Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing
Review: If you expected to learn how Wolverine got his admantium skeleton, his true relation to Sabretooth, the peculiarities of his mutated healing powers, his affinity for the Orient, and other pivotal pieces of Wolverine lore, don't look for it in this slow-paced dismal book. Wolvie's just another hero who is - gasp!! - brooding over his daddy's unfortunate demise. Hint to Marvel writers: Freud did write more than one paragraph in his life, maybe you should try doing the same. Equally disappointing was the notion that so healthy and robust an adult started life as a sickly teenager, as if his homestead or uncaring mother were to blame (none of which is made clear by the book). I quit reading X-Men titles around 1985, at number 189 of "The Uncanny X-Men" series. Friends tell me that I've missed a lot of revelations in the intervening years and titles. Nevertheless, to call this the definitive origin of Wolverine seems misleading.
