Wolverine

Character » Wolverine appears in 9114 issues.

A long-lived mutant with the rage of a beast and the soul of a Samurai, James "Logan" Howlett's past is filled with blood, war, and betrayal. Possessing an accelerated healing factor, enhanced senses, and bone claws that, along with his skeleton, are coated in adamantium, Wolverine is the ultimate weapon.

Good Wolverine stories??

If you haven't read this yet :

then you are missing out on my favorite Wolverine story of all time. It's the same creative team that brought us Kick-Ass and of course Mark Millar can do no wrong and John Romita Jr's art looks great in this (which hasn't necessarily been the case of late.) It has a perfect blend of action and character-driven plot elements and shows Wolverine at his best (at what he does...)

For more recent reading, I would suggest Jason Aaron's run. The second arc of which (Wolverine vs. The X-Men) has a lot of similarities to Enemy of the State, (chiefly of course that Wolverine is brainwashed and goes on a rampage.)

Any of the stories where he's in Japan or his 'Patch' episodes in Madripoor, I favored those in particular. Unfortunately I have not read them in so long I cannot say their story titles off my head at this moment (After doing a quick search engine check, one of them seems to be called 'THE GOOD GUY', from Marvel Comics Presents #1).

Witness the transformation of sickly James Howlett into the battle-hardened Logan, and then into the metal-clawed super hero called Wolverine! Experience Logan's struggles to learn the ways of honor, control his bestial nature, and deal with a litany of friends and foes from his checkered past! Thrill to his near-fatal encounter with Magneto! And be there as Wolverine takes on the responsibility of mentoring the next generation - and opens a school! Collecting ORIGIN #1-6; material from MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS (1988) #72-84; UNCANNY X-MEN (1963) #162, #205 and #268; WOLVERINE (1982) #1-4; WOLVERINE (1988) #75 and #119-122; WOLVERINE (2003) #32; and WOLVERINE & THE X-MEN #1-3.

I actually have Kitty Pryde and Wolverine on my comic stacks from the library, so I'll definitely try to read that book!

Old Man Logan is one of my favorite Wolverine stories.

Does anyone know if Netsuke and Snikt! are good reads? I love the cover art but none of these 2 titles has any rating or review on CV yet. Besides, can anybody recommend any Wolverine one-shots and maybe What If stories. Thanks in advance.

I really liked Wolverine and Jubilee. I forget who it was by. Also the Classic Wolverine series by Chris Claremont is essential if you love the chracter. My personal favorite is Old Man Logan by Mark Millar. Thats such a goddamn dark story, but its good.

Wolverine, Dying Game

Fatal Attractions, the Uncanny X-Men issue and Wolverine series in the early 1990's

Original Sin, Wolverine Origins

Sex and Violence, X-Force

Blockbuster, Ultimate X-Men

X-Men , Mutant Genesis, from, the 1990's

At the moment Savage Wolverine is pretty good.
