Mostly tedious. Bad 90s art. It feels like I read twelve issues and learned basically nothing. If you already know the gist of what the Weapon X program was there’s nothing to be gleaned from this and not much entertainment either. There is what appears to be an interesting twist towards the end but it’s immediately made irrelevant.
Only one woman. Implied to have been killed but apparently, she pops up in later comics (then gets killed, just to be safe I guess.)
I feel like my 3 stars may be slightly generous but eh. At least it wasn't long.

The movie was stupid, and this was even worse. The dialogue was cliche, the characters did whatever was convenient to advance the plot, and overall this very short mini-series felt like it spanned hundreds of pages.
Amazing! Not going to spoil the ending, but I just have to say that last scene was really hard-hitting. A blow I did not expect, but fully understand.
That was awesome! An incredibly dark and terrifying origin story for one of the most ferocious superheroes in the comic universe. Anyone who's familiar with Logan is aware of his origins. In the original films, this is glanced over with nothing but subtle nods. The Wolverine: Origins film follows this but its nowhere as near to reality as it should've been.
This is definition of rage. Its Weapon X.
A lot of people's criticisms here are that the story follows the scientist too much but Logan is kinda sedated for this story? I'm not sure how else you can tell this story. Had the story been Logan suffering then there's no narrative to follow. This is the only POV where it makes sense in my opinion.
The fire in me has been lit. Hopefully the MCU's introduction of the X-Men does the comics justice. Sadly nothing will ever match Hugh Jackman's portrayal of this character.

I suspect that if you already know lots about Wolverine, then this fills in blanks, and there are hopefully lots of 'ooh' or 'oh' moments. As a standalone, it was a waste of time. The characters were not well developed, with the exception of the main female character Rose, who actually had a good bit of back story, depth, and character development. Many of the others came across as caricatures. Plus, there are lots of references to a brother, but they are sufficiently vague that rather than piquing my interest, or giving me an idea of what was happening, they just annoyed.
Such a sad story! It was cool to go more in depth on his back story. I am a little sick of the 'losing your significant other in a tragic accident' being used so frequently as the reason for what happens in comics. But maybe that's just because I read The Killing Joke. I don't know, but either way, it is a good read for any Wolverine fan.
This graphic novel was compelling and told a really interesting story of Wolverine’s origins.
Bastante mediocre, la verdad. Entiendo la importancia de este cómic en la historia de Marvel; al fin y al cabo, es la historia que por fin reveló el pasado de Lobezno. Sin embargo, creo que falla en lo principal: que la trama importe un carajo. Lobezno es tratado como un objeto y no como un ser humano por todos los investigadores (/torturadores), una idea maravillosa para mostrar el sufrimiento del personaje. Esto, que suena tan bien sobre el papel, en... bueno, en el papel dibujado, se convierte en una apatía absoluta hacia Lobezno. No se incide en sus pensamientos, en sus traumas ni en su dolor, sino que está ahí y, al final, me da la sensación de que Windsor-Smith trata a su personaje como sus investigadores. Obviamente, hay algunos intentos por mostrar lo mal que lo pasa, pero quedan como pensamientos a posteriori y en ningún momento se entra en su psique destrozada. Ver la acción desde la distancia y el punto de vista de los investigadores provoca una frialdad que, en cierto modo, contrasta bien con ese Lobezno lleno de tubos y artilugios de aspecto amenazante. Sin embargo, cuando al final del volumen se trata de mostrar su nueva personalidad, no termino de ver ni la evolución ni el interés.
Quizá una buena baza de la obra sea el dibujo. No me parece nada del otro mundo, pero hay un gran trabajo ahí y no voy a negarle a Windsor-Smith el dominio del ritmo (aunque las primeras páginas son demasiado confusas).
En general, no es un mal cómic, tan solo se queda a medias en todo lo que hace.

A surprisingly good tale of one of the most famous mutants in the Marvel universe. I say "surprisingly" because most late "origin" tales either from Marvel or DC, are dissapointing. It succeeds as a period piece, isolated from the rest of the X-men world, and the plot twists come naturally and unexpected. Some mysteries kept unsaid, though, and those keep the tale in motion.
