By: Jeph Loeb
Publisher: Marvel Comics
March 19, 2008
Loeb has done some great ret-cons in the past. All of his work on Batman lately gave him carte blanche in my book to write whatever he wants on whatever book he wants. So what do we get when he steps up to ret-con the man of a million pasts? He ret-cons it to coincide with Len Wein's High-Evolutionary origin for Wolverine. These Wolverine/Sabertooth mutants have been battling for centuries and in the... more

A mystical story about the state of Wolverine's soul and how he is able to rejoin his body everytime it regenerates. I love Wolverine this one is an average story and takes Wolverine to the mystical realm a place you wouldn't expect him to ever be. It's different I'll give them that... more

|
By: Christopher Yost, Craig Kyle
Publisher: Marvel Comics
September 23, 2009
I'm an X-Men fan from the 90s and I heard this book would be perfect for me. Wow, that couldn't be more wrong. There was little to no exposition so I was lost for huge chunks of the book. New readers, like myself, even though I do have some knowledge of the charcaters involved, are in for some head scratching. The art is too dark and makes it hard to determine exactly who and what is in each panel... more

By: Mike Carey, Daniel Way
Publisher: Marvel Comics
September 02, 2009
...and the sum of the parts is actually better than the individual books. By their very nature, "Wolverine: Origins" and "X-Men: Legacy" are doomed to cover (or un-cover?) old ground.
This isn't to disparage the creative teams on either title--Mike Carey, especially, is one hell of a writer. It's just that there's very little forward progress. Every step forward takes us 10 steps into... more

| 6. Wolverine: Blood & Sorrow (Astonishing X-Men) |
|
By: Stuart Moore, Rob Williams, David Lapham, C.P. Smith, Laurence Campbell, David Aja
Publisher: Marvel Comics
July 25, 2007
First off, X-men Unlimited #12, shouldn't even count as an issue. It's literally 6 back-to-back pages long, the art sucks, and nothing happens. So, you're really paying for two normal issues and a double size issue. Giant-Size Wolverine #1 may be enjoyed by a select few, but I didn't enjoy it that much. The art wasn't very good, and the plot was like that of a bad horror movie. Wolverine #41 has... more

| 8. Wolverine: Enemy of the State |
|
By: Mark Millar
Publisher: Marvel Comics
July 09, 2008
What I mean by it being only okay, is it is nothing great. Before the story it has this preface where a guy talks about how he doesn't like comic books, with the exception of The Watchmen and similar deep original thought provoking ones- He then explains that he found this book to be one of them, surprisingly. Therefore when I started reading I was ready for, you know, a story! There was none... more

While I read a lot of Marvel titles, I haven't kept up as well as I apparently need to in order to know all the characters in this crossover.
Some positives:
Even though this section is much smaller than my complaints below, I want to be clear that I enjoyed the storyline. The overall plot was well thought out, and I enjoyed reading the Summit notes at the end of the trade... more
