Wolverine Origins #6 - Marvel


As I said last issue, I can't praise enough this team of Daniel Way and Steve Dillon. They are just doing a bang-up job with this book. Since we're going back in to Wolvie's past, we get to see a lot of Weapon X. This issue we go all the way back to 1963. This is where they figure out what affect Carbonadium has on him and his healing factor. Yes that's the same metal that Omega Red is made out of. He's been cut by the Muramasa Blade and "it ain't healin' like normal. Well . . . . normal for me." So in trying to find the answer he has to go to Queens, 'cause I don't know any other reason why he'd chose to go there, and find Maverick. In doing so he also reunites, ever so briefly, with Jubilee. Briefly because no sooner than they see each other, here comes Omega Red bustin' throught the wall. Like I said, what's nice about this series is that we aren't really dealing with the James Howlett part of his history, but more often than not, with Weapon X and SHIELD. I'm sure we'll see some of the James stuff, before he was actually refered to as Logan or Wolverine. But, probably not in this storyline. And we're still doing alternate covers of every issue, so that's cool too.
