Set Description:
Wolverine shocked us all by "cutting his hair" for the cover! Logan like other characters, where it can be said, "It is all about the hair!"
Verily interwoven, in comes Apocalypse!
The Wolverine has the humility covered and just does what he does best, but sometimes what he does best, isn't very nice, snikt!
Can he keep his friends, and are they really foes? Poor Logan Son almost can't ever catch a break. People keep trying to break Logan, and that is a fact. The facts of life? Logan seems to get around there too.
His love life is as tumultuous as a war gone wrong. The break that touches Logans psyche the most? That is the question, and a never-ending story!

He's Bad, he knows it. He's Good, he knows it! His past? He doesn't know it yet! We've probably seen more in comics concerning him than the Wolverine can remember or account for!
Wolverine with some brown, blue and yellow that makes it with ease to leap out and claw someone. A bit mangy at times, with a sense of feral type rage. He can heal in a sense, but that doesn't always mean that he smells nice, and in a way, Logan is still as much human as mutant. He bleeds and therefore must be accounted towards a purpose, though he has been burned, and sometimes that means the hardest to listen. To reason, advice, or even obeying commands comes hard by the way of Weapon X and the likes of a cause that was nothing but suffering.
People who were trusted and that instead take advantage and for their own purposes is like unto a salted wound. While salt is a means to preserve and any innocence remaining, bearing those scars is similar to toughening up, which is not always in context of machismo, but instead is thought to be a strength common for those who truly don't where their heart on their sleeve. Even as the good book says!

SIGNED BY MIKE MAYHEW ON 10/3/19. Charles Soule story. Steve McNiven & Jay Leisten art. Mike Mayhew cover. The Wolverine awakes in a lab, and while surrounded by bodies, he then discovers they are lifeless. It takes someone spilling their guts to enlighten, when his claws are glowing hot and a newfound life and or existence upon his brow. It again seems to be the clone saga, or maybe to be finally admitted too. It finds him again making some efforts to protect the innocents, which seems to be an ever-ongoing purpose for freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Obtained this circa 2024 in the boards raffle from boardie Ron C! With a signature series example of those burning claws in 9.8, complementary orange cover and yellow label curtesy of the same Mike Mayhew! All in all, a very robust offering that continues Logan as the Wolverine into venues and avenues.
 He is back, and hell may come with him? That causes some heat of speculation.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass to see the movie before released publicly of, "Unstoppable!" A story of overcoming a called handicap that proves like when the Wolverine was thought dead, that in spite of circumstances people can make it through and out for the better of themselves and others. Admirable goals, and dare I say, "of heroes!"

Return Of Wolverine #1 2nd Print Error. Charles Soule story. I didn't know about this "error" comic until the 2018 Christmas raffle where I received a copy that was a 7.5 by Wolverinex a generous boardie. I couldn't wait for that copy to come back from CGC, so I bought this beautiful 9.8! It presents well and has a great cover. I'm grateful to have learned of it and to keep the memories! So much fun to learn something new and keep the train rolling with collectability. I'm trying my hand at "moderns" every once in a while. It was nice to see the Wolverine come back in a big way too. After being marked "dead" and trapped in a pool of ADAMANTIUM that had hardened. He even got heat blades upon his return. Got to go with the plot twist, probably more fun when characters come back to life, than reading months leading up to a "death."
 New York Comic Con Variant! Given to me by boardie PunisherPunisherPunisher, and those were some interesting reads.
Complete with a back cover picture of the under copy I still own from the boardie. Mementos!

1st Wolverine as Patch. Good old Patch! 1st ongoing in title. Wolverine gets fleshed out in this series that is long running and gives the Wolverine a human side! He goes to Madri Poor to act as guardian. He has a soft spot for the way it's done around there, he dares not let anyone know he is the Wolverine. Given that would give too much attention. He wants to lay low to come and go or operate as he sees fit. He's trying to stop the powers that be from pulling the strings. He doesn't want to pull them himself but bares that in mind when cautiously calling in favors. Every time he almost gets it wrapped up some bigger baddie comes out of the woodwork. Bloodsport was one of the first along with Silver Samurai. Got to be careful Wolverine they may be on to you now! Those ongoing issues whether in a number one issue or in an arc within an established ongoing series, just go to show the pivotal movers and shakers upon what stays around over the years!
 Wristbands carve out stamps for prescreens.
 Joe Jusko artist style shows that the Wolverine villains get more metal and psychedelic, but those early days in the heat of the night show that he could maneuver his own type of "movement!"
"In a most unlikely town and we had our share of 'struggles', but we made it through anyhow, I've got your back you've got mine and like Johnny Cash said I walk the line... and you can always count on me for one last... " ~ Bowling for Soup
Complete with a back cover picture of the "screen" at the prescreen before released publicly of the movie depiction of the real-life game of, "TAG!" Brought to us in cinematic style and starring Hawkeye Actor Jeremy Renner on the big screen. A family with some add-ons that take the game seriously over years and documented in real time becomes a movie with the antics, much like how the Logan "Patch" character tries to play footsie in Madri Poor without being found out due to his reputation. No favors to be called in, per se, with the assists of, "tag your it!"

