11 issues in and my god this has to be one of the dullest comics I've ever read... yet I can't seem to drop it.
I really don't understand how this book can be so bad. When they decided they were going to tell Wolverine's Origin, despite the fact they would always have complaints thats its a story that shouldn't be told (Although in fiction if you set up a mystery, its common practice to always tell it) you'd think every top writer in the business would want their hands on it. It was always going to sell well (because of people like me) and will be reprinted for years to come.
How the hell did this book end up with Daniel Way? We are in a renaissance of talent and we get one of the dullest writers I've ever read. His plots are dull and they brush over the biggest moments of Wolverine's past just so he can introduce his new reveals. I mean, Silver Fox's death was a quick flash back just to reveal he has a son... he has a son in the Savage Land and he has a clone in X-23. Why not cover something with them?
Steve Dillion's art is also miss matched. He's a good artist but his work on this book has no depth to it, it's flat and dull just like the plot.
My god this book pisses me off. This should be one of the biggest ongoings in years! It's decades in the making for pete's sake.

Yeah, while I don't seem to dislike it as much as you seem to, but it's definitely not that good. Not a fan of th art, or of the variant covers they were doing every month. Yet, like you, I still keep reading it. Though for how much longer, I can't say.

If this was a brand new character I wouldn't care much either way. I can't seem to drop it though as I love Wolverine, not the overexposed one we got a few years ago... he's still overexposed but we seem to get stories that matter these days.

Yeah, he's still very over-exposed, for sure. I've never been a huge Wolverine fan, but I like him alright. I liked Origins at first, if I recall, but now, the whole thing with his son...eh.

I don't want to know Wolverine's origins.
I don't want to know his real name is James Howlett.
I don't want to know he has a son.
Some thing are better left unsaid.

Wolverine has a son? Does he chuck pianos? No, he's a bisexual dude with a mohawk... with claws! Oh and tattoos despite the fact he apparently has a healing factor.

It sounds like it is the marvel equivalent of All-star Batman and Robin which has been pretty bad so far, especially since it has been like 6 months since the last issue came out.
