Wolverine Origins 28

[ANewHope]

If you're a fan of wolverine, this is a definite must have. The story shows important glimpses of his history, and his first fight with the Wendigo and the Hulk.

The comic also makes the comparision of his son to Sabertooth, as he's not beyond redemption yet, he might be able to save his son from becoming just a killing machine

Sorry, I don't write summaries, but this was a great read. Wow. I'm gonna go pick up another copy tomorrow, if any is still available.

Great issue. 10 out of 10. This is the best thing Daniel Way has ever written.

[Eye in the Sky]

I don't know if it was the Deodato are or if Way is just getting better at writing Logan, but this was a great issue. This was my first isssue of Wolverine: Origins that I picked up and I must say, it was well worth it.

Was the revelation of Romulus kinda leading Logan to Xavier via the Hulk battle something shown before hand in this series or is it brand new to this issue?

Anyways, I'm on for this crossover.

The important revelation, really, is that the Canadian government was giving Logan orders, but he was actually following orders he got from Romulus when he went after the Hulk.

And he did it specifically to garner the attention from a certain wheelchair bound mystery telepath who was searching for some replacement mutants to make a team out of. Romulus wanted him to infiltrate "X" and his team.

Nice setup for "Original Sin".

And yes, this was an improvement, and Deodato's art really helps.

7/10.

After reading Deadpool, me thinks Way just had a good week. Lets hope he keeps it up.

I'm still gushing over the ar, it fit the tone of the book very well. Shame he won't be sticking around for the rest of the series.

I wasn't expecting to much out of this issue, since the story is mostly a setup for "Original Sin", but I was pleasantly surprised with this.

Here's to hoping.

Considering this is a prologue to original sin I would not be surprised if the editors actually looked it over more than usual plus he probably had some direction form MC. I didnt buy this because im done with origins, but if its good great. I do hate hearing about all these retcons though. Another one I read was a preview of Weapon X first Class spoilers:

which shows gambit as a teenager stealing a book for nathaniel essex at the same time Wolverine first escaped the Weapon X complex.

end of spoilers Some things just arent needed and in my opinion they clutter the past up even more.

[StoneGold]

OK, that was Deodato going above and beyond the call of duty there. Even ignoring the wacky cool perspective shots - the thing with the glasses, the wheelchair shot at the end - he drew the perfect perspective of a 5'4" guy taking on the Hulk. That was goddamn genius art there.

[anansi11]

the art was sick, deodato seems to get better and better. all the crazy perspectives really added alot to flashbacks of things we had already seen. THIS is how the hulk should be drawn. considering how terrible the few issues of origins I read before this were, this is a pretty big improvement. Despite this, Daken is just a lame character, I don't think anything can make him interesting to me.

I'm a little concerned with the retcons though, i guess this is implying that prof. x at least knew who romulus was or was working with him? It seems like they can't leave well enough alone. the barry windsor smith weapon x origin was brilliant and doesn't really need to be messed with.

One question: when did wolvie chop off sabretooths f#&*ing head? I've just gotten back in comics again in the last year or so, I guess I missed this?

What worstblogever said. And just in case you were thinking of maybe buying this to see what you missed, why not give the X-Axis review a read first. I would not like to think that some poor unsuspecting fellow might fall victim to this storyline without due warning first.

[rwsmith]

Yeah, this was definitely a great issue. It's a retcon, sure, but it works within the established continuity (and is pretty darn cool to boot!).

I'm gonna trust this review specifically. I skipped over this book yesterday because I tend to automatically screen out books with Daken, but this review made it sound like he went out of the focus pretty quickly. And I was gonna try the crossover anyway, might as well start with the first issue.

hmm well i WAS going to check this out because i dig sabretooth and can't believe he was killed off. i'm guessing this def. won't stick though.

i didn't read the whole review after the part where they called it abysmally awful or something to that effect lol. it seems like marvel is going heavy on the retcons lately with spiderman, this, all the capt. america stuff. i'm sure there's more here that i haven't read. oh and i forgot all the stuff that's going on in x-men legacy, even though i don't read that book i read the reviews.

thanks for the warning! it's too bad its crap because i like bianchi's art.

[pharoahe22]

This was good...I might have to put Origins back on the Pull list if it continues to be this good. I'm on board. Deodato should've been drawing this book from Day 1!!!

[Disgruntled1]

Is Mike Deodato only doing this 1 arc? Latest Solicits don't have him as the artist anymore?
