As for me, I’m just going to retcon this stupid book from my memory - Origin never happened, Wolverine’s past remains a mystery, this book is just some weird parallel-universe crap.īatman has an amazing origin story - the Mark of Zorro, the mugging in Crime Alley, the pearls falling onto the street, the young boy stood crushed between his two dead parents. Maybe the character could have a great origin story but the creative team here simply weren’t up to it and completely dropped the ball, instead creating a forgettable, confusing, laughably stupid and pathetic origin story for one of Marvel’s biggest characters. Explaining it in the most convoluted way just how he came by his many names and so forth is a mistake, pure and simple. Wolverine is a character whose mysterious past should’ve stayed mysterious, in order to remain enigmatic and interesting. It’s a godawful prequel that should never have been made because of how poorly conceived it was. Origin is to Wolverine fans as The Phantom Menace is to Star Wars fans - just a massive fuck you to the fans of the character. So if you want to skip the many issues I had with Wolverine: Origin, here’s the conclusion I reach at the end, placed at the start: This review wasn’t meant to run for as long as it did but when I started writing it, it kept going.
