Loaned from a friend, I recently sat down and read Wolverine: Origin. In the forward, a commenter mentions that there is no way someone could pull this off. Despite his misgivings he grew to love the story and wish he had thought of it. For me, there was no way it could ever live up to that hype.
Wolverine’s past has been one of those comic book mysteries for, what, 30 years? And they expected to tell the story of his origin in what amounts to about 6 books? With what they had to work with they did a marvel-ous (hah!) job, but by the end it certainly didn’t feel like enough.
Still, it’s a canon origin story. Don’t *you* want to know his past?
