Didn't really know where to start for wolverine apart from getting his X-Men appearances, super useful. Definitely considering origins and Claremont run.
Really glad to see The Redeemer and The Brotherhood on here, they're borderline forgotten at this point. Rucka writing Wolverine as a PI working a missing person's case in Brotherhood was so smart, and Robertson's art is so brutal.
I really liked “The Package” (Wolverine #41 3rd series) by Stuart Moore. I thought it was a fantastic one-and-done story! I also liked “The Man in the Pit” (Wolverine #56 3rd series) by Jason Aaron. Another cool one-and-done story.
Oh! And “Insane in the Brain” (Wolverine: Weapon X #6 to 9)! Such a disturbing, creepy story. Reminded me of the ‘Saw’ movies. Not necessarily the best Wolverine story, but it stuck with me cuz of how disturbing it was. Yeesh!
The 4 issue mini series by Claremont and Miller was left out from the first Epic Collection, but we can find nice paperbacks including the Deluxe Edition. Do you think that the Weapon X will be included in the Epic Collection number 4? Or will be left out because of the many editions that's out there?
Two other actors who could have played Wolverine in various moments in his life would be Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson. Mel especially during lethal weapon, but Clint definitely as wolverines typical age but also old man Logan. Grand Torino was basically if Logan wasn’t a mutant. 😂
Old Man Logan #1 for me. As a kid probably Inferno just because passion for Jean. Solid choice Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk: that is rock solid amazing. Although only real fans will understand how crazy it was to wait like three years after second issue cliffhanger
I’d say Uncanny X-Men 162 is a good introduction too, it’s the first time we see Wolverine’s narrative voice, almost like a pulp:/noir first person narrator style as his healing factor fights against the brood egg that has been implanted within him and struggles with whether or not to tell his teammates they are infected with brood eggs.
Yes, but it was never really explained like that in the comic books. People just assumed that they came out of the gloves until it was explained that they came out of his arms and through his hands.
this vid came at the best time,i have just started to collect more wolverine to read,a questin,i cant get a hold on the wolverine omni because it sold out,but i got the vol 2 omni, my question is is the material in vol 1 omni avalible in trades?
I used to love comics when I was 9 cut forward to me being 16 and loving comics again, wolverine has to be my favorite comic book character, and I have a comic collection of his most important issues
I probably would've included feral Wolverine even though it isn't that popular. Still had Larry Hama writing it but I really like how having his admantium stripped from him changed him for a couple of years.
Is this a guide as in "Read this in this Order and You Will be good to go" or just a recomendation list as in "These are good. Read what ever You want from These"
Now didn’t Marvel originally steal the idea of Wolverine from a kid? Pretty sure I’ve read some kid invented him and Marvel stole it. That kid deserves creative credit
Omar, could I get your Wolverine expertise on this pickle of a conundrum…. COULD LOGAN’S BODY REVERSE A CIRCUMCISION? (the scenario being that Logan was circumcised well before his mutant abilities kicked in) My friend asked me this one time, and I didn’t know how to respond 🤔🤔🤔
@@NearMintCondition Alternate reality is a consept i don’t like. I don’t like reboots either, but i prefer reboots if i have to choose from these two. Alternate reality would be good choice if they would forget the heroes who are capable travel between the realities. Then it would be almost the same concept as reboot. I understand why you were speaking about the realities and I wasnt thinking closong the video because what you were saying but for the reason of Marvel universe 😂
I’m sorry but wolverine will never be an avenger in my head canon. I would’ve included all new wolverine. I know it’s not Logan but it’s still wolverine. Maybe blood debt
Only the original Wolverine is Wolverine. The “all new” thing is just forced diversity. It’s appropriation of successful white male superheroes and turning them female or brown or both.
@@streetfighteralpha9891 your wrong but that’s ok. I’m sure you were ok with Eric masterson as Thor, or Grayson as Batman or Bucky as cap, or Jason, Tim or Damian or Wally
Respectfully disagree. Forced diversity is exactly the same thing they said about Giant Size 1. A black woman, a Native American, a Japanese man.. a blue…. Demon? I love All New Wolverine. DC has been doing legacy characters for decades. Hell, there were four doods named Flash one year. And Marvel did the same with Monica when she became Captain Marvel.
