Oh me too. Love me some Hama Logan

Same here. Welcome to Claw City/Death of Mariko is a personal favorite & an All-Time Classic (IMHO):

The cowl is amazing especially with the white eyes

I still don’t trust them to keep it on for an extended period of time in the actual film

I'm betting it's Wolverine, but also think that Logan may be in X-Force too. Since Capullo showed a panel of Forge that he drew for it recently.

I wish Wolverine gets a top writer. I don't remember when was the last time we had a top writer in wolvie's ongoing. I would say the last was Jeff Lemire but that was Old Man Logan and his run was so short.

Same, he hasn't had a run to talk about since rucka imo

Still holding onto the smallest chance that it's donny cates. Saladin isn't an improvement from percy story telling wise tbh..

[X-Logan]

I think Mark Millar's was the last one.

Do you really not like Percy on the Logan solo book? I think his run will go down just as good as Rucka's if not better. I'd put Millar and Claremont above Percy but that might be it. I'm talking strictly the solo title, not X-Force.

Idk about top tier but last time I guy did alot with logan is Jason Aaron

His Weapon X title was fantastic.

[berserkerclaw]

Yep it was. I liked his run on The title generally aside from a few stories.

Someone elsewhere was asking why Wolverine is so popular and this is my answer:

Somebody on Reddit described him as a mix of Dirty Harry, James Bond, and a Slasher Villain. It's extremely beautiful in its deceptive simplicity. Because even James Bond isn't always the same. Roger Moore is worlds different from Daniel Craig. And yet, doesn't this also describe Logan? Depending on the comic, he might not be quite as far as Moore Bond, but he'd certainly be closer to Connery or Brosnan. Then in other stories he'd be Craig.

Wolverine is everything. You want a brooding loner? Sure. You want a loving mentor to a perky teenage girl? He can do that, too. Greg Rucka's run on his comic in the early 2000s was more like a Punisher story, he didn't wear a costume and he was mostly on his own fighting cults and human traffickers. But then, once Rucka left, we got Millar and Enemy of the State with Wolverine crossing over with god knows how many superheroes and villains. Does that not show the essence of his popularity? He is, as I said, everything. He's the best at what he does and what he does is a lot of things.

I'm very much a new fan myself but this makes sense to me. I bring it up because what is a "definitive Wolverine run" seems to depend a lot on what you want out of a Wolverine story in the first place. Larry Hama is considered almost as definitive as Claremont to some folks I've talked to. He did write Wolverine for many, many years. But I confess, I can't enjoy his stuff. It's way too 90s cheese and hokeyness - full of excessive exclamation points and Sabretooth calling people geeks" - to say nothing of some of the worst retcons and problems with Wolverine continuity.

But as I say, I'm a new reader. I've heard great things about Jason Aaron's solos stuff but even more praise for Wolverine and the X-Men, possibly because I've been trying to look up "what a new X-fan should read" lists and threads.

But like I said, there's a Wolverine writer and story for basically everyone. Not all will to be everyone's taste. I'm interested in Daniel Way, despite how Romulus sounds like the worst.

Had he been given more than a handful of issues, Skroce coulda been a contender (IMHO):





But overall, Paul Jenkins tops my list when it comes to anything/everything related to the ol' Canucklehead (XD)
