I just finished reading Daniel Way and Steve Dillon's "Wolverine Origin" series to find that Jeph Loeb and SImone Bianchi tell pretty much the same story over again but with a bit of a focus on Sabretooth.
Skip it. I wish I had. Bianchi's art is inconsitent with panel breaks that detract from the storytelling. And this was written during a period in Loeb's career that is best forgotten.

This review is based on the motion comic version, called Wolverine vs. Sabretooth.
While shelving DVDs in the children's section of the library tonight, I saw two newish-looking movies on the shelves that hadn't been in our branch before. Both were Wolverine motion comic DVDs from the Marvel Knights imprint. I've read enough Wolverine and Marvel comics to know that these were *not* the ones aimed at young children, but before inquiring further up the chain to find out if the library does indeed want them labeled "Children," I checked them out to watch at home.
Within the first five minutes, Wolverine is swearing, talking about being drunk, having sex up against a tree, and then that woman (Silver Fox) is brutally raped and murdered. By the end of the series of short episodes, mostly featuring Wolverine narrating a connected arc we've seen him slice off two arms and a head, and at one point he suggests to the listener/viewer making his story into a drinking game.
Soooooo...I feel like this was a silly mistake, where some DVD vendors looked at it and saw a cartoon and slapped the Children's sticker on them without knowing that Marvel Knights = Mature, intended for adults, etc. My suspicions were confirmed.
But it also turned out to be one of the best Wolverine movies/shows that's been made! In the Bonus materials, Jeph Loeb says the first half of the story was collected as Wolverine: Evolution, so I'm hoping that's true. Anyway, this motion comic features some unexpected content with T'Challa/Black Panther, Storm, Rahne (of the New Mutants), and a bunch of other beast/dog/cat/wolf-themed mutants.
