Wolverine Origins 18
It's Cap America versus desert nazis

Wolverine Origins 18

I've never picked this title up before but I get the general consensus from different sites that it isn't very popular.

Yet, it's no Allstar Batman I can say that for sure.

Wolverine Origins 18 is the third part of a story but I managed to drop right into it and have an ok time of understanding what was going on. It's a WWII set tale with Captain America and his pal Bucky teaming up with Wolverine, in a pre superhero civilian guise, in the Tunisian desert to rescue some soldiers or something.

Cut down to its basic level this story is really just an excuse to show off Captain America being hard, with Wolverine standing off in the sidelines looking on. Since the artist in question is Steve Dillon this is ok, cos he can draw good like.

Even though the story is kind of static and the tension between Bucky and Wolverine is toothless Wolverine Origins 18 is worth picking up just to check out Captain America punching Nazis.

Re: Wolverine Origins 18

I haven't read this, but I just read Brubaker's entire Captain America run to date in one sitting, including the Anniversary special and Winter Soldier one-shot and was near-giddy with joy at all the WWII/Invaders/Howling Commandos flashbacks. Giddy, I tells ya.

Also... Never read 30+ comics in one sitting. The real world is a fucking slap in the face afterwards.
