Book Reviews of Wolverine: Origin
Book Review: An Origin with Originality
Summary: 4 Stars
This definately wasn't what I expected and I'm thankful for that. The creators really sought after a story that would be familiar, but unfamiliar at the same time. We see metaphors for later events in Wolverine's life. We also have some unexpected twists, like how Wolvie is a yuppie twerp in the first stages of his life. What works in this story, is they make everything new for you, and then weave it into the Wolverine we all know very very carefully. We then realize that it took a lot of hardship to make Logan who he is today. It wasn't done overnight.
The series is great and definately re-readable. I don't have anything bad to say about the story at all. The artwork was very complimentary to the tone of the story. We also receive some afterthoughts and early planning notes in the back of the book. The afterwords are nice, but the long list of brainstorms was really not necessary. It was somewhat interesting to see how it all started, but after a while it got really boring. I'm the type of person that likes to read every word in his comics, but if you don't there's no reason you won't love this origin. I'm just saying you might want to pass on those pages.
Origin is very much everything we wanted. It has more emotion than blood n guts, which is what I think we all needed. You think you know Wolverine? You have no idea.