@@NearMintCondition If they have their own original character including alter ego/super hero name then diversity isn’t an issue. Even then, when they have at least one of every possible race on a single small team it becomes obvious that they are checking boxes such as the Eternals movie. At this point every single character seems to have a female version and it’s not creative or original. It doesn’t help that the writers’ idea of empowering the females is by degrading the males around them.
@@nelsoncarvalho6338 An opinion can’t be wrong. It’s my opinion that it feels forced. It’s a fact that they are giving black, brown, Asian, and female characters the super hero names made famous by white male characters. And since those original characters already had fans it feels forced like they don’t think they could be successful on their own, building their own fans as a truly new character. But yes, I would prefer even the names you listed to have their own super hero name such as Nightwing. I never cared for Thor having a human alter ego at all. Alternate reality or a female version once or twice would have been fine, but almost every single character has this treatment. It’s just ridiculous at this point. It used to be done because it sold when it was a new thing, but now they do it even though most don’t want it as shown by comic sales. They do it because there is an agenda.
I just started reading wolverine omni 1 (had it about a year) and it is amazing. Picked up omni 2 as well and its disappointing that #3 doesnt come out til the end of the year. Mostly i read digitally but i felt like i got such a great amount of content in order in that omni 1. Makes me think what i should do once im finished with omni 2, wait for 3 or just continue digitally 🤦♂️
I appreciate all the work you do for us fans and I just wanted to say thank you
Wolverine is one of those characters whose story you botch for yourself if you don't read in publishing order or close to it.
how come?
Didn't really know where to start for wolverine apart from getting his X-Men appearances, super useful. Definitely considering origins and Claremont run.
Hi! 1st!
Really glad to see The Redeemer and The Brotherhood on here, they're borderline forgotten at this point. Rucka writing Wolverine as a PI working a missing person's case in Brotherhood was so smart, and Robertson's art is so brutal.
yeah, I think my obsession is going through the roof, anyway imma go raid my local library
Oh, man! Great video for people wanting to know where to start. Thanks for posting this, you bring so much great content to the community!
We need a reprint of the New Avengers omnibus!
I would buy the reprint and a vol.2 omni if they make it
Hi omar and family. Question - do you know of any books similar in style / genre / tone to Chris Clairmonts The Black Dragon ? Thanks
A great way to help people that are looking at starting to read Wolverine, some great points for people to read. Good job as always bud.
Terrific list! My only addition would be Vol. 3 #32, Millar and Andrews' "Prisoner Number Zero," that super-creepy, Twilight Zone-ish WW2 story.
I liked that one too 👍🏼
Oh man, that story is amazing. Almost a lost classic these days.
JAPAN!!!
I actually really love Origin. It's a compelling story with good art.
I really liked “The Package” (Wolverine #41 3rd series) by Stuart Moore.
I thought it was a fantastic one-and-done story!
I also liked “The Man in the Pit” (Wolverine #56 3rd series) by Jason Aaron.

(Jay RoC) Wolverine isn't hansom like H. Jackman , have you seen Jim Lee's Wolverine? That is one sexy son of a gun
I think the only purpose for Origin was to make Wolverine American, not Canadian. Good art, but the story kind of sucks.
Can you make a venom one and rocket raccoon one too?
Dude, I know I’m probably getting on your nerve, but I’ve gotta ask, where is the Superman reading order?
And I’ve answered. Do you check back replies?
He's already said it's coming lol he's waiting until a couple of books come out in march
@@NearMintCondition
Oh crap, no I hadnt, sorry about that!
@@diegocorrea9327 It started. :) so part 2 will be out some time in the next few weeks.

Grand Torino was basically if Logan wasn’t a mutant. 😂
I'd love more of these videos in the future, maybe one of Doctor Strange just in time for the Multiverse of Madness ^^
Cool dude thanks heaps for the amazing video thankyou for sharing mate
A video like this for The Avengers would be cool too! Really hyped for the X-Men one
Love these reading orders. I got into comics with your green lantern reading order
Old Man Logan #1 for me. As a kid probably Inferno just because passion for Jean. Solid choice Ultimate Wolverine vs Hulk: that is rock solid amazing. Although only real fans will understand how crazy it was to wait like three years after second issue cliffhanger
We certainly need a Wolverine Epic Collection vol. 2 reprint!!!
love this man, you should do more where to start and have a full X-Men video.
