Wolverine: Origin



From Shout! Factory's Marvel Knight Animation comes the greatest story 'never' told:  Wolverine: Origin.
 
Everyone's favorite Marvel Comics' Canuckle Head, Canadian superhero: Wolverine, had his origin hid for years.  No one knew of his early years.  In fact, no one knew how old Wolverine was, what his name was and how he obtained his healing factor and claws.

In the ground-breaking, maxi-series, Wolverine: Origin, put out several years ago, readers were given a first-person perspective on how Wolverine 'Logan' or "James Howlett' became the man, or mutant, he is today.

I prefer to refer to the maxi-series as an 'Origin(s)' story because it involves not only Wolverine's birth but the birth of Sabretooth and a certain young woman near and dear to both Sabretooth and Wolverine. 

Marvel Knight Animation has translated the story over to an intense new animated film that captures the look and feel of the maxi-series and ups the amps with a stellar voice cast, music, sound effects, visual effects and more.
