And now it’s been released that there will be yet ANOTHER OG Wolverine mini-series coming out in September preceding the new Wolverine ongoing, the Return of Wolverine. This is some trumped-up bullshit, Marvel. Readers are spending buckets of cash trying to keep up with the return of such a popular character, and you’re taking advantage of them.

This could have been a powerful, succinct return, a return that could have boosted the numbers on any of the X-books greatly, but instead we have several superfluous minis heralding the return of an ongoing that should’ve been out last October. And don’t get me wrong: I LOVED the Hunt for Wolverine one-shot, I thought it hit just the right amount of nostalgia coupled with the right empathic stakes… But four minis? This is just overkill. This is a good story stretched out over far too many issues, diluting the emotional resonance and fervor of a returning character.

...Also, heated claws are asinine.
