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.

That is my point. We need maybe 5 x-title/Wolverine books total.

On one hand I agree that there are too many Wolverine titles/one-shot/mini-series out there, especially for the devoted fanbase to keep up with, but I guess they have to be doing well, otherwise they wouldn't publish so many, just to lose money.

For me personally, I've reached an age (and financial level) where I choose to go with the titles or arcs based on each character that appeals to me most, depending on creative team and the hook of the story itself. Because, unfortunately, I can't afford it all like when I was single and without a child.

I believe the overwhelming influx of Wolverine one-shots, specials, and limited series are in direct relation to the fact that Mark Millar has had the Old Man Logan storyline going in the regular series. Normally they'd insert most of the stories that have become one-shots/special into the occasional gaps between story arcs. Or books like Wolverine: Manifest Destiny would have been one of those story-arcs.

However because Old Man Logan is what it is, that isn't the case. I'm sure it will pass now that Wolverine: Weapon X is starting up though.

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?
