You Did NOT Miss Wolverine #72

For all of you Old Man Logan fans who think your comic book retailer doesn't know what he or she is doing because you never got the last issue of the story, blame Marvel, not the retailer.

Yes, that's right. You DID NOT miss issue #72 of Wolverine. I do understand that you recently took home issue #73 and were completely confused. Again - blame Marvel. They needed to move onto the next story line and unfortunately they've (as usual) been pretty easy on the deadlines for the creators of the Old Man Logan story. It's coming out this week (Thursday if you're a USA resident, Wednesday if you're not).

I know you are shaking your head, barely believing me. It's been since those bad days we refer to as the 90's when publishers felt the need to publish issues of their comic books out of order. But I swear it's true! Here's Marvel's official solicitation - with the date of May 28th on it, and the solicitation for issue #73, with May 13th as the release date. Marvel isn't even hiding the fact that THEY are the ones to blame. They let the Old Man Logan story fall well behind deadlines and then had to rush Wolverine #73 - that must have a story tying into other Marvel events. It's crazy! It's annoying! It's Marvel.

You'll get the last issue of the Old Man Logan storyline, not to worry. Just don't blame your local comic book retailer for the out-of-sync issues.

Wolverine Video Game

I'm back - found out I'm pregnant and resigned from job, all in a week. Yep, I'm nuts.

Anyway, I saw this trailer for the Wolverine Video Game, due out May 1 for all systems, and I thought it looked pretty good. I might just check it out via rental. I prefer hand-to-hand combat in games versus shooting, as I find I can never get the aim right or I'm killed off by the time I have the target in my sight.

What do you think?

What's Happening in Wolverine's Pants This Christmas?

This is the cover for the Marvel Holiday Special for this year. It's done by Ron Lim, Scott Koblish and Andrew Crossley. At first glance it's pretty fun, I thought. Wolverine & Spider-Man on the cover- two of Marvel's biggest and best sellers of comics. Spider-Man looks to be having fun decorating Wolverine, who doesn't look very enthusiastic about it.




But take a closer look at Wolverine's crotch. Why is it so square down there? Spider-Man doesn't look to have the same problem. Is it like the SNL music skit, "in a box?" Or maybe it's Wi-Fi?


This post is for Kelly Ann, who hasn't picked up her copy of this yet. She's had a family member die this week, and she is sick, dealing with a chinchilla with an impacted tooth, and getting ready to drive out to the north woods for Christmas with her family.

This crotch post is for you, KA! Merry Christmas!
