Wolverine has gotten his memories back and he's out for revenge. Turns out Wolvie was manipulated into doing same pretty heinous things back in the day. I like the changes Way made in Nuke's origins as well. Plus, we get a bad ass fight with Captain America and some of the X-Men. Logan and Cap both use some cool tactics. It's more than just your typical superhero donnybrook. The book also has one hell of a revelation. Steve Dillon's art was made for gritty books like Wolverine. It's really top notch stuff.

Wolverine gets his memory back and decides to get his revenge on his former handlers who made him perform a series of heinous deeds many years ago. But a direct attack on the White House by mysterious forces coincides with a visit by Wolverine, implicating him in the terrorist incident. The President orders they send Frank Simpson aka Nuke after Wolverine to take him out once and for all.
I’ve read Daniel Way’s “Wolverine Origins” series in a pretty haphazard order, picking up volumes whenever I see them rather than reading them in order, so I’m actually finishing the series with the first book! So I know all about the revelations that follow, etc etc but “Born in Blood” is still a pretty damn good read.
We find out just how much of a bastard Logan’s been in the past - and he’s a pretty mean git at the best of times! - and some of the things he does in the ‘60s is really dark. And for those who enjoyed “Daredevil: Born Again”, Nuke returns with some updates to fight Logan with and Way gives him a pretty nasty backstory on how he came to be the brainwashed killing machine he is.
Steve Dillon’s art is fantastic as ever and there’s a pretty decent superhero fight at the end which isn’t just mutant powers zapping to and fro but has some interesting tactical moves between Wolverine and... well I won’t spoil it. But Way’s put some thought into it rather than just have the supes bash one another mindlessly.
As for the rest of the series, the best stuff happens in the first five books but the rest of the series isn’t bad either and is worth reading if you’re a Wolverine fan. “Born in Blood” is an excellent beginning and has plenty of blood and violence to stay true to the (black) soul of the character. Good stuff.

Wolverine remembers who his past and that's bad news for the people who made him into an animal.
Born in Blood is the start of a series I imagine will continually be one part mystery one part melee, because I mean it's Wolverine there has to be some melee. To wake up one day remembering every evil deed you were made to commit because someone else was controlling you would make anyone surly, but Wolverine decides to get revenge by destroying the organization that made him.
The first volume of Wolverine Origins wasn't especially deep, but it did reveal a huge secret in an overly random way. I've had this volume for years and I'm looking forward to finally continuing the series.

I'm delving deep into Wolverine's origin stories and finding some dark places in his past. Wolverine has done plenty of his share of dirty deeds, and he has his share of regret. He wants to make things right. He created a killer for the US government, and realized that it wasn't too different from the forces that shaped him.
It was really dark seeing what Wolverine did in this part of his past, and the repercussions. I think that this tragic and dark past is part and parcel of what makes him the unique hero that he is, so I find that reading this saddens me, but it also makes me understand why the Wolverine of the present is so determined to fight for justice in his own way.
Not for the faint of the heart, but integral to the story of Wolverine. Some pretty cool cameos by others in the Marvel Universe.
Overall rating: 3.5/5.0 stars.

Wolvie got his memory back and he remembers all he did during his long life, some being downright nasty. If he can't change the past Logan wants at least to make sure he gets revenge before going to Hell or wherever he's supposed to go.
Boy, there's gonna be blood for sure.
This first volume gets Frank Simpson- the Nuke of Daredevil's "Born again" fame- back into play and reveals bits of his past and what made him what he is now. His inclusion in a greater plot is quite a smart move.
The pacing is very good, tension all the way through and the plot promises lots of (good) stuff for the future.
Last but not least Daniel Way got Logan's voice.
I'm confident the next volumes will hold great moments.
My only complaint would be Steve Dillon. I've never been much of a fan of his style, distinctive but a bit too static in my opinion so not exactly suited for an action-oriented title. The flashy colors kind of hurt my eyes too.

