The Wolverine
The Wolverine (2013)
Haunted Logan travels to Japan and is offered mortality amid a clan war. The feature condenses the principal comic storyline for the screen, retaining its central conflict while combining characters and events into a single film. It also preserves the emotional stakes and defining choices that made the source memorable. Its closest comic relationship is close adaptation of miller/claremont japan saga, with the feature reshaping that material for the screen.

Comics behind the movie
The Wolverine draws together recognisable comic-story material and reshapes it for a self-contained feature-film narrative. Start with Wolverine #1–4 (1982), then compare it with Uncanny X-Men #172–173. Reading the references alongside the movie makes it easier to see what the filmmakers retained, combined or reinvented for the screen.
