First issue is out!

What does everyone think of it?

I flipped through it at the bookstore. Didn't pay much attention to it so I can't really help you out; the one thing I can say is that I think if the art presented inside the work was anything like the impressive cover art, then it would shoot up on my scale, but the art wasn't terrible.

Meh. The issue did nothing for me. I was gonna drop the regular title for Origins, but i think instead i'll just keep on getting the regular title and pick up Origins in trade IF it turns out to be any good.

I think it will turn out to be good. I like the whole concept of Wolvie knowing a lot of his past and seeking revenge on the bastards that did that to him. The art is alright, it's by Steve Dillon, the same guy who did a lot of Punisher stuff. Plus, Wolverine's wearing his brown suit again!

it didnt really make much sense. dugan's getting yelled at, there's a fake missile which apparently was wolverine's distraction to get into the white house, but then a shiva bot comes out of it? why? what? i'll get another issue or two, and decide whether or not it's worth following through with.

It was decent.

It can only get better (hopefully )

Anyon got scans?

I don't...

The 5th issue, I believe, comes out this month.

Anyone else reading this series?

I am, and the art is just horrible. The fight scene with Cap and Wolverine was horribly drawn...just horrible

The art is...urrgh.

Otherwise it's an ok read.

I don't think Steve Dillon is THAT bad...

He's not, his artwork in the Supreme Power: Nighthawk was excellent but he is really missing the ball thus far on this series I feel

His action scenes...everything is just stiff...like watching statues battle. And everybody's faces look just the same.

Even the woman have man jaws...and that's not cool

You both make valid points. But I like his art better than some other artists, such as McGuiness or Romita Jr.

There was an interview I read that touched on Origins. For the life of me I can't remember who they interview (but I don't think it was Way) but the guy said that Dillon would be drawing Origins for sometime to come... he also said that Dillon does all his work in a bar with a beer in his hand a the last day before the deadline is up. So short story even shorter Dillon is a mediocre artist, a drunk and a procrastinator... excellent combo.


Story and interior art aside I think the cover art alone is enough to warrant buying Wolverine Origins.

Oh yeah, did I mention the teeth? Dillon draws the WORST teeth in comics. Well, it gives me hope. If someone like Dillon or Liefield can get a job as an artist, so can I.

Whats wrong with the art, I like the way they are drew and especially the colouring.

I think the art is ok, not the worst I have seen, but he isn't one I'd recommend

Its bland, uninspired and everyone looks the same?

The writing is boring and stupid.

I mean the fight between Cap and Wolverine was so poorly written on both parts of the characters.

That and I hate Wolverine with a sword its just stupid.

Oh and the art makes me want to cut myself

The art was great, show me some art you like then, because thats the art i like.

I feel hostility towards this book...... I take it you dont like itshocking

I found Emma badly written in this book...since when does she have issues invading other peoples thoughts?

I think a good word to describe the art in this book is... tolerable.

No I didn't mean it that way, I already know Wolvey is hard to probe. What I meant was when Emma entered his head, she said something along the lines of "I don't really enter peoples thoughts uninvited" (Can't remember the exact words but it was something along those lines.) That's what really bugged me, especially when she's well known for abusing her powers.

what im wondering about is whats gonna happen to wolvie's kick ass sword? is it gonna end up in the Xmen's vault or is shield gonna get it

Wolverine goes through magic swords like he goes through ninjas. This is like around his sixth magic sword.

Isn't Wolverine with a sword pretty much the same thing as Spiderman having a lasso or Archangel having a jetpack or Namor wearing a scuba diving gear? Completely not needed...

C'mon, it is really abuse that she does? She has a gift and she's sees no point in engaging in false modesty by not exploiting it fully.

Don't get me wrong, if I had powers I'd do the exact same thing. I was pointing out how the book ignored her personality and tried to make her into a passive Xavier/Jean.

I'm assuming they did it simply to spice things up and make things a tiny bit more interesting. And apparently it is, indeed, supposed to be magical enough to the point where it makes him more powerful when wielding it.

Revealed in new issue, he has a son. I wonder if Flex would get mentioned as he is apparently his son as well

Bah, the Wolverine/Darkness crossover has more to do with his origins than this piece of crap book

It will read better in a graphic novel form I think with all the issues one after another.

Doubtful considering how awful and pointless the book has been.

IMO the Cap thing was the final nail in the cofin of the book.

