Now how about some action figures? I want an Eddie with optional junkie monkey. Or maybe a Bloody Stumps Roland with lobstrosity. Each could come with one part of a giant bear figure, collect them all you've got yourself a Shadrack Guardian. Thinking cap included.

wolverine has recurring dreams of these ancient fighting wolf-men.

goes on a quest to find out about wolf-men.

fights sabretooth, is recovered by Storm and black panther and they just happened to know a archaeologist in wakanda who just found some wolf-men bones/artifacts

wolverine finds out that he is descended from line wolf-men, and so he's related to anyone with wolf-like powers, such as Sabretooth, Feral, Wild Child, Wolfsbane, And SASQUATCH(?!?!retarded).

there is this guy Romulus behind it all, he's the wolf-man in charge or whatever and he is evil.

wolverine also finds out that there is a prophecy about two wolf-men rising out of the group as rivals, one blond, one dark-haired. (wolverine and sabretooth, duh) This is a ridiculous thing for the prophecy to be specific about; hair-color??! Why not have them be at odds because they both strive to be the greatest, and they won't tolerate competition? No, they are at odds because one has dark hair and the other is a blondie.

Jeph Loeb is a TERRIBLE Wolverine writer. This whole story is a very bad idea.

in X-MEN, Rogue wants Sabretooth on the team. So he is in the X mansion.

in WOLVERINE, Wolvie runs into Sabretooth in the X Mansion and they fight. and he kills him. with the magic sword.

But in X-MEN, Sabretooth goes off with Rogue and company on their mission. Mid-mission he escapes (he was sort of an XMen captive) and he hasn't been in a book since.

funny wolv review http://tinyurl.com/3xh42c

I subscribe to the guy's weekly-emailed reviews, so I can keep up with all things X, without having to buy the stuff.

he's a great writer and the email is something I look forward to each week.

I'm not knockin' you @holes, cuz I understand you guys gotta cast a wide net regarding what you review for your audience. He gives me my X-fix and you guys give my the rest. And the multiple perspectives on a book are nice as well.

Now, what book did I read recently and love so much? GLI-Deadpool Summer Special. Squirrel Girl has defeated Marvel's baddest, including Thanos and Doom. But wait...."that stories can't possibly have occured in continuity"..could they? That was super! Squirrel Girl also summarizes why Marvel's current direction sucks donkeys with her talk to Robbie Baldwin/Speedball/Penance, pointing out that he is so full of angsty self-pity when other heroes have done everything he did, and then some, and are able to move on. God, I hate what's become of Speedball. GLI/Deadpool was fresh, funny, fast-moving, continuity-reference heavy, but still accessible for my non-comic fan friends to enjoy (while in the loo, but they still read it and liked it).

This was probably inevitable. It would be hard to top the adrenaline rush many readers felt reading/seeing Hulk beat down Iron Man, King of Assholes.

With issue 3, we see the writing on the wall. Obviously, Hulk can't really kill some of Marvel's most prominent characters. So the seeds are being planted to turn Hulk back to the (relatively) pro-Earth/humanity side. We see that some of the Warbound are actually rather shady, and Hulk's oldest, truest friend, Rick Jones, is back on the scene. Additionally the Hulk's human friends are around (including a possible future Giant-Man?) and the young genius (7th smartest in the world. How do they make these rankings?) who may or may not be on the up-and-up is featured prominently. This is all good, but doesn't quite resonate like the first issue did.

World War Hulk is great! I am not a regular reader of Hulk, and both WWH and Incredible Hulk are on the top of my stack now. But honestly, the only way I could be fully satisfied is if the Hulk really did kill the Illuminati in a brutal manner. Since that is obviously not going to happen, the ending can't possibly live up to the beginning. For me, at least. But I am probably a sick and maladjusted individual, wanting to see Reed Richards and Tony Stark put down for good.

DOC: "My companions do not know their souls are at risk and I dare not tell them."

VAL:"Insufferable men!"

NAMOR:"I long only to be in Atlantis, yet once again I must ally myself with surface dwellers."

HULK:"Beans give Hulk gas. Where can Hulk get beans?"

DAREDEVIL #99: More goodness. Brubaker and Lark are a triumph for traditional, fast-paced superheroics that never feel the least bit campy or retro.

GREEN LANTERN #22: This story kicks ass! Geoff Johns is the one writer who can make a comic using established names feel like a mega-budgeted blockbuster movie without losing sight of continuity, history or the characters. If only Hollywood could do a Green Lantern movie this spectacular.

SPIDER-MAN & THE FANTASTIC FOUR #4: This was a disappointment. I've been enjoying this MARVEL TEAM-UP-esque miniseries but this issue was basically wrap-up with way too many conveniences. I also didn't care for the portrayal of the Impossible Man's race or what happened to them at the end. I'd imagined them all to be just as crazy and off-beat as him. Still, Jeff Parker's a good, functional writer when it comes to one-liners and action.

"The last time I talked to Mike we agreed that both he and I drew "action" not "violence" and, unfortunately, that limited our commercial viability in today's market. Mike commented, a bit bewildered, that only a few years ago his style was "The Look" that all the editors wanted to give their characters, but somehow, suddenly, that had changed. I'd been thinking about that a lot, even before I got the news about Mike, and this is what I decided-- this is what I was going to tell Mike the next time we talked: "Mike's art was about hope, not hopelessness. He drew heroes, not martyrs. And if that was wrong, thank you Mike for never being right."

Man, Wieringo was one of the greats...
