3. Wolverine: The Brotherhood
In the vain of every solo Wolverine story published, none have come to be as stylish as Wolverine: The Brotherhood. Written by Greg Rucka with art by Darick Robertson, The Brotherhood is one of those deeper comic book organizations, like The League of Assassins or HYDRA, with plenty of dark secrets to hide from the public. Unfortunately, they make the fatal mistake of getting involved in Logan's life. While staying at the house of his 17 year old friend Lucy Braddock, members of the group assault the place, knocking Wolverine out and killing Lucy. Hellbent on revenge, the story takes a noirish turn as Wolverine moves quickly to track down the perpetrators of this horrible attack. While we did see a somewhat similar element present in Origins where Agent Zero killed an elderly couple Wolverine was staying with soon after getting the adamantium skeleton, the deeper story was never adapted to the big screen. Mangold could easily make a classic sequel to The Wolverine that incorporates the noir style of the 30s with the gleeful violence of Quentin Tarantino.
