SYNOPSIS
Wolverine is the best there is at what he
does - although of course, what he does isn’t very nice. But long
before he was a member of the X-Men, a tormented experiment of the
Weapon-X project, or even a savage bar brawler known
as Logan – he was simply a young boy.
What incredible forces created this man,
the world’s greatest killing machine? For years, Wolverine has searched
desperately for answers from his past, from the wilds of the Canadian
Wilderness to the teeming cities of Japan and
beyond. And despite his perseverance and longing for the truth, he
remains an enigma to himself and those around him. But, in this landmark
event, Marvel reveals all: the birth and childhood of young James
Howlett…the intriguing secrets of his family history…and
the tragedy that changed everything.
Welcome to the greatest story never told.
Bonus Features Include:
An exclusive retrospective with the Eisner Award-Winning creative team behind Origin.
Total Feature Running Time: +/- 66 minutes
