Does anyone else miss the days when you could read about the X-Men and Wolverine in only 1 or 2 comics a month and not miss an appearance? I was looking at Dig's latest X-Men cover post and I have to admit that i kind of miss the old days when Wolvie and the X-Men were only in one or two comics a month. |

I don't mind four or five. Like X-Force, New Avengers, and a few solo issues. It's the guest appearances and one shots that kill me. It honestly stops me from collecting other comic books. |

I completely agree, because I am not "rich enough" to afford all of these extra series' of my beloved X-titles. Especially when the series are of lackluster quality more often than not. |

Yeah. I had to stop collecting Street Fighter and Army of Darkness, because I didn't want to miss out on any Wolverine information. But if it makes you feel any better, almost nothing important ever happens in the one shots. Though recently in "Wolverine: Messiah Complex" something really important happened. Do you want to know? |

Logan becomes a champion fighter and is now called "The Black Dragon". This is after training with a martial artist master, and rediscovering how to bring out the potential he had all along. He mentions that he has had lots and lots of training before, but he also notes that this master is superior to all previous teachers. This is a huge upgrade in Wolverine chronology. Because now the story will continued to be told in "Wolverine: Weapon X" and some of the other Uncanny X-Men titles. So now we call look forward to better Wolverine stories, that don't focus on his healing factor and the boring "Wolverine injury" of the day. I bet you were getting sick of seeing Logan blown up or mutilated right? |

I don't mind seeing Wolverine in a few books, but it's getting majorly excessive. One of Joe Q's big things when he came to Marvel was to cut down on the X-books and Wolverine apps. Now we have more than ever of both. Wolverine: First Class, Uncanny X-Men: First Class, Uncanny X-Men, Astonishing X-Men, New Avengers, Dark/Wolverine, Wolverine: Weapon X, Wolverine Origins, X-Men Forever (non-canon), Marvel Adventures: Avengers (non-canon), countless one-shots and limited series, and so on. I don't mind if the character is in a few books, but they're really getting out of hand with Wolverine and the X-books in general. |

I love Logan in the Na issues, it gives him a diff team personality. With the Na, he's with his drinking buddies, with X-men family, X-force a covert op killin squad. |

I agree, but there's a bit too much oversaturation of Wolverine in the various other titles. And too many X-titles in general. The coming months are going to be especially bad as they go into Wolverine film mode. |