Wolverine: Origins volume 1 - Born in Blood. After doing my Iron Man revisit recently, and rewatching the X-Men films I felt it was a good opportunity to revisit Wolverine. Before Iron Man, Wolverine was my favourite Marvel character. This was also the first Wolverine graphic novel I read, although I had read random comics here and there.
This story introduces a new status quo for the character of Wolverine. He has regained his memories. This means he is out for revenge and blood for all the people who have wronged him. There are definitely some parts here that helped influence the X-Men Origins: Wolverine film.
Born in Blood is a darker Marvel story. We get to see some of the characters past and what he has done. He is certainly not an upstanding hero. In this volume we see the hand he had in creating the character of Nuke.
We do have appearances from characters across Marvel, including S.H.I.E.L.D., Captain America, and probably unsurprisingly the X-Men. There are some decent action moments peppered throughout.
With this being the first volume, the main story is just starting. There are plenty of plot threads left hanging for the next instalments. I would say this doesn’t work well as a standalone, but it is a good jumping on point for the character. You don’t really need any prior knowledge of the character. If you are familiar with Wolverine from the films, I would say this take is slightly darker than what you are used to.
The artwork is good throughout. Not a hyper detailed and realistic style. But not overly old school pop art. It finds a happy medium and makes good use of colour.

As wolverine is on the hunt for those who destroyed his life, he starts remembering thigs. But the people he is hunting won't leave him alone and so we have them sent Nuke after him and we get the origin of this guy and how Logan was involved in it and all that. Then Captain America comes in and its a fun clash between SWORD and SHIELD. Plus the coming of Emma's Hellions makes the battle so very brutal. As we learn of Logan's other wife Silver Fox and the people he is hunting ..how they messed her up and then him and now they have control of his son..Daken!
This is a big one and is quite dark and has some great battle and even big revelations showing that there is more to the life of Logan than we know and the addition of his son makes things quite spicy in a way and I am loving the slow reveals and surprise characters and how Logan fights them. His head atm..his thought process and all..its focused on revenge and he is fighting everyone and the writer relishes in writing those scenes and I am here for it plus the art is savage and brutal, the perfect addendum for this book!

This picks up right after Wolverine finally gets his memories back. I personally liked it better when we didn't know his origin, but that's just me. Now Wolverine is tracking down the people who used him as a weapon in order to get his revenge. However, he finds Nuke and Captain America in his way, and finally the X-Men show up.
We get some background info on Nuke, and see Wolverine in Viet Nam. This whole series involves a lot of retconning, which I am not a fan of, but maybe the stories will be interesting at least. This volume also features some art from the late but great Steve Dillon. I don't think Wolverine is the type of story that fits his art best, but his art is good anywhere, really.
Interested to see where the story goes from here.

Big fan of Wolverine from way back. But this origin story line did nothing for me. I don't like these conspiracy stories that are layers on layers. Especially as this story sets up the heads of the conspiracy as so evil that they deserve to die. Too many genocides throughout history have used this type of thinking to justify their actions. There doesn't seem to be any lessons to learn about these evil men, no examination how society can produce these states, or moral implications. Just an easy way to set up villains you don't feel bad about when the 'hero' kills them. It just left the storyline emotionally and morally empty.

This was my 2nd time reading this (Oct 19 2013). I enjoyed it more this time I think. The art is very good with the style they're going for. Wolverine is on a mission, and no one is getting in his way; not S.H.I.E.L.D, nor the big man who carries THE Shield...
We get flashbacks to things he's done in the past, and they're pretty nasty, so born in blood makes perfect sense, because Wolverine was born in blood, and so too was someone else who will arrive on the scene in this series...literally.
I also love who the one person is that Logan trusts to safeguard the weapon that can put him down...it is perfect really.
Good solid read, great start to a series.

The cliffhangers are, sadly, quite annoying with the story bringing in too many characters out of thin air. The battles are visceral enough, with just the right amount of over-the-top... -ness to suggest super-powered individuals and the dialogue and preparations do a good job of drawing you in. Still, the slug-fest between characters from multiple series seems to want to cash in on their popularity by pitting them against one another in a way that feels artificial.
Logan has recovered his memories and has the Muramasa blade. He has begun a personal mission that begins at the White House and aims to wreak vengeance on the people who made him into weapon.

After so much time of not truly knowing his past, Logan is suddenly thrown into his truest memories thanks to Wanda Maximoff's mental breakdown that creates the alternate reality of the House of M story arc. While everyone except for a select few thinks that their reality is true, Wolverine finally understands where he came from. Unfortunately, it's not a very good truth to know. Altered by the government to become a weapon, Wolverine performed some pretty heinous acts that we only just start to learn about in the this first volume.
Psychologically and mentally exhausted, Logan struggles to exact revenge on the people who altered him and sent him down a path he never would have chosen on his own. Some little known characters, along with some larger names such as Captain America, Emma Frost, and Cyclops grace these pages and some epic fight scenes unfold while Wolverine travels around always staying just out of the grips of the government that wants to keep him under wraps.
I'm eliminating one star from this because I'm not too crazy about how circular and vague the first installment is, and there was very little of note that I took away from this with the exception of the fight scenes. I'm curious to see how this unfolds differently from the movie that was put out several years earlier, and the other elements of Wolvie's past that might have been skipped or altered.

