Hugh Jackman’s first foray into the role of Wolverine was the film X-Men Origins: Wolverine, which received largely negative reviews. His second film, The Wolverine, was better received, sending the character to Japan for a story connected to the atomic bombing of Nagasaki. This was a surprisingly bold move for a superhero movie, and many fans don’t know it was inspired by the comics. Wolverine had several adventures in Japan, and one comic series, Logan by Brian K. Vaughan and Eduardo Risso, specifically explored his experiences on the day of the bombing. This series revealed a deeply tragic moment in Logan’s life and offered a different take than what appeared in the film.
