Wolverine: Weapon X

Barry Windsor-Smith writes and illustrates this foundational Marvel miniseries, which redefines Wolverine’s origin by depicting his brutal transformation into the government’s living weapon. Published in 2001, the story unfolds as a stark, psychological thriller within the Weapon X program, exploring the dehumanizing experiments that forge Logan’s adamantium skeleton. Windsor-Smith’s intense, expressionistic art and dense narrative make this a landmark, standalone examination of trauma and identity.
