Top products from r/Wolverine

Wolverine by Claremont/Miller is the original and the best. The story is basically continued in the X-Men book From the Ashes, also highly recommended.

I love [Havok & Wolverine: Meltdown] (http://www.amazon.com/Wolverine-Meltdown-X-Men-Walter-Simonson/dp/0785110488/ref=sr_1_sc_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1414207327&sr=1-1-spell&keywords=wolverine+meltdwon). Fantastic art.

His first unlimited series is pretty good. I think it sells as Classic Wolverine.

Weapon X by Windsor-Smith is highly rated.

Wolverine Noir was pretty decent.

I recommend against Origin. One great part of Wolverine's character was his mysterious past. So Origin really ruins an essential aspect of the character.

You'll probably get more answers in r/xmen.

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.

Wolverine Origin is a standalone story as is Weapon X. They are both good and I would recommend starting there.

There's also the first wolverine solo comic, which is what I'd also recommend.

From there it goes into his 1988 run. That goes for 189 issues.

There was a Wolverine reboot series in 2003. It offshoots midway through into a second series called Wolverine origins. Both are great.

Then there was another series that started in 2010. I haven't read this but it's here:

Following that was the 2013 series that leads into the Death of Wolverine and Wolverines. I only read up to the death miniseries.

That should keep you busy.

There's also all of the X-men series he's in haha. From Claremont's original run, then the Lee 90s series and so on. There's literally endless wolverine stories. His first appearance was in Hulk 183 or something, can't remember, but his first main series as a character was X-Men when Chris Claremont picked it up in the 70s and then branched into his solo stuff in the late 80s.

Also, Marvel Unlimited is the worst site to figure out chronologies of comics. Which is weird. I would use stuff like Wikipedia, comixology and just googling stuff like "Wolverine Comics" and see what some of the top results are. Usually way better than what Marvel's site produces. I couldn't even find half these links by searching on marvel's site. I searched for them in google and marvel's site was a result.

Wolverine: the best there is is totally over the top silly action. Not the deepest story, but it's a fun ride.

okay sounds....a bit confusing but I guess I get it. ;)
So as I mentioned before I bought the 4 Book Collection of this https://www.amazon.de/dp/1302904728/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_Xp-NBbT91GFD8
Am I correct that this is a decend recap of the current Wolverine story?
