–Wolverine #50 (Preview): The much anticipated ‘final’ confrontation between Sabretooth and Wolverine by Jeph Loeb and Simone Bianchi hit stores this week. Based on the emails I’ve received on this issue, I’ve decided to post my feelings in more depth than usual. This issue was a huge disappointment for me. This was supposed to be a seminal issue and it felt like they are trying to stretch this story out over multiple issues. Don’t get me wrong. I like multi-part stories. But there was so much posturing and the fight sequence was so bland. These are supposed to be of the best fighters in the Marvel Universe. Where is the amazing fight?

–Wolverine: Origins #10 (Preview): I really don’t want to spoil anything about this one, but I’m not sure I liked this issue.

For the New Year, I’ve started a rewrite and a slight redesign for Wolverine Files. Nothing major, but I felt the pages needed a slightly subtler color scheme and tightening of the text. So over the next few weeks you will find a dark brown border and search added to the rewritten pages that I am dubbing version 2.0.

So far I have updated the main page (this page), 000: The True Origin and 001: Wild Child.

Talk about a lot of Wolverine appearances. This week featured nine new comics with Wolverine. Whew!

–Astonishing X-Men #19 (Mini-Preview): This is what Uncanny X-Men used to be like. Whedon and Cassaday rock.
–Wolverine: Origins #9 (Preview): Crap. Crap. Crap. I may need a major rewrite to make this story fit now.
–Cyberforce/X-Men #1 (Preview): Fun crossover… probably takes place in the 1990s.
–Nextwave: Agents of Hate #11 (Cover): Monkey Wolverines with banana bombs. I kid you not.
–Ultimate Power #3 (Cover): I think Wolverine’s claws appear briefly in one panel.
–Avengers Next #4 (Cover): Classic non-appearance appearance. I hate non-appearance appearances.
–What If? Age of Apocalypse (Preview): Interesting story with some cool Wolverine moments.

–All-New Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe A to Z #12 (Cover): Includes the X-Babies and Wild Thing.
