Hugh Jackman is set to don the adamantium claws once more this month for 20th Century Fox's solo X-Men sequel The Wolverine, but before then Shout Factory Marvel Knights Animation will explore Logan's early adventures with the motion comic Wolverine: Origin, which is based upon the comic book by Eisner Award-winning writer Paul Jenkins and artists Andy Kubert and Richard Isanove. Check out the trailer for the forthcoming motion comic after the official synopsis...Wolverine is the best there is at what he does - although of course, what he does isn’t very nice. But long before he was a member of the X-Men, a tormented experiment of the Weapon-X project, or even a savage bar brawler known as Logan – he was simply a young boy.
What incredible forces created this man, the world’s greatest killing machine? For years, Wolverine has searched desperately for answers from his past, from the wilds of the Canadian Wilderness to the teeming cities of Japan and beyond. And despite his perseverance and longing for the truth, he remains an enigma to himself and those around him. But, in this landmark event, Marvel reveals all: the birth and childhood of young James Howlett…the intriguing secrets of his family history…and the tragedy that changed everything.
Welcome to the greatest story never told.
Wolverine: Origin will hit shelves on July 9th.
