Ohohohohooo...do i have some recs for you!

So for me i like to look at the characters first appearance to see where they started to compare how much they changed, whitch for Wolverine would be Incredible Hulk issue 181 (and i think he's being teased through the whole of 180) from 1974. Not an awful read, but also not totaly required.

Next good stop is Giant Sized X-men, a mini-series that introduces new members to the X-men team, like Wolverine. A fun read but again, not completely required unless you want the EARLY early Wolverine. It also sets up a pretty big character for modern X-men, Krakoa.

Then there's the famous, legendary and some would say revolutionary run on Uncanny X-men from issues 94 all the way 'till 280. It's quite a long run that i am honestly still planning on reading myself, but i can point out issues 205 'A Wounded Wolf' and 268 'Madripoor Knights' whitch are both Wolverine focused.

With Claremont there comes also Wolverine from 1982, a 4 issue mini with art by Frank Miller, personaly Claremont writes my favorite Wolverine, so i totally recommend this. The Wolverine from 2013 is (very) loosely based on this mini. It also introduces an important character for both Logan and Storm, Yukio (who you may know from Deadpool 2, tho be warned, comics Yukio is basicly a 100% different character from the movies).

Then, what i consider a must read, Kitty Pryde and Wolverine from 1987, another mini-series by Claremont, very important for Kitty and for Logan. Issue 3 has one of the best fight scenes out there. But be warned, some stuff with Kitty could be potentialy triggering.

Next comic that i would consider a must-read (mostly for Spider-Man fans tho) is Spider-Man versus Wolverine from 1987, it has Logan and Peter having an adventure in Germany. It also starts their long-standing dynamic that will always be fun to read.

Next rec must centrainly be Weapon X by Barry Winsdor-Smith (both story and art), it tells the tale of how Logan got his adamantium, it's a dark, sad, gory and traumatic story with body horror, so keep that in mind.

Speaking of Logans backstory, Wolverine: Origin by Paul Jenkins with art by my favorite Wolverine artist, Adam Kubert. Shows us Logans childhood, teens and early 20s by my guess. It introduces us to his brother Dog Logan, who later becomes more important in Jason Aarons stuff.

Kieron Gillen and Kubert then went on to make Wolverine: Origin 2 whitch shows us Logans first meeting with the Creed family.

Next up i'd reccomend Greg Ruckas 2003 Wolverine run, whitch while admittedly iffy on the "writing women" department, is pretty good in the Logan department. It also has the famous issue 6, with its gay as hell Nightcrawler Esas Ribic cover, overall it's a great issue and a good run.

After Rucka came Mark Millar who i haven't read because i don't really like Millar, or John Romita Jrs art for Wolverine. Millar kinda flip floped with Jason Aaron in the run, whitch gaves us issues 62-65 with it's story arch 'Get Mystique' whitch i personaly rather enjoyed.

Continuing with Jason Aaron, there's also Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine with art by Adam Kubert. It's a mini-series that has Peter and Logan go through time-traveling shenanigans whitch end up playing a fairly big role later in Aarons Wolverine & the X-men. This story also officialy makes Peter and Logan blood brothers through a native american ritual, so that's neat.

Rn i am personaly reading Aarons original Wolverine & the X-men run from 2011. And, considering it's Jason Aaron, who these days is a bit of a nemesis for me, it's a damn good read, mostly pretty Goofy but also has some damn serious moments.

Anddd i think that should be enough for now, there's TONS of more stuff, rn Wolverine has a new on-going starting in September, like 3 mini-series going on, Benjamin Percys 5 year long run just ended along his X-force whitch heavily features Logan, he's also a main character in Simones Uncanny X-men that started out last month and there's ALOT of old stuff i haven't mentioned (mainly team-ups, minis and team books where he's a supporting character) so there's no fear of running out.

And/But if you'd like some more recommendations, more detail thoughts on each rec or even to ask me about Logan some more (be it the character, writing or art) absolutely feel fre to DM me, i am always open and ready to talk about Wolverine.

I wanna start to read The Wolverine's comics, where to start? I'm like zero.
