Logan: Wolverine Appreciation 2019

[TheDeadSpace]

For some reason I always love when they have Logan in a suit and tie. Like a boss.

Yet, he always looks as if he's extremely uncomfortable.

[TheCape]

Yet, he always looks as if he's extremely uncomfortable.

Not always, he can tolerate then, but at the same time, his mutation does affect his behavior to an extent, so is probably the animal on him that prefer to not feel suffocated.

[comeatmebro]

how long until we get a Wolverine solo by Duggan

[TheCape]

Thanks for the confirmation, you know after what you've said about the second issue and seeing this art from the third issue, I'm not sure if I'm going to wait for the tpb or buy the second issue soon lol.

Completely agree about Wolverine #75, such a great issue.





No more Mister Nice Guy!





But seriously after the success of the Old Man Logan series, it's not surprising that Marvel wanted Wolverine back to a more "classic" characterization similar to the 80s and pre House of M, that's what the majority of the readers wanted.



Yeah I hope he will write more Wolverine stories after Exit Wounds, I don't like how his original run ended with a tie in to Operation Zero Tolerance and who knows maybe after all these years he will finally reveal what was inside that mysterious box lol.

If you want a simple but fun story, yeah do it. But honestly, it doesn't like is going to be very important, so you could probably wait if you want too.

Lol to that DD homage, but yeah, when it comes to a group setting Logan should be the guy that isn't in the spotligth and does the dirty job when nobody is looking.

how long until we get a Wolverine solo by Duggan

If it ever happens, we probably had to wait until Soule is done with "The Vigil" and Brisson finish Dead Man Logan.

Thanks to Maestroneto in the X-Men Monday thread, we have new art from Uncanny X-Men with Wolverine in his brown costume fighting Wildside:

To be fair, I feel as if I can relate to Logan at times in that regard.

Uncanny X-Men #242 Mar 1989
Inferno: Part 4 of 7 - "Burn!" Guest-starring X-Factor.
Story continued from X-Factor #37...

To be sure that his senses are not fooling him, Wolverine kisses Marvel Girl, confirming for him that she is still alive.

Now for the first time ever, the X-Men and X-Factor have crossed paths as they are
gathered around Madelyne Pryor who has her and Cyclops's son Nathan Christopher.
With the X-Men having arrived, Madelyne has hidden her Goblin Queen form from them.
Marvel Girl pushes Wolverine away when he refuses to stop coming on so strong, prompting her to tell Storm to control her people.

When Iceman and Beast attempt to grab Christopher from Madelyne, Havok gets in their way.
Tempers begin to flare out of control due to the X-Men's manipulations by the Inferno, and their continued belief that X-Factor are mutant hunters.

This causes Wolverine and Dark Angel to come to blows. Warren manages to strike down Wolverine with his wing feathers.
Rogue flies in and attempts to stop Warren by kissing him to absorb his strength, powers and memories.
However, she only sees the image of Apocalypse in his mind and is shocked when Warren is capable of pulling away from her embrace.
Before she can do anything about it, she is blasted from behind by Cyclops.

This leads to a full out fight between the X-Men and X-Factor. As Iceman attempts to ice up Havok, he uses his powers to melt the ice sending a flood.
When Dazzler and Longshot get caught up in the water, the two -- having been affected by the Inferno spell -- start making out in the middle of the battle.
As Cyclops pulls Madelyne out of the water, she berates him for abandoning her.
When Scott tries to defend himself, his brother Alex appears and begins attacking him,
telling him that he betrayed his marital vows to Maddie the day that he left her.

Just then, N'Astirh appears before them and swats Havok away, and then unleashes two demons on Marvel Girl.
The moment the creatures make contact with her, MG realizes -- to her horror -- they are her parents transformed into demons.
As the battle rages on, N'Astirh summons a demonic stage-coach and is about to leave with Madelyne,
putting Cyclops in a position where he must make a tough choice:
Does he save his wife and child from being taken into the clutches of the techno-organic demon,
or save Marvel Girl from the creatures that are her parents transformed. Cursing himself, Scott chooses MG,
and N'Astirh picks up Maddie and little Christopher and flees the scene.
Havok, cursing his brother as well jumps onto the back of the coach in the hopes of rescuing her himself.
Scott runs to Jean's side and Jean condemns Madelyne as a being of pure evil.
Scott and Jean then go to where the members of the X-Men and X-Factor are still battling it out.

