Comics The Wolverine thread

Surely you must not have looked very hard... or beyond the first page...

 

Yeah, so where's the thread that deals with Wolvie in general just in the comics? I haven't seen it either.

 

What about the "Wolverine Remembers Everything Thread"? Sounds pretty damn general to me.

I dunno, maybe I just think these "Official Character"-type threads are annoying. Just a lame excuse to spam and post scans from comics.

 

If this thread had been in place in the first place, then you wouldn't have to start a new thread each time some big event happens in Wolverine's little life. You can talk about it all in one place.

As for you Morgoth, I strongly reccommend you get the Enemy of the State TPB, House of M TPB (when it comes out), and Decimation TPB (when it comes out) to get a better idea of what's going on right now. Those should catch you up. If you're really out of touch, Mavel has 3 volumes of Essential Wolverine which, though back and white, reprint the first issues of Wolverine's first regular series.

 

You'll have to forgive Cyclops, he used to be a mod and he's perpetually grumpy about everything. Don't take it seriously.

 

That's very true.

I do hope that you will start reading Wolverine again, this next arc does look to be exciting. They are doing a bit of Wolvie overkill right now, he can be found in three X-books, his own, and New Avengers which is a really good book, too. This overusage has bumped him from number one to number two on my faves list, but he'll always have a high rank with me. You should also check out the Ultimate X-men series, too if you aren't already, it's really good, too.

 

Talk about good luck! I had no idea who Hugh Jackman was -- like a lot of folks -- and look how good he turned out.

I always prefered the black for Wolverine. I have long maintained that a guy with that much testoterone wouldn't be caught dead in blue and yellow spandex! I liked the early art, too. There haven't been many Wolverine issues I haven't liked.

 

Hey, even Gambit pulled off Magenta! . I prefer the black and gold like he has in the Ultimate books. I do miss Patch. I thought it was cool that Wolvie had this alternate person he could go run away and hide in if he wanted. I guess they think that idea's been all used up...

I also sort of miss his little sidekick adventures where first he had Kitty following him around and then Jubilee. It would be nice to see them do something like that again.

 

Fave issue? Hmm... that's a toughie. It's been a while since I've read them through. Of the newest series, it would have to be #9 where he and Nightcrawler have an intimate discussion on good and evil after Logan had just finished a difficult mission. Of the previous run, I'd have to say the one where he skewers ol' Saby in the head, issue #90.

 

Sometimes it's just nice to see ol' Saby get some comeuppance, you know? . Actually I liked the whole time that Saby was at the Mansion, leaking secrets about Gambit's past to Rogue. Sabretooth's always been a fave of mine, I like my ferals. I would like to see them definitively link him into Logan's family tree, I think it only makes sense that he be there, whether he's a son, a cousin, something.

 

Yeah, I'm hoping they answer some of those questions they left danging in Origins. (I still think Sabretooth is Dog, though I've heard convincing arguments that it's Cyber).

Back to issue 90, I remember one of the things I liked about it was that it was a very personal issue. I mean, you got to see what Logan liked to eat -- he went for the strawberry icecream, hee! That might sound lame, but I've always liked those personal little insights into what these characters are like in their off time and what their personal tastes are. With such a large team, you just don't get the character development that helps you really relate to someone. It's how we decide who our favorites are. Without those little touches, all of the characters seem the same.

 

He looked really blonde in the issue where he's standing over the dying grandfather when the old guy sends him out to look for Logan. Like he finally washed his hair or something.
