4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting Logan back story.
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2017

I thought this was a good series, short, a little scary and interesting to see Wolverine become something more than an animal who crawled around with the wolves at the start of his life and literally yell his humanity to someone of superior intellect who saw him as nothing but a programmable monster.

I think this speaks volumes to people in the world today, how we are so pushed to be specific things by the 'superior intellect' ones who know what's best, and there we are, constantly rebelling, fighting, demanding our humanity be seen and respected for what it is, regardless of who we are or where we came from.

Also I found it strange that Cornelius was (what appeared to be) killed, but yet returns in the Death of Wolverine to totally go all "OH YA?!" towards Logan.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic Story with Beautiful Artwork
Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2014

This is a collection that I have been wanting to read for so long now and finally got around to it. This story about the weapon X program and how they infused the adamantium to wolverine is such a classic tale, it's just a shame I waited this long to read it. It is the very best of BWS. If you've seen the movie, you NEED to read the original version of this epic tale. If you didn't see the movie, you still NEED to read this story.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another origin version
Reviewed in the United States on June 2, 2016
Verified Purchase
In the Marvel Universe there are usually one or two origins for their top level characters. This is the origin story of Wolverine brought forward into the current era forgetting that he has been in the X men since the 80's . Even then the origin of his adamatium skeleton and claws was based on an unknown military experiment but it was never really explored in detail. The original Wolverine was a tough guy who smoked drank and called everyone " bub" but wasn't the feral creature he is in this series. I'm more of an old school comic guy and this new jumping back and forth convoluted story telling and darker art style doesn't do a whole lot for me. This was my first Kindle comic experience and I liked getting the entire series in one package.

Fantastic read I followed and collected this series years ago when it was in comic form so I’m really happy to have it in a collected edition. Art is great by Barry fits the story and tone like a glove.
