Death of Wolverine

[ygogolak]

Talking to my file LCS owner, all of the stores here ordered big and the first issue to sell out across the city is...............#2. Anyone else seeing similar trends in their locales?

Is that normally the case with these type of books? Order heavy for #1 and then cut your losses for #2?

 

I still see #1 in my area, but no #2 or 3...

 

Let's see what Chuck thinks:

#1 $9.95

#2 $14.95

#3 $7.50

#4 $7.50

 

The pony tail has spoken.

Interesting. I might have to start putting up sets on craigslist at $40 apiece to see what happens.

Just finished #4 last night. Not too bad. Wolverine covered in Adamantium, on his knees, facing a sunset was nicely thought of.

Went to 2 LCS yesterday. Talked with the guys and they said they pretty much sold out on all the issues 1 - 4. There was less than a handful remaining but those were beat up pretty bad from handling.

Did anyone else read The Weapon X Program?

I'm happy with my copy of #1.

Curious question about the ending...

 

 

Is there anyone in the Marvel universe who can cut or melt Adamantium? Theoretically, could Logan have taken a revival vial or had his healing factor kick back in and is still alive inside the Adamantium?

Back in the early 90s when I was still collecting the 1988 run, when Magneto stripped him of the adamantium his healing factor was weakened as well. I believe the theory was that it helped augment his healing factor if I recall correctly. Not sure if that held into the 00s though.

[slym2none]

IIRC, that is incorrect. The adamantium actually retarded his healing factor. After the adamantium was removed, I remember him being run over by an 18-wheeler big-rig in one issue of Wolverine, and going from flat-line dead back to perfectly normal in a matter of seconds.

Yeah, I thought the gimmick was that the adamantium was slowly poisoning him and it took a good portion of his natural healing factor in order to keep it from killing him. Didn't he survive a direct blast from a nuclear explosion and/or Gambit detonating his bo inside Wolverine's skull?
