obviously, I just saw the origins movie and now want to read the comics.
who knew comics were so goddamn confusing.. seriously.

where do i start? what are the comics called that that film was based on? i've had a look on here and other places but i just can't make sense of it all.
shall i read just general X-Men first?

..help please?

uh well the movie isn't based off comics exactly, it's more an adaptation of his origins story.

You'd be best off reading Origin I think thats the most current comic book version of his past pretty well.

Current X-Men issues won't delve very deep into Logan's past or his life.

is there just one lot/version/run/whatever you call them of Wolverine: Origins? also, where would i buy them from?

yeah, i went with a X-Men fanatic that just wouldn't explain it to me, was like "oh, it's like all of them.. like put together.. you won't understand.. don't worry"

Well every writer has their own take on things right..

the Origin volume is here but there have been loads of beginning stories over the years.

Edit: I got the names confused with the ongoing series named Wolverine: Origins. thats here and is mildly related. I recommend the first one though

okay, thank you!
i think i'll go have a look then maybe start posting here before i make myself look like a fool.

anyway, thanks again.

lol you won't look like a fool by not having read many comics. Only people who look foolish here are people who think their fav. character is invincible.
and my pleasure :)

It's a better version to the movie imo. It's a bit more open to interpretation regarding Sabertooth.

I'd read Wolverine Weapon X. It's the story of how he got the Adamatium through out his skeleton.  It's a very good and involved read. If you want more Origin type action look for early life issues of Omega Red. They are a harder find but they might be out more due to the movie. Wraith, Creed, (Silver at times) and Zero (As Maverick) has a lot to due with that time era. 

ya me 2.ive just started reading wolverine weapon x and its amazing and a good take on the whole weapon x thing

I suggest going to your local Comic shop and asking for TPB (Trade Paper Back) of  "Weapon X" and "Wolverine: Origin" Also I have found that THIS SITE (Comic Vine) has the most thurough outline of Wolverine's true Comic story:  http://www.comicvine.com/wolverine/29-1440/

Welcome to Comic Vine. :)

Everyone was nice to me when I first joined so I try to be nice to new people so they'll have the same experience ;)

IE SMASH!

Go team!

wait... I'm the girl? weird

Actually I was kind of thinking they were placeholders for you and babs. Go team like go mod team I mean... I couldn't really find a 3 way high five so I thought I'd just step out of frame kinda. But um you could be the girl if you wanted to..

Meanwhile, back at the ranch...welcome to the Vine! For further reads into Wolverine, you can also check out his adventures with other heroes, like early issues of Ms Marvel, which touches on when they were in the army. Actually, as mentioned above, the Vine is a good resource as a directory. For some important historical reads, check out Wolverine #10 (1989), Wolverine #113 (1997), Logan: Path of the Warlord (1996), Logan: Shadow Society (1996). Or, go here for all of what you need. On the bottom right is a list of relevant books. It's all good.
