This thread is to show what Wolverine comics influenced the movie in terms of the storyline and character. It is NOT a recommendation thread...(because if it was, there's no way I'd have ORIGIN in there 
). At this stage there are only a few details about what we can expect to see in the film, so as time goes on the list will be added to. But for now:
WOLVERINE: ORIGIN
Written by: Bill Jemas, Paul Jenkins, Joe Quesada
Art by: Andy Kubert & Richard Isanove
Story by: Marvel's best-kept mutant mystery revealed! Before the X-Men, before Weapon X, Wolverine's struggle with his subconscious savagery first flourished in family tragedy. Some of Marvel's most acclaimed creators unite to tell the tale that shaped mutantdom's mightiest misfit. Collecting ORIGIN #1-6.
How it relates to the movie: Many of the characters and concepts from the movie such as James Howlett, the Howlett family, Thomas Logan and Dog originate in ORIGIN.
WOLVERINE: WEAPON X
By: Barry Windsor-Smith
The Story: Wolverines a lot of things to a lot of people, but to one infamous enclave he was nothing but a weapon. And weapons kill people. They found that out well enough. Find out for yourself in this prequel to recent revelations of the murderous mysteries that have mesmerized our favourite mutant! Collecting MARVEL COMICS PRESENTS #72-84.
