5 starsOrigins
Simply put, I really enjoyed this. Especially seeing the 'not-so-nice' aspects of Wolverine's past and persona. Finding out the cruel irony that just as he was made a monster, he also directly created one. Seeing an entire government going on red alert out of sheer fear and helplessness at the situation: Wolverine has his memories back. What, does he remember? What is his agenda? How much damage and destruction is going to occur? And finally, a good ol' fashion throwdown between the Canuckle head and non other than Captain America. The title Born in Blood also has a more symbolic and poetic meaning, especially when you get to the last pages.



5 out of 5 starsRemember the Past. Thanks for the Future
I'll start out by saying the Wolverine is not my favorite X-Man, who are my favorite heroes of all time. That spot would have to be held by Kurt Wagner, the magnificent Nightcrawler. However, with this series, I have put Logan up into my top five X-Men. His life sucks, and this book pretty much explains a lot of the reasons why. With M-Day, Logan was able to get a lot of his memories back, some good, most not so. This series ties the present in with a lot of his past, and with this book one, we can see that Logan is not a really happy dude. But he's willing to change and he wants to tie up loose ends, one way or another. I like this book because it has guest stars from today who made an impact on his life in the past and how he deals with them now, for better or for worse. I also like the simplistic art, which is kind of a throwback to yesteryear. It gives you the feel of the past, which is much needed in a book for Wolverine: Origins. So for those of you out there who are hatin' on Logan, stop. Just give the book a try. Peace and Love, Jake



1 out of 5 starsGreat art, possibly the worst Wolverine story ever told
Aside from Steve Dillon doing a great job on this series everything else is nothing short of a travesty. Wolverine has been reduced to a whimpering, sobbing fool who is nothing short of a mass murderer of the most evil and shrill ever introduced. But hey, he was just mind controlled, drugged and duped! So what if he is torturing and murdering as casually as one would buy a soda, it was the government! Ugh. Who thinks up this rubbish? Wolverine always had a redeemable quality to him and now hes a guy who is responsible for probably half of the evil known to mankind but its OK because someone else was controlling him? Now mutants are 100's of years old? Now Wolverine has been around about as long as Jesus Christ? Sound like a good comic to you? The writer of this garbage should be locked up with the woman from Misery and be forced to rewrite a tale that takes it all back. I just cant recall a character being ruined more so than in this comic.



2 out of 5 starsDead in the water
Do we really need another Wolverine series? Does Marvel's most over-used character need another ongoing series, really? What he started with the regular Wolverine series, writer Daniel Way attempts to slowly reveal elements of Wolverine's past with this first volume of Wolverine: Origins, in which we start to gradually learn hidden facets of Logan's past, or something to that effect. Way's storytelling does little to give anymore insight to Wolverine's reluctant hero nature, and instead only attempts to throw in some lame flashback-style storytelling elements, all of which mixes together for a very confusing beginning tale. Wolvie even goes at it with Captain America, for no apparent reason whatsoever. Preacher co-creator Steve Dillon (Way's partner for the excellent Supreme Power: Nighthawk mini-series) supplies the artwork here, and while I've always been a fan of Dillon's work, as a previous reviewer said, his realistic style isn't suited for superhero material. All in all, Wolverine: Origins does very little to reveal really much of anything about Wolverine that we don't already know, and even for the most die hard of Wolverine fans, this book is better left on the shelf.



1 out of 5 starsUnneccesary, unwarranted, and ugly
Wolverine: Origins is a horrible book. I collected the series up through #15 before I decided that I had to drop it. The book basically has no redeeming qualities. The stories are short, mind-numbingly boring, and completely unneccesary. All Daniel Way succeeds in doing is filling in "gaps" in Wolverine's history - "gaps" which he himself created. Does anyone care that apparently Wolverine had a little bit of history with a one-off Daredevil villain named Nuke? No. Was anyone clambering for the return of Cyber? No. Did Marvel really need to give a guy who already uses blades as weapons and who has six of them on hand (heh - made myself laugh with that one!) a sword? No. This book is just completely ridiculous. Steve Dillon's art talents are wasted, as his art here is so bland and seems to lack any emotion. Please, even if you are a Wolverine fan, do yourself a favor, and avoid this series. You will be glad you did.
