Wolverine: Origins #1
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.