Wolverine remembers everything. Continuing his mission of revenge and solving the puzzle of his past. Infiltrates the white house, to get answers from a suspected mole of the organizing he is tracking, And the appearance of a Shiva robot confirms this. When the U.S. sends in Nuke to take down wolverine, The history of wolverines part in the origin of Nuke is revealed. The U.S. sends another soldier, and Wolverine's friends arrive to take him down, or calm him down. With some information that will change what he knows forever. . Or what he just learned last tpb.
Steve Dillion's art sticks out right away. But it just let me know this is going to be serious business, realistic and gritty.
His art from Preacher and Punisher is unforgettable. So I don't think I'll mind it here.
Picking up this story .. Each issue month by month, just didn't offer much. Reading it as a whole, its a story of conspiracy and manipulation. Same neo noir style from origins and endings. With no end to the mystery. A good beginning to an overall story that will continue.

Born in Blood (1-5). Wolverine: Origins & Endings, the beginning of the Wolverine: Origins epic was pretty incoherent. Now, given the whole Wolverine: Origins series to spread out over, Way is able to tell a somewhat more cohesive story. Oh, it's still very muddy and still doesn't explain itself, but this time it feels more like Way knows what he's doing.
And, there's a lot to like here, including great use of Nuke, and the first hints that the Weapon X program and the super-soldier program have something in common. Finally, we get the first confirmation that Logan has a son. A lot of this is setup for what follows, but it's nice setup.
On the downside, Captain America feels pretty out of character, and Steve Dillon's art is as ugly as ever. [4/5]

Wolverine has his memories back...mostly. Apparently, Weapon X's program is not over, and its conspiracy is much wider than initially thought. The book opens with Wolverine musing that he thought he was the best he was, but he's not. What he means is that he's worse...your worse nightmare...bad to the bone. He's even drawn in this book with red eyes. The books proceed with a series of versus fights that are meant to demonstrate that our Wolvie is dangerous like never before, but the arc ends with the revelation that "They" are holding a trump card putting him in check. He won't be able to kill his way through this problem. He'll need to head the other way, a harder way, & seek redemption.
Note: Contains a flashback to his induction into the Weapon X program & the death of Silver Fox, which appears in the Origins film (the one that horribly mishandled Deadpool).

I have not visit Logan in a while ( not counting all the other books he is in), was a big fan of the man who was the best at what he does. I am in the group of keep him mysterious, keep him in the dark. This character does not need an origin in the comic book sense. Because you can not live up to the years and years of build up. While the story is really fine and the art flowed well. Now that we now know, there is no really pulling for Logan anymore, he is a out and out villain who is forever doom. This is like we were so happy when Darth Vader return to the jedi way at the end of Star Wars 6, only show him killing a bunch of kids in the prequels. I am not happy for any character who does not face his consequences. But Logan is sad about his past and trying to fix past mistakes. I like the Old Man Logan way just go live out there somewhere and leave me alone.
February 11, 2012
Upon a second read, I can't say I love this book, but I certainly like what it's trying to do. The Wolverine in this book is a little different from the "classical" Wolverine, which I guess can be seen as poor writing or just an attempt to finally change the character (who, let's be honest, has gotten a little stagnant over the last 30 years.) Invariably, it has a solid story with definite potential, actual character moments for Wolverine, and an interesting style using lots of flashbacks.

Pretty cool. A little confusing because they keep jumping to different years and locations. I didn't realize that Wolverine was so warped.

Continuing the great X-read of 2017 that has now stretched into 2018...
Okay. So I am way behind on reviewing these x-books that I have been reading. So I am going to just kind of ramble about all of them and copy/paste my thoughts. Which will make for a bit of a mess and I am sorry. Quick ramblings:
Cable and Deadpool continues to be surprisingly good though a little more scattered in these couple of volumes.
X-Men the Blood of Apocalypse was rushed in my opinion...
Phoenix Warsong was pretty decent. Melodramatic but not a bad story. (and when is a Phoenix story not melodramatic?)
New X-Men is a good series with some great characters that grow volume by volume.
Uncanny First Foursaken was not my cup of tea really.
Black Panther: The Bride was probably much better to BP readers. As part of an X-Men run, it can probably be skipped.
Wolverine Origins born in blood was not particularly memorable.
Astonishing X-Men will possibly get its own review as it is a reread and interesting as such...
Civil War was one of the first times in my life that I could say that the movie was better than the book. For the most part, it was really boring to me. The X-Men universe tie-ins were only slightly more interesting to me.
X-factor continues to be a delight.
Exiles continues to be great.
I need to get back to writing reviews of these as I finish them. Reading them in quick succession like this, I begin to forget what happened in individual books (which I suppose equally speaks to the books themselves and my memory...)

