ONLY THE FINEST SPOILERS WERE USED IN THE MAKING OF THIS REVIEW I’ve read and watched a lot of reviews of Logan. They universally agree the acting is brilliant, and Jackman and Stewart have indeed made the most of their final chances to play these characters. In that much at least, I agree. Unlike X-Men: […]
Considering how Wolverine has all but supplanted Spider-Man in recent years as Marvel Comics’ corporate mascot and standout character, the company was surprisingly late to get on board with the character from a merchandising standpoint, and even then there were a few miscues in the early going. For example, no one ever quite explained why, […]
THE ODD COUPLE Granted, Wolverine is everywhere in the Marvel Universe these days. But my favorite Wolverine comic in recent years, surprisingly, was a little miniseries you may have missed: CLAWS II, a team-up book featuring Logan and the Black Cat, by Jimmy Palmiotti & Justin Gray and Joseph Michael Linsner.

With Marvel and DC more competitive than ever, one thing that’s fallen by the wayside in recent years is the Marvel/DC crossover book. Let’s take a look back at what I still think is probably the single best of the inter-company crossover books, 1982’s MARVEL AND DC PRESENT THE UNCANNY X-MEN AND THE NEW TEEN […]
When you look at today’s Marvel comics with Wolverine practically a required member of every superhero team in existence, it’s hard to believe there was a time when Marvel was getting along just fine without Wolverine. Even in the pages of UNCANNY X-MEN during the early days of its return in the 1970s, it was […]
