I'm really trying to become more well-read on Wolverine, he's one of my favourite Marvel characters but I just can't find much to read at all.

I've read Enemy of the State, Old Man Logan, Death of Wolverine and both Uncanny X-Men by Chris Claremont omnibuses but I'm stuck for where to go next.

The recommended reading section isn't really the stuff I'm looking for - I'm not looking for a comic from the 80's which was a really big deal "at the time" or stories that "explain the relationship between Wolverine and (insert character here)" I'm just looking for something that's well-written, well-drawn and has some awesome Wolverine action in it.

Any suggestions?

Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender. It's one of my favorite comics of all time.

Despite their age, these comics are definitely well-written, well-drawn and filled with awesome Wolverine action:

Wolverine(mini-series) - Chris Claremont/Frank Miller

Wolverine's Wedding(Uncanny X-Men #172-173) - Chris Claremont

Kitty Pryde and Wolverine(mini-series) - Chris Claremont

I know you said only modern stuff, but the above stories are required reading and integral to understanding Wolverine's character. Also, they're pretty short reads, so it's not like you're dumping a lot of time or money into them.

Now, for the modern stuff that you haven't read yet:

Astonishing X-Men - Joss Whedon

X-Force Vol. 3 - Chris Yost/Craig Kyle

Uncanny X-Force - Rick Remender

Wolverine & the X-Men Vol. 1 - Jason Aaron - this one is lighthearted, so don't bother if you're looking for something violent and edgy.

Weapon-X - Barry Windsor-Smith. The Weapon-X stuff might have been done to death but the original mini-series is still one of the best Wolverine stories of all time.

Frank Tieri and Greg Rucka's Wolverine runs. Two very diferent styles of writing but they both did great jobs with the character.

Astonishing X-Men - Joss Whedon -

No! God, no!

@jota23: Heh, I loved Wolverine in that run :)

Why? It's one of the worst versions of Wolverine ever put to paper. A dumb, one-noted, drunk monkey that did nothing but talk about beer.

Even Whedon would make excuses for his awful writing of the character in interviews, saying he couldn't do anything with him (then don't put him in the book, jackass), only for people to jump over themselves to assure him that he was doing a great job.

No, he wasn't! Even Whedon knew that!
