It cost how much?
It took how long to read?
It could have been written by just about anyone...
At the end of the day, all we have is great art in this issue and even that is disappointing because it is mostly spreads and two panels.

It is a nice package of what everyone outside of comics complains about - lite on story, all about the art, never know when they come out, overpriced, if you haven't been reading it - it doesn't make sense. It is everything we want fixed in one package with big fat Marvel bow on it. So, yeah, we should be pissed.

If it had come out on time, or better yet, this had been included in the last issue and that was giant sized long ass titled comic book #1, then I wouldn't be pissed.

Nothing about this issue is mind blowing, nothing about this issue will get more people to buy Wolverine comics or comics in general.

Punchy wrote:None of that matters if the comic was enjoyable to read. It brought many of us plasure, whether it was late, or expensive, or too much art, it's irrelevant if the actual book is awesome.

And I disagree that this could have been written by anyone, this was a Mark Millar joint through and through.

Punchy wrote:Was it really? I think we needed to see this release, ending the story on the unsheathing of the claws would piss people off, and there was also plot stuff like the Baby Hulk that wasn't in Wolverine #72.

And just because it wasn't the best book ever doesn't mean it's bad.

thefourthman wrote:I never said it was BAD. I gave it a seven, I even called it above average and that is right smack at the beginning of good. I didn't even rate it lower for the wait and cost.

I'm just saying, we should be pissed, but instead everyone is acting like it is the second coming.

Just because you're angry doesn't mean everyone else has to be.

thefourthman wrote:But why aren't you mad? It cost two dollars more than a regular comic so that they could print all the covers, which you already have bigger or didn't want to spend extra on, over again. There were no behind the scenes extras and it wasn't bigger than a book DC would charge you the same price for. Plus we waited forever...

Does the health of the industry which relates directly to the health of the medium not matter to you at all?
