The first comics I really got into were the classic Chris Claremont and John Byrne issues of Uncanny X-Men. And the reason I got into them was Wolverine. At the time, he was a really cool character because he was a blank slate. We didn't know anything about him so even the little things became a big deal like the first time Banshee called him Logan. So as the run went on and we learned more of his past in Canada and with Alpha Flight, the character became even more interesting. Over the years so much has been done with the character and his past that all of the mystery has been robbed from him and replaced by a bizarre web of confusion as memories have been dismissed as memory implants and no one is sure about what is actually his past and what is implanted memories. And as the past of Wolverine became less interesting, a new wrinkle was added his relationship with Wolverine. The origin of this long standing grudge has been one of the last mysteries surrounding the character. That mystery ends with the current storyline that begins with Wolverine 50. I have mixed emotions about this storyline. While I am curious about the relationship he has with Sabertooth, I also hate losing the last shreds of mystery surrounding the character. But if the story has to be told, at least its being told by Jeph Loeb. The story begins as Wolverine returns to mansion to have it out with its newest resident Sabertooth. What results is a violent confrontation that begins to reveal moments from their past and establishes what exactly happened and what did not (including a critical moment that had previously been dismissed as an implant). Fans of the character will definitely want to check this out. Cover price $3.99. Grade: CGC 9.8 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
