I'm not sure I like the false ending thing. It went along and I thought things were really happening, and then it turned out Logan had been set up or something (I'm still not sure) so then he had to go back and do it for real. I don't really know what it added. I suppose good for Logan for seeing through it?
If it wasn't for that I would have rated it higher. It was gruesome and awful, as it should have been.

Me encantó.
Para empezar, Logan no es realmente Logan, si no James, pero el verdadero Logan no es el Logan que conocemos. Okay, suena muy confuso pero así es, y esto fue una de las cosas que más me gusto, desde un primer momento parece ser muy predecible el rumbo que la historia va a tomar, sin embargo no lo es. La historia toma un rumbo completamente inesperado, y es más que fantastico.
Ame toda la historia que construyeron detras de un personaje tan íconico como lo es Wolverine. Es una porte del personaje que no conocía ni por otros cómics, ni por las películas, es bastante curioso ver de dónde proviene el tan famoso Wolverine.

Real creepy cover, but I'll forgive it.
ANYWAY
ANYTHING WOLVERINE RELATED IS AUTOMATICALLY AWESOME
But I did really like this, even though it was very dark and very bittersweet.
The drawing style was also different than usual comic art, which I really enjoyed.
I also read this in like half an hour, which was sad, because it was over so quickly!

The art by Kubert is fantastic. A must read for all Wolverine fans.

This is a thoroughly enjoyable comic that is a really interesting read and gives an incredibly interesting backstory for an iconic character. The only issue I found was that during the climactic end of the first section, it was very difficult to understand what happened and to who. But overall a very good comic.
not a fan of the artwork and some of the directions this book took I wasn't a fan of. However the writer knew how to write wolverine.
This felt like a lot of other X-Men books to me with the big difference being that it focuses on Wolverine's childhood. I was left thinking "so what?" at the end of this book. It didn't do anything to make me excited to read more about the character and there wasn't really any consequences to what happened here. It basically took him from one part of the world and plopped him down in another, with most of the people reading it knowing that is where he was going to end up at some point because of everything else that has been written about the character.
Now, I don't think the book was written poorly. It seems to encapsulate a lot of what readers would expect from Wolverine and ties in pretty nicely from what I knew about him going in. I'm a little torn on the art though. A lot of the set pieces are fantastic, just really well drawn. The characters blended together for me at times though. Diehard Wolverine fans might get something out of it.

Although I haven't read a lot in the Marvel superhero-genre, I did enjoy this book a lot. Beautiful artwork and an impressive and tragic story on the origins of one of the most beloved characters of the Marvel superheroes.
I had no idea where to start when it came to reading X-Men comics so I decided to go with Wolverine: Origins. I did really enjoy it but I wasn't too fond of it being narrated by the character Rose instead of Wolverine himself. I would have liked to have known how Wolverine felt and what he was thinking sometimes.
Also the character Dog was interesting but not in it enough when he's older. He kind of just disappears after a reappearance.
Apart from both those problems I did really enjoy it. I really loved the artwork (I think that won it for me), the characters and the overall story :)
