this week, We will find out if greg is drawing wolverine or x-force. would be happy with either but wolverine seems like a perfect book for greg
Still holding onto the smallest chance that it's donny cates. Saladin isn't an improvement from percy story telling wise tbh..

“Not as good as I once was… but I’m as good, once, as I ever was.”
Idk about top tier but last time I guy did alot with logan is Jason Aaron
X-Men Forever
Yep it was. I liked his run on The title generally aside from a few stories.
X-Men Forever
Someone elsewhere was asking why Wolverine is so popular and this is my answer:
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.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.
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.
