Wolverine: Origins #1
This volume kicks off the Wolverine: Origins series, delving into Logan's murky past as he uncovers secrets from his pre-Wolverine life. Collecting the first arc, it pits him against figures like Nuke and Sabretooth while introducing Daken, the son he never knew he had, setting the stage for a brutal exploration of legacy and violence.
In "Born in Blood Part One," Wolverine faces a chilling reckoning as he prepares to confront Nuke, his memories flashing back to a brutal mission in Vietnam where his actions set a super soldier on a path of destruction. The government now knows about the Muramsa Blade—a weapon capable of slicing through matter on a molecular level—placing Wolverine at the center of a deadly pursuit. Written by Daniel Way and brought to life with gritty precision by Steve Dillon, with colors by Dan Kemp and letters by Randy Gentile, this pivotal issue sets the stage with a haunting look at the past that continues to shape the present. The cover, a striking portrait by Joe Quesada, captures the weight of that legacy.
In "Born in Blood Part One," Wolverine breaches the White House to confront Secretary of State Condaleeza Rice about her knowledge of his past, only to be ambushed by a Shiva robot. As the government prepares to send Nuke after him, the hunt for answers turns deadly.
In "Born in Blood Part Two," Wolverine's past collides with his present as he recalls a harrowing mission in Vietnam that left deep scars—both physical and moral. With the government closing in, hunting the Muramsa Blade for its power to cut through matter at a molecular level, Wolverine must confront the ghosts of his past, including the enigmatic Dr. Redford and the volatile Trevor, whose actions may have set the stage for the violence to come.
In the climactic chapter of "Born in Blood Conclusion," Wolverine faces a harrowing confrontation that forces him to confront the truth about his past and the fate of his son—now in the grip of those who have long shaped his memories. With the weight of legacy and fatherhood on his shoulders, he makes a desperate choice that could change everything.