While speeding through the city, Madelyne drops her innocent appearance and readopts her Goblin Queen uniform.
Havok meanwhile holds onto the coach for dear life. As the wind rips through his costume,
he feels as though that it's doing something worse to his soul.
When the coach finally stops at the transformed Empire State Building, he reveals his presence to N'Astirh and the Goblin Queen.
Maddie remarks how his tattered uniform now resembles her and asks for his loyalty.
Giving it willingly, she christens him her Goblin Prince.
As they enter into the building to prepare for the sacrifice of young Nathan,
they are watched by Colossus who begins to scale up the side of the building in order to stop them.

Back in Central Park, the battle between the X-Men and X-Factor rages on, as the members of X-Factor learn that
the X-Men still believe that they are mutant hunters and are unaware that they revealed themselves as mutants.

As Wolverine and Dark Angel fight it out, Cyclops wonders where Storm is, hoping that he can talk her into getting the X-Men to stop fighting.
Storm has spent most of the battle floating above Central Park looking at the transformed Empire State Building
and wondering how the Inferno has affected her and her comrades. The obscene obelisk reminds her of the butte from the
other dimensional world that the Adversary banished her and Forge not too long ago and wonders about it's significance.

While high above the tower, N'Astirh, the Goblin Queen and Havok prepare for the coming sacrifice by creating an altar.
N'Astirh is shocked to see how quickly Madelyne is adapting to her newfound powers.
When the demonically transformed Grey parents arrives with young Christopher Summers,
Madelyne is disgusted by their ability to sense that the child is somehow related to them.
As Madelyne finishes commenting about how only the baby is truly hers,
she is angered to find that young Christopher has telepathically communicated to Marvel Girl about his impending sacrifice
launching her into a fury and deciding to hold off on the sacrifice until she can destroy MG once and for all.

Down below in Central Park, Marvel Girl's battle with Rogue is cut short when winds carry her up to where Storm has been watching the battle.
When the two are finally reunited, they agree to get both of their teams to stand down so that they can save Christopher from his insane mother.
However their reunion is cut short when N'Astirh teleports before them and attacks, despite the combined
efforts of both X-Men and X-Factor, none prove to be much of a match against the newly techno-organic demon.
However, when he grabs a hold of Rogue and attempts to infect her with the Transmode virus,
he learns that she had developed an immunity to it thanks to her encounter with the Technarc named Magus.
While atop the Empire State Building, Colossus reaches its peak and when he attempts to stop the Goblin Queen, Havok blasts him away.
As he flies across the city he is saved from a nasty landing by Iceman,
who uses an ice slide to send him flying into N'Astirh, weakening the creature
due to its natural weakness to iron, forcing the demon to teleport away.

With the X-Men and X-Factor unified, Storm orders Psylocke to boost her
psi-powers over the static created by the Inferno by psi-linking with Marvel Girl.
This is a pleasant surprise for MG, who for months has not had the benefit of her telepathy.
They exchange information regarding Rogue and Colossus's encounter with the Magus in order to learn the weaknesses
of techno-organic beings so that they can better deal with N'Astirh when they make their final assault on the Empire State Building.

Sending Colossus up the tower again to distract N'Astirh, the Goblin Queen and Havok, he finds himself bound by strange tentacles.
When Dark Angel and Wolverine join the fracas, they injure N'Astirh and save Colossus giving Storm and Iceman and opening to freeze N'Astirh in ice.
As N'Astirh boasts that the cold allows his computer systems to operate at peak efficiency he attempts to cast a massive spell.
However, this is when Cyclops and Dazzler chime in with their powers along with Storm
increasing the humidity under the ice barrier causing N'Astirh's circuits to overheat.
As the final salvo, Storm unleashes a powerful torrent of lightning bolts that quickly overload N'Astirh's circuits causing him to explode.
Unfortunately for the two groups of mutants, even though N'Astirh was seemingly destroyed, the Inferno spell still appears to be intact.

Cyclops is appalled at Storm's willingness to slay their enemy, and this begins a
debate between the two groups' different methods in striving for defending mutants.
In the middle of the argument, Marvel Girl is suddenly caught in a mystical noose and pulled away.
When the X-Men and X-Factor turn to see who has attacked MG, they are shocked to see that the Goblin Queen is still alive
and possessing all her magical might and demon hordes and that she now intends to destroy them all.

Story by Chris Claremont. Art by Marc Silvestri and Dan Green.

This is probably the last great story of Claremont's run to be honest, after Inferno i couldn't enjoy most of his run, there a couple of great stuff here and the thougth (like Uncanny #268).

[Triniking1234]

Yeah. Fall of the Mutants to Inferno were pretty good runs for X-Men, X-Factor and New Mutants at the time. Inferno ends on that sweet boss fight with Mr. Sinister.

[Hush]

If you want a simple but fun story, yeah do it. But honestly, it doesn't like is going to be very important, so you could probably wait if you want too.

