I am kidding with you Comusiv, you know I love reading your detailed opinions on my favorite comic book character. Seriously it is fans like you that are keeping this community alive. =)

First off any Wolverine comic penciled by Adam Kubert makes me weak in the knees. I have a big weak spot for Adam Kubert since the days Larry Hama wrote the book. Though I must admit I am slightly disappointed in how he designed DOG, I wasn’t expecting him to look like a red nosed drunk. Other then that I am giggling like high school girl at a boy band concert over Kubert’s return to Wolverine…….. What? I am the only one giggling like a school girl? Screw you DiG ! You told me that was normal comic book fan boy behavior.

The only thing I can seriously contribute to this discussion is simply this: Did you expect anything less from Marvel? Of course I ask that question with a great deal of sarcasm. My feeling is that this book would of been received in a more positive light if Marvel took their stories seriously. However as we all know we won’t ever seen stories coincide with each other, like they did back in the old Claremont days when Wolverine was on only one super hero team.

One thing that I do disagree with is that I believe unlike Marvel, by the end of the story Jason Aaron will have carried on the events of this book into his future stories that involve Spider-Man and Wolverine. And while it might not have a humongous impact on all the writers that work on these two characters together like this, it will be good enough to me that at least one writer is taking his writing seriously. Proof of Jason Aaron doing this is in past writings that involve Mystique, I have witnessed many times that he referenced Logan’s exchange with Mystique in the Got Mystique story arc many years ago.

That is what separates Jason Aaron from the other writers who simply do it for the money alone. You don’t have to dig that far to see how he dusts off old character events and puts them back on the table again. He treats the old fans with the respect they deserve, by keeping things fresh and yet acknowledging that the old stories we supported did happen. I realize I must sound like a religious preacher, so for a limited time only I am going to allow Comusiv to refer to me as Gospel Preacher Gabe. I am only putting this one on the table for a month. ;)
