WOW! genius! frank miller is and always will be the best and he showed it here as always.
One of the best comic stories ever written... Combining the talents of two of comics' true superstars, Chris Claremont and Frank Miller, this 6-part story takes the character of Wolverine in a whole new direction and served as the start of his own long-running solo series.
A must have for fans of the character, fans of the X-men, or just those who love a good story.
The Beginning Great book awesome story and fun to read. Read in one sitting and then read it again a few days later. Couldn't keep my hands off it. Simply incredible way to bring it all together.
Always a Classic The first mini delving into the story of Wolverine as a character. In this book we get to see the great background that made Wolverine/Logan the Icon he is today. I recommend this for any fan of Wolverine and or the X-Men. As a warning the dialogue is typical Claremont as its very comic booky and sometimes cheesy.
Still awesome after all this time Before he became the posterchild for everything X-Men, Wolverine was a berserker mutant with animalistic rage who made his debut as an adversary for the Incredible Hulk, and eventually gaining much notoriety in the re-vamped X-Men comics under the pen of Chris Claremont. However, it wasn't until this mini-series that Wolverine really gained the iconic status that he has as one of Marvel's heroes, and upon reading this, you'll be able to see why. Claremont presents an impromptu origin story for Wolverine, as he deepens his already mysterious past while injecting a new kind of life into the character as well. What's even better than Claremont's story is the artwork by none other than the legendary Frank Miller; who along with Claremont are kind of the guys responsible in the long run for the oversaturation of Wolverine in terms of popularity. Surprising, action packed, and above all still awesome after all these years, this Wolverine mini-series, now re-packaged in a handsome hardcover collection, is a must own for fans regardless of age.
