Where Wolverine Lost His Wey: Origins.
I reread the ‘Born in Blood’ story last night (much to @slim’s chagrin) and actually enjoyed it the second time through.
I dug the Cap/Logan rivalry, that hinting that they are connected because they are both attempts at creating the perfect soldier is really well done. I love Nuke, so issues four and five were a no brainer for me.
Also, when Logan hands Cyclops the Muramasa and makes him promise to stop him? C’mon that tugs at the heart strings of a guy that’s watched those two grow from mutual hatred to begrudging respect.
I always stop here when reading Origins, cause I know Romulus is right around the corner (and I tend to lose my shit when I think how awful that was).
In the end, Born in Blood is tragic in the fact that it takes one of those most exciting ideas from the aftermath of House of M but fails to hit that home run us fans of the Canucklehead were expecting.
