  While I wouldn’t recommend you rush out any buy this book, it is definitely worth flicking through in the store and seeing if it takes your fancy. Kudos too to Chris Yost for managing the seemingly impossible task of doing Wolverine’s long history justice in just one issue! Read Full Review

  This was a good film, with some problems. It had plenty of action, as well as emotion, and was brilliantly cast. It also perfectly adapted some of the key parts of Wolverine's history, as well as add on top of that. This was still however nothing amazing, as it lacked in overall structure, and ruined Deadpool. I would however still recommend at least seeing this film once, as it's definitely worth a try, as you're bound to like it to a certain extent (just don;t expect to necessarily love it).

  Addendum: Since writing this review, it has been brought to my attention that one of Marvel's "Free Comic Book Day" offerings this year is to be an issue entitled Wolverine: Origin Of An X-Man, making this regularly priced issue feel even more redundant. Read Full Review

  As much as I've bashed the book, I didn't absolutely hate it, so I'm giving it a C-. It's a passing grade, but not one that any student with any sense of self-respect should be proud of. It was a decent, if misleading read that didn't ruin my day or hurt my feelings. It wasn't the worst book I've ever read in my life, but it was definitely the worst book I've read this week. The bottom line: don't waste your time. Read Full Review
