Isn’t it about time to limit Wolverine’s appearances to only, maybe, 40 or 50 books instead of the current million or so that currently feature him? I know the fanboys can’t get enough of all that testosterone he radiates, but hasn’t it gotten a little out of hand yet? (Wow, considering recent events, that’s one shitty pun, eh?) If there’s an X-book, he’s in it. If there’s a team book, he’s in it. If there’s a shameless marketing stunt, he’s in it. Enough already! Jeez. Thank goodness he’s a giant collection of schtick, so his characterization is consistent enough. Well, except for no one making any damn effort to coordinate what he’s doing while he runs around with every single other character in the Marvel universe. At the moment, by my count, he’s possessed by the Hand, trapped in the Savage Land, being turned into an alien killing machine, fighting the sentient Danger Room, fighting every tech-enabled Marvel villain, fighting a zombie samurai, fighting another resurrection of Jean Grey, and on and on and on. For all I know, he’s also battling Galactus, voting for a new pope, curing sub-Saharan famine, and giving Aunt May a sponge bath. He’ll probably be personally delivering your subscriptions next, just because he can be everywhere at once, like Santa Claus. Hmmmm, maybe that could be yet another mini-series for him…
