Or did Ewing retcon this again in his new Thor run, I forget.
Me neither, but I think it was never actually explained how he could stick together since bones are usually not directly connected with each other. I was always seeing this like "comic laws" it's just the way it is.
IIRC Stilt once had a theory of little hooks that keep everything together or something.
Originally posted by DarkSaint85Yeah but that applies for all other bones too, so in theory you should be able to entirely tear him apart (with Hulk strength), no bone is actually connected to the next one with bone structure it's alwas ligaments, cartilage and muscle.
I mean, the Ultimates explanation was that one's back isn't solid bone - there are discs of cartilage in between the vertebrae.
I always saw this as comics being comics, similar to adventure movies where they find pirate skeletons still sitting in chairs. Makes no actual sense but for the movie I'll give it a pass. Same for Spider-Man sticking to walls while wearing boots.

Reminds me of Ultimate Hulk. Is this canon? Thought Logan 616 couldn't be ripped apart like that
It is canon. Wolverine's own series, in fact.
Most likely explanation is that Forge messed up the adamantium bonding process --- as this isn't the first time it happened during the Krakoan Era of X-Men.
Of course, at the same time, Logan still gets plenty of durability feats disproving the above theory, such as being reduced to a bare skeleton and still in one piece --- comics.

Microscopic chains thing is more of a myth supposedly mentioned in one of the letter columns.
Official on-panel explanation would be how Logan's entire skeletal structure and adamantium were bonded on the molecular level and got often depicted by many artists as some Terminator construct rather than human bones.