Kolejny poprawny Wolverine, nastawiony bardziej na akcję, niestety też wpisujący się w kontekst: "To już było". Kolejna wojenna wyprawa Wolverine'a, która ma za zadanie odegrać się na tych, którzy go skrzywdzili, choć trzeba przyznać, że coś od siebie daje.
Wolverine pamięta. Pamięta to co robił, do czego go zmuszano i co mu zrobiono. Czas się odegrać na wszelkich wrogach. Niestety jego samowolka zostaje zauważona przez najwyższe władze. SHIELD robi wszystko co może, ale sprawa dociera do gabinetu prezydenta, gdzie najwyższa władza daje pozwolenie na użycie siły. Tak do gry dochodzi niejaki Nuke.
Postać z flagą Ameryki na facjacie, ma szerzyć demokrację w imieniu swojego suwerena, zazwyczaj za pomocą ostrej amunicji. Konfrontacja z Loganem będzie okazją do lekkich powrotów myślami do przeszłości bohatera, która okazuje się być połączona z antagonistą, którego mamy tu nawet origin. A do tego dołóżmy Kapitana Amerykę, specjalny miecz samurajski, Emmę Frost i paru innych mutantów. Oraz pewną petardę, która wywróci życie Logana do góry nogami.
Za warstwę wizualną odpowiada Steve Dillon, który swoją toporną kreską idealnie pasuje do prowadzonej historii, która jest miejscami brudna, krwawa i mocno niepoprawne politycznie. Mimo to całość ze sobą gra, chociaż w pierwszej części tego zbioru czuć wyraźnie schematy fabularne. Niemniej kolejny udany Rosomak.

A solid Wolverine story to be sure. I can't say I'd recommend before plenty of others. I did read it quite rapidly though, so it definitely had a good grip on me. I think part of the reason I'm lukewarm on it is because of how Way has Wolverine doing some truly awful crap to Nuke decades earlier with no reckoning. We can assume Logan was brainwashed during this period, but it's never explored or explained in any significant way. By the time Cap shows up, Nuke is an afterthought and he's barely a factor despite all the build-up he's given. I also wasn't high on the art by Steve Dillon. His Wolverine looks like a lazy clone of his Punisher with the wrong-coloured eyes (Wolverine's are blue, not brown). I'll continue to read Way's run though since I have enjoyed a few other issues from later on.

Uhhhh... Not so great
Great artist that shouldn't draw wolverine Comics. The story feels like it was written by someone that isn't a fan but needed a paycheck. Wolverine's role in creating nuke is ridiculous... That's not who he is. He may be a killer but not an agent of evil that can reprogram a kid.... Anyway, as a fan I had to give it a go. On to volume two, I hope at least the artist changes.

i'm so fucking angry because i love wolverine and i love this arc but the art style kills me, and not in the fun good way. dillon's art was why i couldn't read preacher, either. hhhh fuck.
plot and characters otherwise get 4.5 stars (and i think other volumes or parts of this arc have different styles so that was nice? maybe i'm remembering wrong, it's been years).

Wolverine isn’t exactly likeable here, but the story moves at a clip and Steve Dillon’s art was built for books like this, where everyone’s downturned mouths and heavily lidded eyes always make them look like they’re dreaming up dark schemes.
This was well done, but a bit jarring for me after reading Wolverine in mainstream X-books … geez it was murdery. And dark. So very dark.
Let’s see how the series continues.

This was an excellent beginning of the Wolverine Origins story. I can't wait to get more into his past, although he did some terrible shit. And I never really cared for Daken or how he came to be in Wolverine's life, but for some reason I do now!

Wolverine: Origin Vol. 1
The was, not great but an o.k. book. It was a quick read, kind of boring, but still worth a read if you're A Wolverine fan. Can't wait to read the next book.

Fun revenge story, sometimes strays a little close to edgelord territory though. Will prob continue to read the series at a leisurely pace whenever I see used copies of the other volumes. I don’t think it’ll reach the highs of the original “Wolverine Origin” series