Back cover pin-up by Bill Sienkiewicz. Silver Samurai & Jessica Drew appearance. Wolverine is making a go of it all within the ongoing realm of spare parts. Some timely covers and or back covers that make a fun revisit for nostalgia. Those early ages with codename "Patch" spending some efforts in Asia. Flying back and forth while still attending to X-men business, but this is mostly a Logan solo affair that he does not want to spread around the neighborhood. He still has his main nemesis that are visiting like Silver Samurai this issue and Sabretooth comes in around issue #10! Picked up as a reader early on when back to collecting, and from Local Comic Shop Titan Comics for about $5. Back when this was as common, I thought it did look in decent grade for collecting, which makes it all even nicer to now have it back slabbed as NM + 9.6.
 The "Wolverine Origins" movie didn't go over really well, but was produced by j-animations, who for the time was attempting to be innovative, and hey, it had the Silver Samurai but needed a nice plot.
Complete with a back cover picture of the insides to Wolverine issue #57, also featuring the Silver Samurai, and signed by "Bo", who is a boardie who got their letter printed there in the letters page. Logan always being tested, once again shows that sometimes death is merciful, and again sometimes as pictured, the Wolverine being that brand of justice. Samurais of all ages were swinging for the fences and carding themselves like soccer fouls with series to keep on the "cutting edge", scrawling those letters of confidence.

Pin-up by Kevin Nowlan on back cover. Silver Samurai & Jessica Drew appearance. Sights homed in on the Wolverine, but to find him unmasked is the real get around, and a shot to the arm proves all too harmless but still sends the Wolverine reeling on the cover. Any damsels are worth saving, and Wolverine this issue uses the distraction to not be used for evil. It is a saving grace that somehow or sometimes we have to rely on outside resources or influences. It takes those vicarious dealings to save the day sometimes, whether by chance or our own accord. Picked up from Titan Comics early on when back to collecting, but that grade shows it isn't all that pretty of a read. It does take up the run though into fulfillment, when getting those readers graded after sitting in the boxes so very long! Those reads as a kid though make this nostalgia worth it.
 J-animations who produced "Wolverine Origins" even has movie ephemera, here I picked up a pocketknife still in the packaging from the Oscars promotion showing in theaters circa 2025. The Wolverine has his own built in kitchen utensils, am I right?!
Complete with a back cover picture of a gift I received in Secret Santa on the boards circa 2023, Hallmark Ornaments. Inspiring us to get a tree down the road or at least watch Home Alone the first movie to enjoy hanging the stockings. It is by grace this Christmas we are saved, and that through Faith!

1st app. of Bloodsport & Roughouse. Karma & Jessica Drew appearance. Back cover pin-up by Barry Windsor-Smith. Bloodsport this issue has his henchmen and is out for blood! He doesn't want that of just any Englishman but would like to savor the hunt to sink his teeth into worthy prey. Namely the Wolverine has been spotted, and it will take the bruhaha to make up the difference, as Logan as the character "Patch" is trying to lay low. The Wolverine doesn't want it spoiled by said ruffians, but he will take a sock to the face all the same! Trying to get the Wolverine down for the count is an ongoing saga just to prove it possible, or it is a long story and motivation of many early villains, even unto today. Logan shows his human side in this ongoing series, but that doesn't make him of the soft variety, it only shows his character that it is hard to even be an acquaintance of the Wolverine.
 Issue #59, when the Wolverine shocked us all by "cutting his hair" for the cover!
Complete with a Barry Windsor Smith back cover so it is being shown off towards those Wolverine, i.e. Patch, i.e. Logan feral sides, that go back further than these introduction series, but the wild doesn't often get tamed against the will, it takes a soothing of the instinct. That in itself has been a long turmoil with Logan, he hardly ever "gets to" let his guard down.

