Wolverine: Origins #29

In "Original Sin Part III of V," Wolverine pushes deeper into the Hellfire Club’s inner sanctum, where the tension between him and Xavier reaches a breaking point—both men begin to suspect that Sebastian Shaw has orchestrated the entire confrontation. As they prepare to face Shaw and rescue Daken, a long-buried truth surfaces: when Wolverine first joined the X-Men, he was meant to kill Xavier on Romulus’s orders, but Xavier instead rewired his mind to ensure his loyalty. Written by Daniel Way and illustrated with sharp intensity by Mike Deodato Jr., this issue deepens the mystery of Wolverine’s past with a revelation that reshapes everything. The cover by Mike Deodato Jr. captures the moment’s grim weight in stark, powerful lines.
