Calling all X-Men fans—it’s time to snikt into something special! In this solo episode, Jesse dives headfirst into the X-Men Movie Prequel: Wolverine comic from 2000, a hidden gem that hits you with some comic book lore before the launch of the live-action X-Men film universe. Jesse walks us through the gritty pages of this tie-in tale that puts Logan center stage before the movie even begins. 

We’re talking classic Wolverine here: bar fights in British Columbia, brooding over mysterious dreams, and a fierce battle with none other than Silver Samurai. Jesse recounts each moment—Wolverine’s amnesia, his bond with a mysterious woman named Natsu, shady gangsters, corrupt cops, and the creeping shadow of a criminal empire. And of course, it wouldn’t be early-2000s Marvel without the oddball restrictions of the Comics Code Authority—Wolverine’s claws go in, but the clothes never tear. Seriously, what a weird rule. 

Don’t miss it, bub—check out what Logan was up to right before he walked into that bar in Alberta.
