    Mutant X Origin (2002 1-shot) 1

    david tischman (w)/lee ferguson & ignacio calero(p)/jon holdredge (i) ? THE SCOOP: The hot nationally syndicated TV show becomes a comic! ? THE SET-UP: "It's the story of Adam, a geneticist who breaks from Genomex, a secret government project that secretly tinkered with the DNA of over 1000 women in the 1970's an '80's," explained series writer David Tischman. "The purpose was to help rid the human race of disease and genetic defects, but the unexpected result has been the appearance of unique, mutant powers in the women's offspring. When it becomes clear that the government ? in the form of the Genetic Security Agency (the G.S.A.) and its head, Mason Eckhart want to use the mutants, Adam erases the database of the offspring and goes on the run, dedicated to finding these special kids and helping them escape the government's power. Adam's formed an underground of powered and non-powered individuals to help the Mutants he finds and place them with families across the country, away from the government's grip. Aiding Adam in his fight are four new mutants: Shalimar Fox, a sexy feral woman, Brennan Mulwray, a young man with the power to discharge electricity, Emma Delauro, a woman with empathic powers, which enable her to read and influence the thoughts and emotions of others, and Jesse Kilmartin, who can phase his body from intangible to steel-like density with a thought." ? THE STORY: "Issue #1 of the comic book is a double-sized issue, an origin story of sorts, telling how Adam, and his then mentor, Paul Breedlove, are recruited by the government to run Genomax, and how the initial genetic tinkering occurred," Tischman explained. "The TV series starts with all the characters ? and conflicts ? in place, and we thought it'd be fun to start the comic from the beginning, to give the fans some behind-the-scenes information and insight into Adam and his philosophical nemesis, Eckhart." ? THE FORMAT: This bookshelf one-shot is 48 pages, with ads. Printed on glossy paper. FC, 48pg Cover price $3.50.

    1st printing. Collects Origin II (2013) #1-5.

    Written by Kieron Gillen. Art and cover by Adam Kubert.

    The next chapter in the story of the man who will become Wolverine!

    In his short life, Logan has seen such suffering. Little wonder he sought sanctuary in the wilderness, far from humanity. Just him and the wolves, hunting, surviving. But when tragedy strikes his adopted home, Logan is forced back into the world. And he's about to discover how truly cruel it can be. For civilization masks monsters: men like Hugo Haversham, who would exploit Logan as a circus freak. Fiends like the sinister Dr. Essex, prepared to inflict torture in the name of science. And worst of all, another mutant very much like Logan, also torn between man and animal. One who could be his greatest ally - or his fiercest foe.

    When Logan meets Victor Creed, a rivalry for the ages is born.

    Softcover, 128 pages, full color.
