The conditioning and simulations make Weapon X more complicated than just following Logan from being captured to getting loose. There are things he experiences that are being manipulated. You can watch something happen and then have to reco...
A lot of Weapon X follows the Professor, Cornelius and Hines while they're working on Logan. They're watching him, discussing what they're doing and trying to figure out how to get the results they want. Meanwhile, he's the one having all o...
Weapon X is the Barry Windsor-Smith story that ran in Marvel Comics Presents #72–84 in 1991. It's set earlier in Logan's life, so by the time this was published, readers had already had years of Wolverine in the X-Men and in his own stories...
By this point, there's a lot more to work with than the guy who jumped into that Hulk fight. He has a past in Canada that keeps catching up with him. He has Mariko and everything that comes with being involved in her life. Kitty needs thing...
“Save the Tiger” in Marvel Comics Presents #1–10 and the opening of the 1988 Wolverine series give Logan a lot to do in Madripoor. You've got the Princess Bar, Tyger Tiger, crime bosses, people with money and people trying to survive. There...
By Uncanny X-Men #212–213, Sabretooth feels a lot more threatening. He's involved in the Mutant Massacre, and now he's fighting Wolverine. This is the first fight between them that readers see published, but they already know each other in...
Then there's Spectacular Spider-Man #116 and #119. These are particularly bad days for Sabretooth. In #116, Spider-Man gets involved while Creed is hunting Black Cat. Peter gets slashed, but he webs Creed's face. Creed gets so determined to...
Sabretooth starts out in Iron Fist #14, and Danny beats him even though Danny is temporarily snow-blind. Creed is strong and fast, but Danny can tell his fighting technique isn't on the same level. He's able to use that against him even wit...
Kitty Pryde and Wolverine takes Kitty to Japan because of her father, and then Ogun gets hold of her. He's one of the last people she needs to meet. Ogun was Wolverine's teacher, and he tries to turn Kitty into an assassin. That leaves Loga...
Mariko first appears in X-Men #118. By the time you get to the 1982 Wolverine miniseries, Logan has a very personal reason to be in Japan, and things have gone badly wrong for her. Her father, Shingen, has married her off. Logan wants to he...
X-Men #132–133 gives you Wolverine loose inside the Hellfire Club while the rest of the team is in serious trouble. They've already knocked him out of the fight, or at least they think they have. He comes back from below and starts going th...
There's a little scene in X-Men #109 that says a lot about how the others see Wolverine at this point. He wants to go hunting, and Storm assumes he means killing an animal. He's talking about sneaking up close enough to touch it. That's the...
Giant-Size X-Men #1 is where Xavier recruits him for the team going after the missing X-Men. Logan leaves his Canadian job, joins up, and almost immediately you've got another problem for whoever has to lead this group. He's argumentative....
Wolverine first shows up in the last panel of Incredible Hulk #180. #181 is the full appearance everybody knows, and he's back briefly in #182. So when people bring up #180 versus #181, that's the difference. One introduces him at the end;...
Going back through Wolverine's early appearances, there's a lot here that's easy to forget. He shows up to fight Hulk and Wendigo, joins the X-Men, and then you spend years finding out who this guy actually is. His name, his past in Canada,...
I'm in the middle of X-Factor #66 right now, working through #65–68 to read the whole Endgame storyline, and it's been an amazing read so far. I want to talk about Apocalypse's strategy up to this point, because the way he puts this attack...
10/10 One month later, Shang is alive and meeting with the realm leaders. The Age of Darkness has been reversed, but they still have problems that weren't there before it began. Highborn are no longer completely secret on Earth. More of the...
9/10 When they return, Las Vegas is a city again. The ruined world is gone. Sela and Britney are standing beside Malec, now back in his human appearance, looking at what they've changed. Britney immediately wonders what this means for Robyn...
