    Is this going to just be a mini-series?

    No, it’s an on-going series.

    @robbydzwonar: As I understand it, it’s supposed to take over Wolverine in the same way Invincible Iron Man took over as the Iron Man book. The regular Wolverine book is becoming a Dark Wolverine book, anyway. 

    But I’m not entirely sure…

    Well atleast they are giving someone other than Daniel Way a shot at the character in an ongoing. Looks like he took over both Wolverine and Wolverine Origins. At this point is it basically the same crappy book?

    Between this book and Invincible Iron Man, Marvel is doing a nice job of capitalizing on their movies.

    I hope this is 3.99 because It’s the first issue.  I don’t want to read an ongoing that $3.99.

    The second issue is also $4 and has no extras. Pass.

    by the end of the year, everything’s probably gonna be $4.  time to start dealing with it

    @cutty

    I don’t think so. I think there’s going to be other changes but a universal $4 price for the same product is unlikely. DH is still publishing books with no ads, in higher quality for $3. DC seems to have found it’s justification for $4 by having ongoing backup series. Image seems to have found their sweet spot at $3.50. So has Marvel’s Icon line. $3.50 is the new price, the extra 50 cents you pay for being a Marvel Zombie.

    You know what I noticed with the preview to this issue? Wolverine is extremely environmentally friendly. Motorcycle instead of a car, and now he’s taking BART! Good for him.

    As much as I loved Aaron’s first attempt at writing Wolverine; this is trade waiting for me.

    Wow is Marvel milking this character for all it’s worth. I’m sure it won’t backfire on them at all.

    @jobob Milking, or just writing stories about the most popular character in the X-Men universe?

    Stolen from a post at QT3:

    Finally, Marvel has heard our pleas and is making an effort to recognize their more obscure properties, like Wolverine. 

    I actually had an idea for a bloggy-gimmick thing, but don’t have the time or money to pull it off: Just document what Wolverine is doing in a given week. Off the top of my head, he’s the star or on the team in:

    Wolverine
    Wolverine: Origins
    Wolverine: Weapon X
    New Avengers
    X-Men
    Uncanny X-Men
    Astonishing X-Men
    X-Force
    Ultimate X-Men (though that’s "over", I guess)
    X-Men: First Class (is there also a "Wolverine: First Class", or am I making that up?)

    Plus a mini-series or three and one-shots and whatever I’m forgetting.

    It’d probably be too much work to even keep up with that, but you could still get some milage out of a simpler idea, like a running tally of how many people Wolverine kills every week. 

    Some of it can be blamed on the upcoming movie (as well as Deadpool’s sudden ubiquity), but for the most part, this is just S.O.P. at Marvel. Wolverine, wall to wall, every week.

    Wolverine has been this ubiquitous for at least 15 years.  This is nothing new.

    So Wolverine is going up against a new threat known as Roxxon I just hope he’ll get a chance to encounter some of his villains such as Sabretooth and Omega Red or maybe even Lady Deathstrike but though I’am considering of buying this comic book when it releases.

    Wow, the story sounds really good. I wish I was as patient as the trade waiters, but this book is making me break my jihad against $3.99 regular sized comics.

    Hmmm I would get this book if it wasn’t 3.99. Oh well maybe the trade will be better… But i can live without this.

    Jason Aaron is such a deft and creative writer, and I love the energy and power in Garney’s pencils.  I’ve been luke warm with much of the Wolverine content out there these days, but I’m really looking forward to reading this series just to see what kind of crazy spin Aaron will throw my way.

    "Wolverine
    Wolverine: Origins
    Wolverine: Weapon X
    New Avengers
    X-Men
    Uncanny X-Men
    Astonishing X-Men
    X-Force
    Ultimate X-Men (though that’s "over", I guess)
    X-Men: First Class (is there also a "Wolverine: First Class", or am I making that up?)"

    4 of these titles are out of continuity.  Ultimate, First Class, First Class Wolvie, and Wolverine: Old Man Logan

    2 of these, Uncanny and X-Men, when I read them in the past, he was never in them.  (Don’t know if it changed)

    1 of these, Wolverine, will now star his son, not him.

    And Astonishing X-Men happens in between the others and happens veerrry slowly.

    You forgot Ultimate Wolverine Vs. Hulk, which is awesome, is Ultimate continuity, and comes out veeery slowly, though now quickly.

    I don’t see what’s to complain about.  It all makes sense.  You’re mostly complaining about different continuities.

    Solid 3-star book. I thought the writing deserved more than that, but the art just wasn’t my style. Still, I liked it and I’ll support near anything Jason Aaron writes as long as it stays consistently good. Not a POW contender, but I’m glad I read it.

  30. Avatar photo captbastrd says:

    I liked it. I mean, I mock that he’s used so frequently, but that’s because he’s a great character. I’m gonna keep reading this, I’m gonna keep reading Old Man Logan, I’m no longer touching Wolvie Origins w/o Steve Dillon (though I didn’t hate it even then), and I’m gonna leaf through and consider getting any other of the millions of one shots where the pitch probably only had to be, "It’s Wolverine… in Brazil/Chinatown/anywhere else off the beaten path where it’s so easy to give him past history!" Add Jason Aaron and we’re all set!

    What were the 8 pages of director cut extras? I flipped through this at my LCS and all I saw was a bunch of bios and a 6 page preview of Ghost Rider. I think I am going to wait for the trade even though it pains me because it’s Aaron.

    Is it just me or did pretty much nothing happen in this issue.  I finished the book in five minutes and was  thinking, “where did my $3.99 go?”  I’m still in for #2 because I want to see what Jason Aaron does with Wolverine, but overall a rather unexciting first issue.

    This comic book is really hard to find try asking the Sandman to help you dream of how in the hell are you gonna get a chance to buy this comic book I think this X-Men Origins: Wolverine is really a smash hit when it releases to Movie Houses this coming Month.

    Yeah I enjoyed this but it went by WAY too quickly. It will be a great jum,ping on point for new readers who want to see what Wolverine is about after the movie, but other than that it kind of felt like all filler no killer.

    I just picked up the first and liked it. The art is how like wolverine to look. the story was good but the end makes me think the 2nd book is going to be the story going downhill. Still debating if I will pick up or not.
