9 Wolverine Books You Must Read Before The Movie

X-Men Origins: Wolverine opens on Friday, but a love of Hugh Jackman can only take you so far. Here're the comics you need to read before heading to the theater next weekend.

The Essential History:
Essential Hulk Vol. 5
Ignore the title - and, for that matter, most of this book (Although there are some great examples of 1970s Marvel water-treading here, and the "Counter-Earth" trilogy has to be read to be believed); all you need to know is that this collection includes Incredible Hulk #180 and 181, AKA the first appearances of Wolverine. Looking back at it now, it's interesting to see what's changed about the character (He's no longer as quippy, and the whiskers on his mask have thankfully gone), and what was already in place (He was called Weapon X all the way back then), but either way, you'll never look at the character in the same way ever again.

Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Vol. 1
From fighting the Hulk, Wolverine underwent a personality change as well as a costume change when he joined the X-Men. This great hardcover collection of the first thirty-or-so issues of the "All-New, All-Different" X-Men (ie, the ones that you know: Storm, Nightcrawler, Wolverine, Cyclops, etc.) takes you back to the days when the X-Men was part Star Trek homage, part Legion of Super-Heroes rip-off and rewriting the superhero rulebook with abandon. At the heart of it all, Wolverine starts to gain the personality that we know and love today, even if his age seems to shift around a lot in the process. And the less said about his off-duty cowboy look, the better.

Wolverine By Claremont and Miller
Just reissued in time for the movie, Wolvie's first solo series brought X-Men writer Chris Claremont together with soon-to-be superstar Frank Miller in a story that played to Miller's interests, and forever changed the character. By building on Wolverine's already-established mysterious Japanese history, Miller and Claremont cemented the image of the character as a tragic hero fighting against animal urges to become a noble warrior... Plus, you know, ninjas. The new edition of the book also contains the follow-up to the story, the X-Men storyline that brought Wolverine back to Japan, and introduced Rogue to the team.

Wolverine: Weapon X
Weirdly enough, the most important piece of Wolverine's backstory didn't come from Claremont, the writer who essentially owned the character for his 17-year tenure as X-Men writer. Instead, artist-and-writer Barry Windsor-Smith was the one who explained what happened to Logan in the eponymous Weapon X program to turn him into the adamantium-boned former Canadian agent in this weird and wonderful story that kind of makes you wonder just what mainstream superhero comics could get away with back then.

Wolverine: Origin
By the start of the 21st Century, Marvel had decided that fans had waited long enough to find out about Wolverine's backstory (Plus, it'd be sure to sell a lot of copies), and so came up with this... and immediately crushed a million fanboy dreams. Were fans appalled to see their badass hero as a whiny kid crying when he first popped his claws, or was it just that no story could live up to the one in their heads? It's probably both; this particular origin was slow and more dull than the character deserved, but the fact is, fans really never wanted to know the full story after all.

The Inessential Good Ones
It may be somewhat blasphemous to say, but for such a great character, Wolverine has appeared in an incredible number of shitty stories. Yes, he may be popular enough to appear in several titles each month, alongside any number of special editions and guest-spots in other people's books, but when it comes to truly great stories about the character...? They're not exactly piling up out there. But here're some worth checking out.

Essential Wolverine Vol. 1
The first couple of years of Wolverine's solo monthly series saw various creators try and work out what to do with the character, and this black and white coX-Men Origins: Wolverine opens on Friday, but a love of Hugh Jackman can only take you... more
