WOLVERINE!!!!!

[telophase]

Just came back from Wolverine, and I had a very enjoyable time. The movie was exactly what I expected, and I expected Wolverine's ass. I did not expect great scriptwriting, involving plot, great acting, or much of anything else.

The plot was, of course, Yet Another Marvel Retcon, but as the X-movieverse is a retcon of the comicverse, that's not surprising. And a trawl through Amazon.com to see what Weapon X stuff there is produced an approximate 2497358923749374 versions of Weapon X, Wolverine: Origis, and so on.

Color me so surprised. *rolls eyes*

I quit reading the X-books about the point where Magneto pulled the adamantium out of Wolverine's bones* (and started reading them about the time the first Weapon X storyline started) - anyone out there know how many different versions of his origin there currently are?


* Spurred, actually, by stupid writing involving Sabretooth, of all people. He's my favorite evil villain, because I showed up in the X-verse right when they were doing interesting things with his character, and then someone screwed it all up again, completely reversing all the character-building they'd done, I got disgusted, and I left. If anyone actually wants me to rant about that, let me know.

The real problem with Deadpool, and the primary reason that I never got around to reading his stuff, is that he was, originally, a Liefield creation. And as such, had to suffer the indignities of being drawn and written by Liefield for a while. Once he became a parody of all things Liefieldian, he became entertaining.

The Deadpool Classic volumes (see below) include Deadpool's painfully ugly first appearance as done by Liefeld, but then they skip ASAP to the stuff by writers Joe Kelly and Fabian Nicieza, bless their hearts. (I am SO looking forward to getting my hands on Gail Simone's run also.)
