I know the fanboys can\u2019t get enough of all that testosterone he radiates, but hasn\u2019t it gotten a little out of hand yet? (Wow, considering recent events, that\u2019s one shitty pun, eh?) If there\u2019s an <a href=\"http:\/\/marvel.com\/publishing\/showcomic.htm?id=4\">X-book<\/a>, he\u2019s in it. If there&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/marvel.com\/catalog\/listing.htm?title=new%20avengers\">team book<\/a>, he\u2019s in it. If there\u2019s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.marvelnemesis.ea.com\/\">shameless marketing stunt<\/a>, he\u2019s in it. Enough already! Jeez. Thank goodness he\u2019s a giant collection of schtick, so his characterization is consistent enough. Well, except for no one making any damn effort to coordinate what he\u2019s doing while he runs around with every single other character in the Marvel universe. At the moment, by my count, he\u2019s 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\u2019s also battling Galactus, voting for a new pope, curing sub-Saharan famine, and giving Aunt May a sponge bath. He\u2019ll 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&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Isn\u2019t it about time to limit Wolverine\u2019s appearances to only, maybe, 40 or 50 books instead of the current million or so that currently feature him?