Karma, Bloodsport & Jessica Drew appearance. Pin-up by John Bolton on back cover. Jeeps across all eras have mostly been all terrain vehicles, and the Wolverine could have studied up on how to bushwack one by this day and time, to sum up the cover with a great color spectrum. Red Skies at night! Sailors delight. However, the Patch character is trying to sum up other people's business by solving his own problems. To wit, from the trees and doing it for the vine, comes Patch to pummel into submission would be scum. Salt of the earth Logan, or he tries to be, has his own side of filth but sees it toward a greater mission; although, he doesn't always think it for the "good!" Bought this early on when back to collecting for $5 at LCS Titan Comics, a decent reader grade slabbed now in very fine condition. Those days well spent reading up on Madri poor.
 Logan like other characters, where it can be said, "It is all about the hair!"
Complete with a picture of the regular back cover and those bar fights in the early days of the Wolverine character, where they weren't games to be played but instead a show of force instituted while inebriated. Logan can chug-chug-chug with the best and doesn't always walk straight afterward, but usually still wins the fight with the biggest guy there, those are the breaks. Until in walks Sabretooth soon after and most often. Bob can build it, Ralph can "wreck it", and Beck can bend it, but Logan can't catch a break! Even in temporary circumstances like washable tattoos.

Distorted hologram on cover. Wraparound cover w/ Wolverine hologram. Direct editions contain 8pg "Siege of Darkness" & "Kaybee Toystore" insert. Larry Hama story. Adam Kubert & Mark Farmer cover & art. G.I. Joe artist? Well given they had Buscema start off art for this series, anything is possible. Andy Kubert became notorious for X-Men and even has his own art school, however, as that is the circle of life when nostalgia hits hard from the 90's, from before and to the beyond. I loved these series as a kid, and while it was close to my heart at a young age in a subscription, it kind of broke it all the same. To know that someone as headstrong as the Wolverine could then become humbled through such an excruciating display of turmoil! It rocked the senses! It was picked up by friends alike off the newsstands, for that bonding in prayer united us! Such physicality seemed important to the simpleness that Logan would recover, but how?
 The insides to this issue, that show the X-Men needing an ETA Stat! The trauma occurring to Logan's life was proving permanent for a time, and who's healing factor needed a wing and a prayer!
Wraparound Covers stand alone in the registry. With the ableness to have back and front cover sized up cheek to cheek to show the art and importance of this issue, sending us reeling.

Return of the Wolverine's ADAMANTIUM. Yes indeed, it was yanked out by Magneto, and now it is replaced and all to aid the Apocalypse. What will it mean? As a henchman for the "1st ever Mutant", it will take to task the Wolverine. Logan's mind is about to get blown and it will mean restraint at the highest level. What will turn the tide? In this run the only "good" that comes about for it might only be the metal that caused Logan so much pain to begin with. This Canadian is going to learn new lows and new heights, in the classic Wolverine style. Not to make heads or tails of anything, that is Logan's mind, until clarity comes. The Wolverine has been on roller coaster rides in emotion and life's ups and downs. He, seemingly, never quite has the sweet release that he is looking for, and in the end, it will mean the fortitude to stand up to life's trials are in the still moments.
 Verily interwoven, in comes Apocalypse!
Complete with a back cover picture of a Marvel Card since CGC is grading those now, APOCALYPSE FALL OF THE MUTANTS! He almost horns in on the Wolverine by making him the "Death Horsemen" so to speak!

What could be considered the Liefeld Experience? It could be Deadpool, and it could be pouches, and if the twain should ever meet? I don't know, but it might spell the 90's. Wolverine won't leave Deadpool alone, and much like the Punisher of the 90's, don't ruin your welcome Logan Son! This issue was given to me by the boardie MustEatBrains at a contest or board raffle, and it is credited to his generosity! Times are tough for back issues, as the market has exploded in what I collect. I now have the time now to have stuff sent off to CGC that has been accumulated, and it is making the grade, in most cases. Yes at 7.5 we can't look a gift horse in the mouth. We have to retain what we've been blessed with, much like the Wolverine's ADAMANTIUM in this run! These Deadpool/Wolverine encounters won't always be as blessed with the art! Of Liefeld even? LOL.
 Deadpool, Jim Lee style, for comparison.
Complete with a sketch by Joe Rubenstein, that is an example of this time periods usual art for Logan or the Wolverine. I got it for $60 at Fan Expo Dallas Comic Con 2019 and used it as a back cover pic to show as a comparison to Liefeld. Rubenstein took his time on it and termed it "Happy Logan!" I tend to AGREE!

Homage to Hulk 340! Given to me in the Green Eggs Contest 2018 by musteatbrains! Very generous boardie, who gave me a bunch of $10-20 books at the time that most came back 9.4! Very Generous, and I love this Deadpool and Wolverine Mash-UP COVER! Not quite classic, but it does have spunk. Deadpool is hard to take seriously sometimes, with all the sarcasm. He should pick one personality and stick to it. These early on appearances built a character in Deadpool, but with the eager writers, they never settled on what he is now known for until later. Looking back again, he had chutzpah and keeps with the attitude. They started out like a rebel without a cause. Today it's just strung along, until he means business by giving a lot of bullets. Deadpool is not the hard ruled: a little liberal and a little giving, sometimes too much.
 The art of some surrounding issues that might prove these Liefeld to be a blessing!
Complete with back cover picture of the insides to this issue, specifically the splash centerfold page from my newsstand under copy of this book I found for $1! I mean I've got to leave no man nor book behind, sometimes, and the Wolverine needs to take a slice of the pie in the sarcastic Deadpool.

