Ouu really liked it! Interesting twists, heartbreak, heavy subjects. The artwork was beautiful too! Some people complain about inconsistency of appearance but personally I like seeing different aspects because I think it’s a good way to express certain parts of the story.

Probably one of the highest rated Wolverine stories, and glad I finally got a chance to read.
This is a very dark, fucked up, look into the days inside weapon X for Logan. We waste no time with him being tested on within the first 25 pages of the book. Kidnapped and used, crafted into the ultimate weapon, Logan undergoes some of the most horrible things humans can do to each other. Treat them as nothing more than a means to a end.
Logan's trauma is played out well here, giving characters a more human look into things. There's no over the top evil warlord, it's just people being awful, and there's plenty of real life people just like that sadly. This leads to a more realistic take than I expected, and the violence shocking and brutal when happening.
I'd say sometimes was hard to follow the dialogue, seems all over the place in placement at times. Maybe to make you feel like logan but I didn't love that.
But overall very much worth reading, especially if you're a Logan fan. A 4 out of 5.

maybe some of the best artwork… ever, BWS is a master left alone to do his own thing and boy did he deliver, a fantastic story thats not mingled with the other goings ons, theres no talk of the avengers here, no cosmic threats, hell no x-men. seriously, if this wasnt a hugely popular Wolverine book, and about some dude, people would be praising this as a masterpiece of science fiction, but im gonna do it anyway
i wasnt too big a fan of the latter parts, but undeniably a masterpiece

For better or worse, Origin dispels much of the mystery that surrounds the man with the adamantium claws, but honestly, there are too many long-winded rantings from x-fans as to why this work is awful, contrived, or just plain bad. In actuality, it plays as a tragedy that starts off as a heighty, Brontëan tale of generational trauma elicited by class commentary that later bleeds into the red-blooded, vigorous exploits of manly globe-trotters such as Jack London.
I personally find the cascading tragedy interesting, even if it overly relies on other classical yarns to weave its tale.

I actually gave up on this one, which is rare for me with a comic from the library.

Meh. It still left me with questions. And on the graphic side, I feel like they way some characters looked was not consistant. I would get them confused when looking at them and at times it seemed they aged in either direction. Confusing.
