It's based on a limited series from the early eighties, by Chris Claremont and Frank Miller. You can find it collected here

This is the original Wolverine in Japan miniseries by Claremont and Miller that the movie is loosely based on: Wolverine - It's very good.

Here's some of my favorite Wolverine solo stories:

Get Mystique - Wolverine hunts down Mystique, for what he promises is the last time.

Adamantium Men - Someone's started up the Weapon X program again. Wolverine decides to show them why that's a bad idea.

Wolverine Goes to Hell - Wolverine's in Hell, but something's in his body back on Earth, attacking anyone with a connection to him.

Oh and from a quick Google search it looks like this is the Wolverine movie is based on.

Coming from a Marvel Cinematic background, I would recommend:

  • The Ed Brubaker Captain America line, as this will most likely play heavily into the upcoming Winter Soldier film. The book continues well after the initial Winter Soldier storyline, and it's all really good.

  • The Warren Ellis Iron Man: Extremis storyline, as this covered a decent amount of the major concept from Iron Man 3, as well as the origin from Iron Man

    In addition, since you've already read Whedon's Astonishing, I have to recommend Morrison's New X-Men, the storyline that Astonishing builds heavily from. Claremont's Dark Phoenix Saga is a great classic story, if you're unfamiliar.

    As for Wolverine, a recent favorite of many is Old Man Logan. This is a self-contained 'future' story, so it's not canonical, but it's good. The Claremont/Miller Wolverine is always a classic, and heavily influenced The Wolverine.

I think it's this one

u/digitsmb · 2 pointsr/comicbooks

Well, the story is partly continued in Uncanny X-Men #192-193. He makes his appearance in those issues.

It's all collected in TPB

This collection on Amazon has the first solo, limited series in it. I completely forgot about the Marvel Comics Presents storylines that featured a lot of his backstory.

Oh. This is not the movie I thought it would be. I was under the impression that they were doing this. Where did they source the story they are doing?

u/that_black_guy · 1 pointr/comicbooks

Here is the story that the latest movie was adapted from.

Little comics 101 I should have probably mentioned (sorry if this runs long!) Basically, there are two main ways to buy comics. You can buy individual issues (either as they come out or on reprint/resale), or buy book collections that compile those same issues.

Single issues are released as part of ongoing series or miniseries. For example, Wolverine Vol. 1 was a miniseries of 4 issues. Whereas Wolverine Vol. 2 was an ongoing series that went indefinitely until Marvel ended it. (Marvel might end a series to change the direction or creative team, or just cancel the series if sales are poor.) Marvel releases individual issues once a month or sometimes more frequently depending on the series (not uncommon to see bi-weekly releases, or even weekly for some miniseries).

Book collections compile multiple issues to make a single "book." For example, the 4 books that LoganPatchHowlett posted above are collections from what were ongoing series: Wolverine Vol 5 and Vol. 6. Marvel decides what collections it wants to print and what issues they collect. They usually cover important or popular story arcs from ongoing series or an entire miniseries. For example, this is a collection of all 4 stories from Wolverine's first mini-series, whereas this is a collection of just one story arc from Wolverine vol. 3.

Another thing to keep in mind is that Marvel often (but not always) releases collections in different forms. They might print the same collection in paperback or in hardcover with high-quality paper. For example, this and this collect the same issues/story. Something like the Uncanny X-Men Vol. 1, which was immensely popular has a lot of different versions of collections for the discerning fan.

Here you go. Enjoy.

There was just one X-Men comic until 1991, and then things got really complex.

I would recommend you start with "God Loves, Man Kills" and Claremont/Miller's "Wolverine." They are both classics, and they're available for pretty cheap. Joss Whedon's "Astonishing X-Men" is also fantastic.

If you like Magneto, you might want to check out "Testament." (Do not read Morrison's New X-Men if you like Magneto.) Magneto's cool in "God Loves, Man Kills" too. If you are reading single issues online, check out Uncanny X-Men 150, 161, and 200 for good Magneto stories. Also, the collections Vignettes 1 & 2 have good Magneto origin stories. "Vignettes," in general, really focus more on the characters as people, so you might really like those collections.

Chris Claremont wrote the X-men from 1975 to 1991. He focused a lot on their characters, who they are as people. He had fighting scenes, sure, but that stuff bored him -- he was much more interested in them as people.

So, to recap, here are my recommendations (click titles for Amazon links):
