The dialog to this comic is okay but what really killed it is the art! Why does Dillon keep getting work!? It looks like basic work. No distingushing features, no details, no intricate backgrounds. Everybody Looks the same! It looks like Dillon picked up a 'How to Draw' book a week before he began to draw. I like Wolverine and all the comics he's in but Dillon just put me off to the whole series. I would have kept reading if they got another artist but it doesnt look like they are going to replace the guy who can't draw

The Origins:series is based off of the idea that Wolverine has remembered all of his past, which is a great concept. I think the storyline moves a little slow to get to the point and the art is very lackluster and subpar. I feel like I am watching Saturday morning cartoons from the 90's that really really suck and went cheap on the budget. Also they probably could have narrowed down the length to get to the point instead of draggin on the end. If you decide to continue on with the series after this it is much of the same with more questions. I say borrow a friends copy to read but keeping it is just not worth the effort or cost. I think I read it in 15 minutes which is pretty pathetic for a trade.

Overall:Awesome cover art, poor interior art and ok dialog and narrative. It makes me wish that they would just start reprinting the Wolverine: Originals from 'Marvel Presents'. Apparently those days of great art inside and out and amazing story telling are gone for this series. Too bad.

everyone is entitled to their own opinion, so, this is in no way hostile to other reviewers. I used to read comics as a kid, especially wolverine, and now i'm in my 30's and back into them big time. i stumbled into the best comic store in richmond, va and was blown away by the art and the intellegent story lines of todays comics. Since then i have gotten a lot of the newer wolverine graphic novels. i was really not into anything about these origins books or the art, to be honest..for some reason i thought it looked like cheap and generic or something. Then i found that i really like the artwork 'dillon' does for the current jason aaron punisher run, which made me more interested in checking out daniel way's origins. i finally got origins 1 and now i'm hooked. Reviews do help when looking to find something worth while, but, in the end, everybody has their own taste and opinion so don't look over something to quick that you might like.

This is an amazing series and if you like marvel or just Wolverine it is definitely worth reading.

I'm following up with this review right after I did the one for Wolverine Origins, Volume One. This one is great, if not better than the first. Not only do we get one of my personal favorite villains here in Omega Red, but there is an added bonus as well. This would be the untold early origin or Natasha Romanov embedded within part of Logan's own origin. Keep up the great work guys. Peace and Love, Jake
