Is it must-read comics? Honestly, I really think so. The first Wolverine mini would become a cornerstone in the mythology of the mutant and his characterization during these 4-issues has stuck with him for 40+ years. What We Talk About When We Talk About Wolverine (1982)Īfter a couple of previous adventures in the “Japan” of the Marvel Universe (note the scare quotes since it has very little to do with the real Japan), Logan returns to the island nation when he realizes all of the letters he has sent to his long-distance-bub-boo Mariko Yashida have been returned unopened! Claremont puts on his Dashiell Hammett hat for this series and Frank Miller creates some of his moodiest visuals ever for Wolverine Does “Japan !” To read my coverage of the main stories in that omni, check out the last entry in History of X. This series is sold in trade paperback and hardcover as well as included in Uncanny X-Men Omnibus Volume 3. This first entry covers Wolverine (1982) by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. Welcome to Minis of X, a new feature within our Heroes of X/History of X X-Men column that X-amines the miniseries of the X Universe! While I was working my way through X-Men Omnibuses (Omnibi?), I realized it was difficult to fit miniseries into my coverage of the larger X-story arcs, so rather than omit them entirely, or force them into already significantly long columns, I thought “ what the Limbo?”, let’s just create a new feature that gives the minis their due.
