I must admit that after all the years of running this website in near silence, it is invigorating to see other Wolverine fans leaving comments on the Wolverine Files blog posts. So I would like to encourage all visitors to join in on the fun.
That’s right. I’m talking to you.
Please view this as a personal invitation to introduce yourself to the Wolverine Files readers in the comments section below.
And to break the ice, let me start off the proceedings by introducing myself. I am Joel ‘DiG’ DiGiacomo, the curator of Wolverine Files.
To quote from Chapter 00: True Origin,
I was first introduced to Wolverine (or more accurately THE Wolverine) when I picked up Uncanny X-Men #111 at a 7-11 back in 1978. Chris Claremont and John Byrne were creating the golden era of the X-Men, and I became mesmerized by this cantankerous Canadian. After school, my best friend and I would talk endlessly about every last revelation of Wolverine’s past. I even started a notebook tracking all references of his life before he joined the X-Men. Later it became a Word document that I updated and rewrote as more and more entries sprang to life from the pages of various Marvel comics. After more than 25 years, I finally decided it was time to put it on the Web and let others enjoy the fruits of my obsessive compulsion.
So please take a moment to introduce yourself and maybe even reminisce about your first exposure to our favorite ill-tempered mutant.
-DiG…
Great news!
I have updated the first three chapters of the Wolverine Files chronology and added them as blog pages on this new site.
So we now have three chapters live as v3.00 and ready for your comments.
000: True Origin
001: Wild Child
002: The Origin
Make sure to let me know what you think!
DiG…
Welcome to the Wolverine Files. Let me give you a quick tour around….
To the left is the Wolverine Files Chronology starting with 000: True Origin (newly updated) detailing the creation of Wolverine within Marvel Comics followed by 001: Wild Child chronicling Wolverine’s earliest days. Other chapters reveal Logan’s early life up through his time with the X-Men, Alternate Universes and Appearances in Publication Order. I am slowly transitioning chapters from my old website to this current format that allows reader comments, so please be patient as I make the switchover and add the latest revelations from Wolverine and Wolverine: Origins.
Below is the Wolverine Files Blog featuring Wolverine news, reviews, previews and opinion as well as information on the most recent Wolverine Files updates.
Please have a look around and let me know what you think!

Welcome to the beta launch of the Wolverine Files blog!
Take a look around and let me know what you think.
I know a few things aren’t working quite right (like the periodic appearance of the German language while adding comments) but I hope to get everything sorted out soon.
My next step will be to start transitioning each chapter of the Wolverine Files chronology into blog pages so readers can leave comments directly on the page.
So don’t be shy, leave a comment and introduce yourself to the Wolverine Files audience.
I’ve been performing tons of HTML code cleanup on pages 000 through 005 and will continue to do so across the entire site.
-005: Sabretooth and Silver Fox has been updated and rewritten with new entries for Wolverine #55, Wolverine: Origins Annual #1 and references to Japan.
-I have shifted events slightly in 004: The Amazing Skunk-Bear due to recent revelations in Wolverine’s early life.
-Dream sequences and subsequent evolutionary theories posited by Jeph Loeb in Wolverine #50-55 have been added to 002: The Origin.
The 011: Team X Beginnings rewrite is now complete, necessitating the temporary hiatus of 012: Canadian Intelligence.
Rewrite of 010: Landau, Luckman and Lake is now live with new Wolverine: Origins entries and comments.
