Except for the ambiguity of the scenario in question. All we actually see is Wolverine charging forward, with his upper body twisted in a “Imma about to gut you” stance, with bullets whizzing by him.
He then proceeds to get shot twice later on in the same page. So much for those "side-stepping abilities" of his helping him out there.

DD states it as a fact not a question nor with any doubt. Is DD prone to making falses statements? Nope.
Is he immune to using hyperbole either? No.

It does when on that very pannel some one is stating that the person is dodging the bullets.
Do you always automatically take every thing you read at face-value like this?
I’ve seen Batman avoid gunfire that was supposedly him dodging the bullets, but was really him dodging the aim. I’ve seen Colossus get very close to getting shot when bullets whizzed right by just inches from his face. I’ve seen a group of ordinary, normal citizens manage to duck down just in time to avoid bullets flying by where they were just standing.
I don’t chalk any of those moments to bullet-timing either, despite the people actually avoid getting shot like that.

Yes, it is. Pretty much every thing you listed as to how Wolverine could dodge a bullet is all fine and dandy, but doesn’t automatically pertain to this particular moment.