Lol to that DD homage, but yeah, when it comes to a group setting Logan should be the guy that isn't in the spotligth and does the dirty job when nobody is looking.

Maybe if the preview of the third issue is good I will buy it but after that terrible Wolverine saga by Soule I wasn't interested in any books published by the X-Office but with the announcement of Exit Wounds and House of X/Powers of X, I have to admit it really piqued my interest

Yeah that's a nice homage by Ryan Stegman, I think when it comes to team books every characters should get the spotlight from times to times but yeah not just one character. For now I've only read Uncanny X-Men #11 (mostly for the Wolverine's retuns story) and while I found it enjoyable especially Wolverine's entrance, his characterization and his team up with Scott I still have trouble to understand why he has memory issues, maybe something will happen by the end of Infinity Watch to explain that.

If it ever happens, we probably had to wait until Soule is done with "The Vigil" and Brisson finish Dead Man Logan.

There is definitely something going on with Wolverine, Dead Man Logan should be over around September/October, Vigil in December if there is no double ship and no delays and both House of X and Powers of X should end in September/October too, so I wouldn't be surprised if the Wolverine relaunch happens around that time too. I wouldn't be surprised if both Uncanny X-Men and X-Force have some shake up once AOX is over too.

Now who is going to be the next Wolverine's writer is one big mystery and I'm surprised Bleedingcool or any other comicbook site haven't heard any rumors about it.

- Cates is too busy with Venom, GOTG and according to some rumors he wants to relaunch the Ultimate universe next year so yeah no way he's going to be on Wolverine anytime soon although he mentioned Venomized during the promo of "Absolute Carnage" so with any luck he's going to get rid of Jimmy Hudson
- Dugan is finishing Infinity Watch and then he will be on Savage Avengers, so it's still possible.
- Brisson is finishing Dead Man Logan, his AOX mini and honestly I wouldn't be surprised if X-Force is going to be retooled or ends after issue 12.
- Soule has been teasing his big Star Wars project for a while which should be announced in April and I wouldn't be surprised if he's going to replace Kierron Gillen on the main Star Wars book. After the terrible critical reception of his Wolverine's works and how he messed up the big return of Logan, I don't think Marvel is going to let him go near Wolverine again after Vigil.
- Ewing is on Immortal Hulk, he's finishing Avengers No Road Home and he's going to do the whole Warps thing so who knows
- Spencer could be a good choice too but I'm not sure if Marvel wants one guy to handle both the main Spider-Man book and the Wolverine series it's a little too much

Or maybe it's going to be someone that hasn't worked at Marvel in a while like Hickman. Or the X-Office could just reunite Larry Hama, Marc Silvestri and Adam Kubert for the Wolverine's relaunch I don't think anyone would complain

Stay there old man, is time for you sleep, all the Wolverines in the multiverse would cry for you.

my top picks for a Wolverine solo would be Duggan, Howard, Loveness, Rodi, Sacks or Robbie Thompson

Nice! That scene with Logan and Warren has always been intriguing (a clue about Apocalypse or Sinister being involved with Logan's adamantium surgery perhaps) a shame Claremont couldn't develop this plotline further.

This is probably the last great story of Claremont's run to be honest, after Inferno i couldn't enjoy most of his run, there a couple of great stuff here and the thougth (like Uncanny #268).

Don't forget Uncanny X-Men #251, one of my favourite Wolverine issue of all time!!!!

[Hush]

my top picks for a Wolverine solo would be Duggan, Howard, Loveness, Rodi, Sacks or Robbie Thompson

After reading both the the life after Logan one shot and the Venom Annual I have to agree Jeff Loveness would be good choice for the Wolverine relaunch!

- Ewing is on Immortal Hulk, he's finishing Avengers No Road Home and he's going to do the whole Warps thing so who knows
- Spencer could be a good choice too but I'm not sure if Marvel wants one guy to handle both the main Spider-Man book and the Wolverine series it's a little too much

Or maybe it's going to be someone that hasn't worked at Marvel in a while like Hickman. Or the X-Office could just reunite Larry Hama, Marc Silvestri and Adam Kubert for the Wolverine's relaunch I don't think anyone would complain



Damn poor Old Man, I'm going to miss him

The X-Office knows how to seduce us and then crush our dreams and hope, but we keep going bakc to then .

As for Logan memories in Uncanny, is either a reference to the fact that he can't remember what he did under Persephone control as a corpse. Or just a low keynway to say " yeah, dude doesn't remember his past anymore, expect future retcons". Hell, maybe Hickman is respobsible for the retcons lol.

Duggan and Brisson are the most likely to me, as you said Cates and Spencer are too busy and i don't think that Eiwing has a lot of interest on Logan.