SIGNED BY EDGAR DELGADO & HUMBERTO RAMOS ON 3/12/24. Nitro, Iron Man & Namor apperance. Marc Guggenhem story. Humberto Ramos & Carlos Cuevas cover/art. These are the bones that can live. Are these to speak of the flesh then being wrapped around sinews? Even the stones are able to make these cry out as seeds. These and other KJV related spectacles of wonders in miracle woven layers await at this door, life, and in breaking on through to the other side! This is the day that OZZY perished, and those that need not are awaiting the transition of life as well. We can do so and accept that this is the day of salvation at any time and as many times as cared for, it will make the stand for another generation to find their own stairs in the clouds. Bought this Ezekiel's boneyard summer, circa 2025, by my brother for an outing when the lender lent a hand and made all the more merciful towards an expected end!
Complete with a back cover picture of the "screen" at the prescreen before released to theaters of, "Sicario: Day of the Soldado!" It means as it says, we are dusted, musted, busted and stone cold flustered when it comes to our own way of being.

"Death of Sabretooth!" Crime Suspense Stories #22 Homage. It doesn't get much gruesome than the classic killer comics of old. Something of older evil, brought to court for infiltrating our youthful gaze. Too much to not rely on the good of a kind heart, who just cares out of Faithful portrayals. I've seen the merry go round before, yet I wish to get off more often than not. Crime and horror, equally distasteful to some, the need for order has been around since the 10 commandments. These are the rules, thank God, just to make you aware. Death of Sabretooth, for the reasons the Wolverine laid out in detail, that the wildness in us all is subject to a quick end. Less we go too far or buck wild. Sometimes the temperament between justification and the actual source of peace is the winner that proves tested and true.
 The regular cover to this issue by comparison.
Complete with back cover pic of the insides to this issue showing the decapitation! Feral and willing, but in full capacity of faculties shows "the end of sorts and sorted affairs." Still, with a death of Sabretooth this issue, we've got the "solution", however temporary, to a feud!

"Old Man Logan" storyline begins, or you could just say 1st ongoing self-titled of "Old Man Logan." Given some movie time, this was a hit of sorts, and although Logan was not the only main focus of the movie, it had new beginnings. Seemingly to "his death" in the film, many a fan turned out. The movie featured X-23 and Daken as well. Sometimes we get old, but still "go on adventures!" Ha-ha sounds like the funny farm, if only. These serious situations bring Logan on a world of discovery. After Logan had lived so long too. It might be fun to see what we survive to experience. Always up for a bout of exercise, the Wolverine has traded in his suit. An old man now remains to see what trouble he can obtain. I'm sure he just wants to leave something to other generations, perhaps that is a mix of actors and actresses' attitudes as well. It matters not the past, giving fun one last blast of ADAMANTIUM FILLED RAGE, berserker!
 The conclusion and final issue of this arc with Old Man Logan in Giant Size Wolverine.  With even a DC Homage winking back at good old Marvel!
Wraparound Covers like this try to tell me more of the story without flipping a single page. When on stands and they are not in a bag and board, the discovery usually piques my interest and speaks to me, and I pick it up and consider flipping through the book to delve into the series!

Mattina knocks it out with a Zombie Cover! Zombie...Dark Wolverine, and this issue takes on a life of its own! A 1:10 ratio variant found at Movie Trading Co for Cover Price. Woot! Woot! When I found it, I didn't believe the price, as it had 2 stickers on it. One sticker was from the store I was at and the other that must have come from whom they got it from. I went to the counter to double check, and yes! It was the cheaper price, and now it was mine. I knew it looked to be a part of the "Marvel Zombies" books or promotions that I had heard of, and it WAS a striking cover, so I wanted to know more. This store keeps all comics in bags and boards, and you are not really allowed to take it out to look at it. It appeared NM+, and YES! It was! Thrill of the hunt plays out with some reward to diligently apply oneself to the hobby and to make the best situation they can.
 The Wolverine stamina runs strong.
Complete with a back cover picture of the water on tattoos given away at the showing of Deadpool/Wolverine circa 2024, hoopla that featured anywhere from Gambit to Electra and on to Blade, while showing the water mark type rendition that engaged audiences and or Marvel Zombies! Much to everyone's delight with Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds going all out with even prizes showing up in claw machines at Dave and Busters, but don't forget your popcorn bucket!
