Jewish X-Men Origins: Jewish Wolverine = Jewverine

Origins: Jewverine

We here at I Heart Jews didn't get to see the new Wolverine movie on opening night. We were home researching kosher phone cards that prevent you from dialing sex lines. So sue us. It just wasn't a priority.

You know what would have gotten us away from our computers and into the theaters? Matt Selman's amazing creation, Jewverine.

Here's a little excerpt from the Jewverine origin story:

“What if I went as Wolverine?”
I already had the sideburns. My wife looked at my thick, curly facial hair, skeptically.
“Is Wolverine Jewish?” she asked.
“No, he's Canadian."
Why did I marry a cheerleader instead of a nerd?
“Okay, Jewish Wolverine,” I said, liking it. “Jew-verine.” Loving it.
But Rabbinical sideburns plus Wolverine costume weren't enough. Only half a joke Halloween costume. I needed more. I needed full joke.
