I’ve never been much of an X-Men fan. I’ve read some of the classic storylines and see a couple of the movies, but I never was much of a fan. And, back in the 1980s, Wolverine always seemed like a perfect Marvel character. His lack of background and powers could be used to fit him into any storyline. But there was rarely any stories that explored his character. So, Chris Claremont and Frank Miller had a discussion when they shared a car ride back from the San Diego Comic Convention and came up with a new definitive (for the time) Wolverine storyline in the four issue mini-series aptly named Wolverine. Without changing the character or giving a backstory (or origin), they set a new direction for the character that made him a lot more interesting than a wild animal of a man. Let’s see what happened.
