And... It's just stupid man, like, you don't even have to be anything remotely CLOSE to Wolverine expert to know he's got a metal noggin. Marvel editorial staff's for shit these days.

Oh I agree, it's dumb as hell.

Some were saying that his claws got pushed up, but it's really just a case of complete of ineptitude IMO.

Either the artist or the writer was like "... What..." and just never bothered to fix it. Or both

Jinzin!

Pretty sure the claws just got force back into his forearms, not through his head. I mean... I can't imagine Jason Aaron writing such a massive oversight, he's been on Wolverine for years.

^ C'mon now.

That's the only way a rational mind could have interrupted that feat. The points of his claws are even visible right against his skull...

^ Dispense with the needless embellishing. You're already trying too hard and it shows.

I think it was an artist error rather then a mistake by Aaron.

Woah Jin is back! 💃

Aaron wrote Thing mocking Wolverine, "Wolverine! Stop standing around stabbing yourself and do something useful!"

The claws are pretty clearly not inside of his head judging by the artists renderings...


Wolverine's claws come to a point. The points of the claws are visible outside of his head...

^ The claws are clearly stabbed into his skull. Also, we don't need you manipulating the scans with tinges of red coloring.

The "SHUNK" sound effect overlaid near his head (and not his forearm), the rivlets of blood trickling down his forehead into that small pool on the ground, Wolverine's arm being stuck into awkward position while unconscious, Wolverine being unconscious in the first place, three decidedly not pin-point sized holes on his mask wen he withdraws his claws, Wolverine's claws being covered in blood, and Thing mocking Wolverine for stabbing himself.

It's not hard. It really isn't.

i tend to agree with s-rank. wolverine's skull is also a lot harder than the force his muscles exert to keep his claws extended, not to mention against the force generated by gravage hulk slamming them into his adamantium brow

benefit of the doubt

Srank is right. And Aaron wrote Wolverine: Weapon X book in which Wolverine fought Strikeforce X... there's a panel in which Wolverine couldn't cut through mercenary's hand, because his hand bones (and the rest of the skeleton) were laced with adamantium. Stated on panel.

facepalm

Sound affects are placed for compositional reasoning... look at every other sound effect in those panels, relative to the position of the impact. You aren't doing yourself any favours calling that to attention.

The fatty area of the brow is where he was stabbed. There is about an inch flesh there, and anyone who watches fights can attest that that area will bleed like a stuck pig if cut, so much so that fights will be stopped because a fighter is bleeding so much that they can't see.

The points of the claws are visible on the outside of Wolverine's head... end of story.

Wolverine ain't Mindless Hulk driving the sharpest adamantium claws into adamantium. /shrug

This has nothing to do with what is clearly illustrated. Reading between the lines is rather irrelevant to simply reading the plain presentation of the comic.

^ it's just that there is conflicting information proving both "truths"

Ah, yes. Pretending that the sound effect, a deep *SHUNK,* which is placed correctly cannot somehow mean it is... placed correctly. Mhmm.

Fatty area... of... the brow. An inch of flesh (????????) which is to somehow explain Wolverine's entire arm being awkwardly stuck in position. As if your cro-magnon inch of thick forehead flesh (????????????) can somehow support Wolverine's entire arm being set into place. Genius.

I told you we didn't need your embellishing. We also didn't need you adding red tints to the scan either. We see Wolverine's claws stuck in his head.

This isn't hard.

There is nothing conflicting in the plain presentation of that comic. Pretending that people don't perform feats which wouldn't seem very possible beforehand in comics until they actually do... historically not really a good way to read comics.

So Wolverine healed from severe brain trauma in one page while having his claws embedded in said brain and simply pulled the claws out? They would be damn near stuck in his adamantium skull...

I personally think he stabbed through his skull, but the artist forgot his head was made out of the same shit as his claws.

Was it proven that a sharp point of a material cannot penetrate a sheet of the same material? and this with the Hulk strength.
