Read it in Spanish and English. I liked it, flaws and all, but do wish it had been better.
I'm not exactly the world's biggest Wolverine fan, but I liked this quite a lot. It's the story of the very early days of Wolverine, and it's beautifully drawn and seriously, any book that has me care about Logan deserves some credit. Definitely a lot better than the movie, too.
I think the graphic comic called ‘Wolverine: Weapon X’ is a horrific origin story! Omg!
I have copied the comic blurb:
”Wolverine's a lot of things to a lot of people, but to one infamous enclave he was nothing but a... weapon. And weapons kill people. They found that out well enough. Find out just how much "X" can cover in this prequel to recent revelations of the murderous mysteries that have mesmerized our favorite mutant! Collects Marvel Comics Presents #72-84”
I feel sorry for what the super antihero Wolverine went through, but frankly he wouldn’t give a damn what I think or what anyone else might think! Wolverine, aka Logan, was never a nice guy before or after his bones were replaced with Adamantium. The physical transformation that was tortuously forced on him by a mad scientist made the mutant whom we know as Wolverine an even stronger, meaner warrior than he already was. In other words, into a terrifying unstoppable unkillable killer!
Weapon X was part of the Canadian government operation called the Weapon Plus Program. They were trying to make soldiers like Captain America. However, the selection of Logan as a test subject was not a wise choice! He was already a hardass tough guy before the operation. Afterwords, he was an ANGRY hardass tough guy!
Oooooops.

The story is just decent; the art is beautiful. I had higher hopes than it delivered on, but I did still enjoy it over all.
I'm getting back into comic books and the Wolverine Origin story is a beautifully drawn piece of work. A great introduction to the world's most famous Canadian superhero.
This was messy to say the least - it could have been better but it also could have been worse. Did I enjoy it? Meh. Did I hate it? Also meh. It ultimately was a story that didn't really make sense and I didn't really like any of the characters.
While the Professor as a character is frustratingly one-dimensional, the rest of the tale continues to rivet me with each subsequent reading. The art alone is worth the time, but it's not just pretty: it conveys story with every panel, even the obvious pin-up/splash pages. Understanding Logan's struggle to retain his humanity throughout his tenure in comics requires this on your shelf.
I've been reading a fair amount of Wolverine comics lately, and I felt like this one didn't really compare. For an origin story, it didn't feel like Wolverine at all. I guess you can see where some things come from, but really I didn't feel any connection between this Wolverine and the Wolverine of the future.
