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
