Sorry Capt but Loebs run on Wolverine sucks. The story is bad and Wolverine's dialogue makes him come off as a parody of himself.

Honestly Wolverine hasn't had anything resembling a good run in going on five years now (maybe more). Sure some times we get great stand alone issues like Wolverine 41 and "fun" runs like EotS... but when was the last time Wolverine had a good, must read story arc? Law of the Jungle by Frank Tieri? Not Dead Yet by Ellis? Its been awhile regardless. Wolverine's books have been mismanaged for a long, long time now. You'd think he'd be due for a good run... even if it happens by accident. Someone needs to sight down and decide what the want to do with Wolverine; both of his solo titles need to be reworked and he is in desperate in need of retcon.

I like it, but I will agree he has not had a great run in a long time. he had some good ones, but nothing like his ba'al runs like back in the early days. He really needs a great run. I actaully really liked issue 31 by miller,but thats just me ( I mean the nazi one)

No, I actually like the fact that he was reincarnated. I have a problem with him not being a human mutant, thats all. Reincarnated? Sure. Some stupid "Lupus Sapien"? No, I dislike that a lot.

Taking the ****ing piss. Give it a rest with the ****ing retcon.

DarkCrawler KABOOOOM!!

Anyone want to try and invent time machine, so we could go and abduct Claremont from 80's and force him to write Wolverine? Those Wolverine stories put every Logan thing that appears nowadays to shame.

Wolverine? Pft, Claremont wrote the best Prof.X ever!

He didn't take any sh*t from anybody 😎

His current body is the body of James Howlett who was born in the late 1900s, but he has lived previous lives (four of which have been accounted for to date). So far we know he was reincarnation the original "Hand of God" who battled with Ba'al as well as the reincarnation of no less then three Japanese people in Feudal Japan... this Loeb arc just expands on all that I guess. Think Hawkman.

So now Wolverine is basically a cheap ripoff of Hawkman dots

Except without all the cool history and whatnot

He also wrote (notice the past tense) the best Shadowcat, Rogue, Colossus, Storm, Magneto...and pretty much every X-character he got his hands on. Nowadays, he is pretty senile or something, because his recent stories suck ass.

It was part of his character from the start I'm pretty sure.

Hawkman first appeared in Flash Comics # 1 (1940), and was a featured character in that title throughout the 1940s. This Hawkman was Carter Hall, a reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian prince.

Do you think Nabu served him back then?

When Jay Garrick went to the past early in the last series of JSA, he met Prince Khufu, Nabu, and the champion Teth Adam.

Prince Khufu being Hawkman.

Yeah he did and so did Black Adam, scans from the respect thread.

Past Lives
---------------------------------------------
JSA #21-22 [Vol.4]: Prince Khufu Kha-Taar & Kendra Saunders
Flash goes over 3500 years back into the past to ancient Egypt where he runs into Hawkman's original life as the ruler of Egypt. Here Khufu explains where they first found the nth metal and his servants Nabu and Black Adam follow ever order he makes. Nabu eventually gives Jay the Claw of Horus to take back to the present as Hawkman will be returning from death to fight Synn. This also explains the life and the aftermath of Kendra which resulted in her becoming the new Hawkgirl.

It may have been mentioned, but I'll ask again.

Has it been revealed why Wolverine and Sabertooth are getting these lupine memories now? I understand the lupine-mutant thing, but why are the memories being triggered now, as opposed to five years ago, or ten years from now?

It seems that Sabretooth has known all along, but Wolverine's been, more or less, amnesiatic his entire life. Up till HoM which restored all of Logan's memories.
