Wolverine Origins #5 - Marvel

This is really turning out to be a good book. And not just because of the Joe Quesada alternate covers either. I really like the direction of this book. Especially in the fact that in searching the origin of Wolverine, considering that he's been around for so long, that he has come into contact with other characters in the Marvel Universe in ways that we haven't even considered. Especially considering the encounters that would've occured early on in different peoples stages of development. Such as Nuke. But through all this, he always seems to come home to the X-men as his family. We get to see a glimpse of Sabretooth this issue also. Not much. But with their history, I'm sure there will be plenty of stories about him in the future. I also like the way when Wolvie gave Cyclops the bloodsword, "the only weapon that will be able to take him down should he need to", is kinda' reminiscent of when Superman gave Batman the Kryptonite ring should he need it in the future. Different, but similar. Daniel Way seems to really have a grasp on this character and on the direction of this book. I really like the way he developed the interaction between Wolvie and Cap, Cyclops, Emma and Hellion. Very believable. Steve Dillon has also really seemed to have found his groove here. I like what he's done so far.
