Could there be anything more tiresome than yet another revision to Wolverine's history? Yes, there can be. Yet another Wolverine ripoff character. There have been many attempts at writing/rewriting his history and several attempts at creating characters that can be used to make more Wolverine-ish stories (X-23!), so now Wolverine apparently has a son with the seemingly same powers and seemingly same memory problems and seemingly same berserker rage - but wait! There's a difference! Now, he's a bad guy! to me, this is just a little lazy. It's basically Wolverine all over again. In fact, Wolverine goes to Professor X to try to do the same brainwashing on Daken that Professor X did on Wolverine back in the day, in yet another revision to his past.

The only reason I'm giving this lazy story anything more than 1 star is because the parts around the story are well written and the ending actually didn't go where I thought it was going to go, even though it still ended up paralleling Wolverine's own story a little bit too much. ( )

One of these days I'm just going to stop reading you, superhero comics. Unless you can make me feel again. ( )

I'd sworn that I'd given up on Wolverine: Origins, but after being thoroughly impressed with the character of Daken in Dark Reign, I had to go back and give the series another try.

I'm still not a fan of Daniel Way's, and I don't think that I ever will be. But I thought that this story arc was better than most of his other stuff that I've read so far. Maybe the fact that Mike Carey wrote half of the issues contained in this trade helped. The art was decent.

If you haven't been following Wolverine: Origins and the goings-on in the X-Men world, then this will probably be rather confusing. It really builds upon the events during and shortly after Messiah CompleX. ( )