Hey Omar could you possibly do an updated reading order for amazing Spider-Man?
A comprehensive reading order would be Awesome !!!! This is also neat and helpful of course.
Thank you.
There's a cool issue Wolverine had with Ghost Rider in the 90s.
I’d say Uncanny X-Men 162 is a good introduction too, it’s the first time we see Wolverine’s narrative voice, almost like a pulp:/noir first person narrator style as his healing factor fights against the brood egg that has been implanted within him and struggles with whether or not to tell his teammates they are infected with brood eggs.
Best place to start is either the 70s X-MEN comics by Chris Claremont, or the mini series that Wolverine had where he went to Japan.
I’m so ready for this, bub
Chris Claremont and Frank Miller’s miniseries is my first Wolverine comic
Weren’t the claws supposed to be part of the gloves and not coming out of his arms originally?
Yep. The way designed by Romita.
Yes, but it was never really explained like that in the comic books. People just assumed that they came out of the gloves until it was explained that they came out of his arms and through his hands.
Please do make a video covering the best of Wolverine.
That omega red story line is awesome , I dont know how many times I read that as a kid
Maybe a wolverine reading list? haha great video!
Damn, now suddenly I'm regretting not buying the Wolverine Volume 1 Omnibus 😅
Dc has he not rebooted twice
great video but where is the brilliant uncanny x-men 205 by Barry Windsor Smith! classic wolverine issue
I know it's considered a classic, and I fully appreciate how important it was, but Giant-Size X-Men is such a bad story to me, lol.
Thanks man this gave me some cool books to look for.
this vid came at the best time,i have just started to collect more
wolverine to read,a questin,i cant get a hold on the wolverine omni because it sold out,but i got the vol 2 omni,
my question is is the material in vol 1 omni avalible in trades?
Great review. Please do more Where to Start
I used to love comics when I was 9 cut forward to me being 16 and loving comics again, wolverine has to be my favorite comic book character, and I have a comic collection of his most important issues

Hi! can you make a reading guide for the new DC comics? :)
wolverine omni vol 3?!? i must have missed a video. welp thats another omni this year
Finally a video about Patch
😂💪
Ultimate Patch vs Hulk: Needles and Thread.
Is this a guide as in "Read this in this Order and You Will be good to go" or just a recomendation list as in "These are good. Read what ever You want from These"
These are not my favorite stories, just a Read these as your introduction.
Is Spider-Man in enemy of the state?
Old Man Logan is my favourite to this day
Would be nice to have every story of Wolverine collected in omni format one day 👌🏻🔥
If I were to read origin as my starting point for Wolverine, what would you recommend I read after that? Wolverine Logan or Uncanny X force?
If I had to choose between those two. Logan and then weapon x.
Whoever knew moving is the thing that Wolverine does best?
Dont read anything new marvel is ruining them
Now didn’t Marvel originally steal the idea of Wolverine from a kid? Pretty sure I’ve read some kid invented him and Marvel stole it. That kid deserves creative credit
I’d like to see this article. I’ve never heard about this.
What’s the next one for March?
Do one for ghost rider please
Hoping for a HC reprint of Uncanny X-Force
I didn't know about that Wolverine: Logan story. Is it available on any collected editions?
Trades and a Marvel Premiere HC.
Thanks!
SUBBED.
Would you ever dare to do a ranking for the stories.
Ohhh man. That would be so fun!
Are you gonna do a dedicated video to the new GEN 13 hardcover omnibus coming out next week? I loveeee J. SCOTT CAMPBELL.
Omar, could I get your Wolverine expertise on this pickle of a conundrum….
COULD LOGAN’S BODY REVERSE A CIRCUMCISION?
(the scenario being that Logan was circumcised well before his mutant abilities kicked in)
My friend asked me this one time, and I didn’t know how to respond 🤔🤔🤔
It almost made me close the video when you started to speak about alternate realities :D
There wasn’t that many. But some people absolutely prefer over the 616 Wolvie.
