From my experience with fans, people either love or hate Wolverine. It’s hard to believe that Wolverine had been around for some 14 years or so before getting his own ongoing. So with a bit of trepidation I jumped over 10 years forward to Wolverine #1! So I went all the way back to the start of the Claremont era and figured I’d read EVERYTHING and learn the characters this way. A roster page of 9 crude pictures doesn’t help me “know” the characters. More times than not I had absolutely no idea of the history, characters powers, strengths, weaknesses etc… I actually felt stupid for not understanding a few books. I tried to jump on board with the current run of X books but failed miserably. After 30 plus years away from comics trying to get a grasp on the X-men a daunting task. In full transparency I’m not a Wolverine or X-men expert. It took fourteen long years for him to finally get his own ongoing series. Art: John Buscema, Al Williamson, and Tom Orzechowskiīy 1988 Wolverine was a fully established character.
