    <body><![CDATA[Finally, right?  Wolverine's origin.  It's about time, right?  I mean, we've known since, I dunno, the 90's that he was born with his claws, that he was a Canadian secret agent, that he got the adamantium lining on his bones in the Weapon X project, that he fought in WWII and so on and so forth.

    <body><![CDATA[I was psyched when I first discovered this collection at my local comic shop.  Wolverine has been one of my favorite Marvel characters since I first discovered the X-Men and I was finally going to learn where he came from.  I've got to admit, after reading through this series, I was a bit underwhelm...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19044575">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I really enjoyed reading the origin of Wolverine and how he grew up as a kid.  It was interesting to see his family life and where he came from, and all the events leading up to him becoming the solitary person that he is.  I was disappointed though that it did not continue the story along until he ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40611353">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I finally read this this year, despite having bought it at least a year or two ago.  It was great.  I didn't really know what to expect.  It really showed (without giving too much away) a vulnerability that was a nice change.  And I like how the movie picked up on it, but then skipped ahead instead ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61759625">more...</a>]]></body>

This book tells Wolverine's story, however, this story differs greatly from what the movies hinted at.  <br/><br/>While not sure if there really is one theory on Wolverine's origins, this is a dramatic tal...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38658422">more...</a>]]></body>
