You didn’t think that Marvel’s mutants would sit out ‘Siege’, didja?
Dark Wolverine and the New Mutants are both taking trips up Norse - Digital Spy has the details.
“Say hello to my little friend”!
That’s right Ian - like Glenn Danzig, Wolverine is both a terrifying individual and a “little person”.

Wolverine: “Thats a practical new outfit you’ve got there, Frost. People don’t appreciate how hard it is fighting supervillains without some breathing room for your ass. Believe me, if I thought I could pull it off, I’d be wearing the exact same thing. But, ya know, I’m already saddled with the ‘scary X-Man’ label as it is.”
I’m still working my way through the magnificent (and gigantic) Wolverine Omnibus Vol. 1, and I’m currently re-reading the first few issues of Wolvie’s first ongoing solo series.
But I do have a problem with the book’s premise - Wolverine needs the world to believe he’s dead, because the X-Men’s latest brilliant idea is to make the world think they’re dead, which they improbably accomplish simply by moving to Australia. But even more improbable is Logan donning an eyepatch - and pretending his name is “Patch” - and somehow convincing the world that he’s this guy.
It’s more of an insult to the reader’s intelligence than Clark Kent’s glasses!
“Gee, you look exactly like Wolverine, but you’re wearing an eyepatch. I guess you must be some other 4’11” Canadian roughhouser with vertical hair and Three Dog Night muttonchops. Who has three metal casings on each hand, and can track people across the country by their scent. Wow, separated at birth or what, huh?”
Having said that, I freaking love this book and every single comic reprinted in it’s 1000+ pages - they’re each of them a classic. But sometimes you gotta take a step back and acknowledge the silly - now that I’ve done so, I’m going back to the book, and resuming some good old fashioned, suspension-of-disbelief, comics fun.
Daken: “I’ll ask you again - keeping in mind that my claws are positioned directly beneath your boy parts - does my breath smell like fresh flowers on a beautiful summer’s day?”
