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.

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.
