Wolverine: Origins, Vol. 1: Born In Blood
I’m a pretty big fan of Wolverine, he would be my second favorite comic book hero (#1 being Iron Man…) This graphic novel/comic book is pretty entertaining, but quite bloody. I mean this is Wolverine so be prepared for alot of blood. The art is quite detailed and not sloopy, I really like it. and Wolverine having a Murasma Sword=Awesome. The story ties in pretty well to me. It seems like this would be his Origin IMO. I don’t really see why people don’t like this. I gave this 5 stars, because the rating is way too low. I’d really give this about 4 stars. Rating: 5 / 5
good wolverine’s past is revealing we already knew weapon x, shield and the government used logan as a weapon I learned that when I got into the x men around 95-96. good to see wolverine on a vendetta folks wanted to see logan pissed well they got it you xcan’t handle the brutality that’s you wish he did more damage to the silver samaurai though, liked the way nuke endede up too love how wolverine almost chopped him up plus we get to see how bucky was involved in whatever happened to logan being the way he is now a wife was revealed who endfed up dead we get a retelling of silver fox’s death killed by sabretooth we already knew this even when she was revived and killed by creed again this time for real.
keep the death and the claws coming. Rating: 4 / 5
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. Rating: 1 / 5
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 Rating: 5 / 5
When I first heard about this series I thought it was a great idea. Wolverine is a character whse past is shrouded in mystery but they can only keep teasing it out so long before they deliver something of substance. This first story ‘Born in Blood’ is not it. Writer Daniel Wray uses shock tactics and character guest appearances in place of plot and still manages to stretch what could have been two issues into a five issue “arc”. In the end we’re left even more confused then when we began.
Artist Steve Dillon is also ill suited for this series. He did a good job on ‘Preacher’ with Garth Ennis but as a super hero artist he is an utter disaster. All of the characters appear to be playing dress up, because his realistic style strips all the super hero pizazz out of them. Also every single one of his male and famale characters has the exact same face.
In short one should give this Wolverine story a definate pass. Rating: 1 / 5