The fight didnt make sense, the diolauge was awful, it was just a mess

The problem with the book is that story is forced (and slow moving), one of the key players is a D-List character no one cares about and above all else the pacing is bad. The first three issues jumped from the prospective of too many characters and the flash backs were awkward and didn't help advance the story at all. The fight with Captain America was fine; hell it was one of the books only saving graces. It was just a fun slug-fest and that's fine with me. There was plenty of build up and reason for the fight to happen and aside form Cap calling Wolverine a punk the dialogue was pretty good.

Ugh

The fight was horrible.

I mean Cap using the sword?!?

Nothing made sense. Danial Way is really not doing a good job on the book or most of his books. I mean Ghost Rider sucks right now

I thought Way did a pretty good job on Origins and Ending in the other Wolverine title. It was the first thing that in a Wolverine title even approached being a good run since Frank Tieri's last story arc.

Why wouldn't Cap use the Muramasa blade? He knows as well as anyone that he can't beat Wolverine in combat. There is nothing he can do to put Wolverine down; no matter how well he fights at the end of the day he is just fighting to lose. The sword actually have him a tactical advantage why wouldn't use it? Not to mention he couldn't resume the melee combat with out increasing his heart rate and with it the rate at which the bloodclot moved towards his heart.

Just read issue 5.

I wish they would just get a new artist and continue on with the story. Dillon is just so... bland.

Well I picked up the latest issue only because the Queseda cover is so AWESOME!

The book is a LOT better than the last issue, which isnt saying much as it still sucks.

Considering that Hyperion, could completely own Wolverine.

I droped it with the introduction of Omega Red, but may pick it up again when his son appears.

The just started getting it because of the Omega Red arc. In the latest issue, Red dominates Wolvie as usual.

I skimmed it, I like how in the past they did research to find Wolverine's weakness.

yopu idiot loser, if you knew anything you would know that wolverine f*cked omega read many times, he was able to give both him and lady death strike a beating without his healing factor, you moron omega wasnt beating wolverine he just threw him and ran away like some b*tch because he knew that wolverine is going to kill him so he ran away

Dude jrodslam is a great member, you do not talk to him like that.

Show some respect.

Agreed, show respect where respect is due Tooth; and it is very much so here. Just because you do not agree with someone doesnt mean you have to swear and insult them.

Guys; stop bitching about Wolvertooth. I've heard about twelve rants about him today alone. He'll likely be banned soon, and till then:

Problem solved.

I wont get into a name calling battle with you because obviously youre pretty young or just immature.

Now. In comics to date, can you show or list the comic where Wolvie EVER beat Omega Red? I have about every appearance of Red and Wolvie has never beat him. Unless you have one that i dont, ill concede.

In the comic that you are talking about, Wolvie wasnt at full health due to not having his powers at 100%. He was running away from Lady D and Red most of the battle. If you think he gave Red and Deathstrike a beating, read the comic again. If youd like me to post the scans, ill do so. Red and Lady D handed Wolvie to sabes on a silver platter pretty much.

In the recent issue of Origins, Red ko'd Wolvie then went after Jubilee or Maverick. He didnt just throw him. He bashed his skull against the wall which knocked him out. Re-read the issue. Red had an objective. Thats his reason for his being there in the first place. He knocked Wolvie out, then continued to procede with the objective.

Thanks V and King.

Respect goes a long way on this forum. Some people know how to debate accordingly and others dont. I dont let it bother me.

Also don't forget he was wearing a version of Mac's guardian armor at the time as well.

Anyone has scan of Wolverine Origins issue 6 and 7?

Thanks

Whats with the eyes.

the art in it is horrible and puts me off.

haha i was thinking the same thing..

Alright... after buying the first 7 issues, I dropped this series.

I couldn't live thinking that it would get better and then being constantly let down.

Such a sad day...

Yeah I dropped it before Omega Red appeared, just wasn't great to keep my attention and my money.

Okay I kind of let this series slip a little due to how bad it actually is...but according to the synopsis of Wolverine Origin #10.

Wolverines son makes his debut and a beloved character(Jubilee I guess) will die.

I may pick this one up after all.

saw a pick on another site. It looks like Dum dum dugan gets two claws through his chest

liked that character a hell of lot more then that crappy ex mutant.

I just wanna know why the hell arent they keeping up witgh Omega Red? The only reason im even buying it is because of him. Just off the cover, i thought there was gonna be some sort of 3 way between Wolvie, Red and Sabes. In #10, if they dont show/explain what Red is up to, im gonna drop it till they do. Bah!

Got Issue #26, The new art from Stephen Segovia is different its allright.

So i just read wolverine origins #32

so is Daken this Romulus person or was he just messing around with Cyber's head?

No, he isn't. He wants to get rid of Romulus and become his successor.
