Well, the story is totally unintelligible, but the art is pretty neat, innovative for its time.
The origins of Wolverine, I was not as impressed as I wanted to be. The story just didn't hook me.

Alright, if you’ve been reading my blog for a while now, you know that I’m a major X-Men fan. I had heard about this book before but I hadn’t really gotten around to reading it, which is surprising, to say the least. What made me finally pick it up, though, was hearing it referenced on The Big Bang Theory during one of the characters’ classic bickering matches about various superheroes. All I can say about it now, though is that I definitely don’t regret it!
One thing that needs to be said is that it’s not very action-packed in the classic comic book sense, but it’s more for informational purposes about where Wolverine came from. There are a lot of little things that reference later comics about Wolverine and his character. It’s also a timepiece comic and I believe it takes place in the 1800s so this automatically rules this out as a science fiction book like most of the X-Men comics! Despite this, it flows at a very good pace and kept me very engaged and wondering how this led to the character we’ve all come to know.
I think one important thing to say about this book is that it fills in a lot of holes in Wolverine’s story. We get great insight into who he was and why he is the way he is now. We, of course, get a lot of his story in the chronologically later comics, but this just gives us the very beginning which is always useful and interesting. Honestly, while this gives us a great and riveting story, not many events in this book impact the later events in Wolverine’s life. The only thing it does is explain his character much more (which I’m all for). What I’m saying is, we don’t see the villains in this book later on (at least to my knowledge, and there’s always a chance I could be wrong).
Anyway, if you’re interested in Wolverine’s character, then I would highly recommend this book because it’s always interesting to read origin stories in my opinion. I also just love timepiece books and comics so this was right up my alley!

So far my X-Men/Wolverine experience has been from the X-Men cartoon and the recent movies. This book tells Wolverine's story, however, this story differs greatly from what the movies hinted at.
While not sure if there really is one theory on Wolverine's origins, this is a dramatic tale and one I'm interesting in pursuing.

This graphic novel tells the story of how Wolverine gained his adamantium skeleton. We see the process of his kidnapping and the horrors that took place afterwards. The art is brilliantly done with fierce splashes of color and strong lines. This is a must read for X-Men fans and fans of the genre, though it isn't truly something that I would reread often.
The art was beautiful and it was interesting seeing it through the eyes of rose
thought this would have more action but instead the whole story was just really sad :/
Really really good. Everything you want from a wolverine comic
