What is your favorite Wolverine moment? It could be in the pages of the X-Men or in his own solo series. It does really matter. I personally loved it when he got his memories back in the "House of M" story line. That scene followed by his leap off of the air craft was great. This moment is followed closely by the moment he unleashed his bone claws in Wolverine 75. I remember the sound of my jaw hitting the floor followed by the noise of my amazement.  It was a big moment in Wolverine history for all of us fans. |

My favorite moment was in Uncanny X-Men #111 after Wolvie breaks free of his chains and threatens to pop his claws on the guard at the count of five. (i.e one, two, four, fi...) |

Templedog... THAT is the moment that turned me into a Wolverine fan for life. But my favorite has to be the final panel of X-Men #132 (as seen on the main page of this forum). Okay suckers, you've taken yer best shot. Now it's MY turn! You can also see it in my Classic Covers column at the bottom. |

The two instances that were mentioned issues #111 and #132 were the two that made me into a die hard X-Men fan in general and a Wolverine fan specifically. The other was issue 140 of the Uncanny X-Men in general where Logan had to talk Snowbird down after she took down Wendigo. I love Wolverine, but I have one problem with him and that is he does not seem to have a clearly defined motive for being a hero. Tthe following characters seem to have clearly defined motives: Superman-moral responsibility instilled by his parents Batman-guilt and obsession over his parents death Punisher-revenge for his families' murder. Spider-man-responsibility instilled by Uncle Ben Cyclops-a soldier of sorts devoted to Xavier's dream. Captain America-patriotism Daredevil-guilt over his father's death. The closest motivation that I can quess is that Wolverine adheres to Xavier's dream and is willing to do whatever needs to be done to protect those he cares about. There closest comic panel i can recall off the top of my head is the last pages or so of issue 3 of the Wolverine limited series. Can someone help me pin down the Logan's defining moment that explains his motivation for chosing to be a hero? |

I absolutely agree that it's the final page of Wolverine #3 (Limited Series). It is the failed samurai who never gives up, no matter the odds, no matter the futility. In fact, I am writing a Wolverine miniseries (not that Marvel knows about it), that deals with exactly this issue. It takes places between the time he is found by the Hudsons and becoming Wolverine. And I think it is a critical time about this development as a hero that has been grossly overlooked. |

It's hard to say the best moment, but I think the best story of Wolverine is Uncanny X-Men 161-166, when the X-Men are kidnapped by the Brood. That's where I saw Logan's emotions at his best. |

For art, storyline, and definition of character, that final page in #3 (Claremont) absolutely grabs me. I also like the end of Wolverine's conversation with Nightcrawler in "So, a Priest Walks into a Bar" (Rucka) where after some soul-searching, they're standing in the rain, and Wolverine quietly says "I'm not an animal...I'm not." Now about this miniseries...is this with the thought of a graphic novel or a full-fledged prose novel in the mode of the recent Marvel paperback novels series? Either way, I'm excited, and wish you every success. That would be something I, among many others, I'm sure, would love to read. Keep at it!!! I've read some of the Marvel Wolverine novels -- some good, some indifferent, and some I haven't read got really bad reviews at Amazon. |

Before I realized how horrible Frank Tieri was , this issue was one of my favorites. http://wolverine.x-knights.com/wolverine176.html Keep in mind I didn't read the story before this and I simply bought it for Logan's experience in "heaven". Of course they should just retcon this issue all together, since now it's revealed Logan has to fight the angel of death before he dies. (Or maybe retcon the whole Angel of Death thing) *shrungs* Either way it was cool for a newbie. |
