resp:27 keep your eyes peeled for me, would you, Luke? I've got a
frightfully busy schedule for a while and no cash that isn't already dedicated
to other purposes.

as far as I can see, they are continuing to delay the possibility of
Wolvie getting back any adamantium.

According to present Wolverine writer, Erik Larsen,
Wolverine will indeed get his adamantium back in Wolverine #145.
Will this improve the character? I dunno..

heh, Marvel just decides to give its characters a challenge and a change
every so often. I'm not sure if Capt. America got back his original
shield, for example..isn't he still carrying that energy one?
returning the adamantium, I think, will just be a people pleas

i've actually forgotten what Wolverine was like WITH adamantium so i
don't much care if he has it or not.. i think Cap either has or soon
will have his original shield back..

really? Hmmm, I'm not sure, either, but the adamantium was said to have
repressed his feral instincts somewhat. I have said it was harder for Wolvie
to fight without the adamantium because he had to think harder to make up for
the disadvantage. Apparently, he thinks harder not just to compensate for the
physical damage loss..and that his claws can now be broken, but he has to fight
to repress the animal urges now.
That's why I found it interesting they gave Sabertooth adamantium. One more
plot development, and *BAM* he had a sense of honor that drove him crazy.
I'm sure you remember the Seige Perilous story. Since Wolvie didn't pass
through the Seige Perilous, being nailed to a crucifix, he suffered a reduced
health factor due to the trauma of ripping himself off. Thereafter, his body
began rejecting the adamantium transplants, causing him excruciating pain from
time to time. He was quoted as saying pain was good for him. By the way,
Jubilee was with him at the time he went down-- she didn't pass through the
Seige Perilous either-- and I wonder if Marvel ever decided to make good on
that fact with another story idea.
I think I also mentioned that this was akin to the fact DC has been giving
Superman numerous challenges-- Superman and Batman have been compared in..I
believe it was this conference, and it was Batman himself who pointed out Supe
could beat anyone with his hands tied behind his back. Interesting to see the
writers noted what we did here. I think Marvel has been doing this to Wolvie
just to promote some better character development. I still disagree that
keeping him mysterious and as a supporting character would have been the best
idea-- I've liked some of the challenges.

hehehe.. too late. Everything that Marvel has said in recent issues
(editorials, I mean) seem to say that Wolvie *will* get his adamantium
back, and probably in issue #145 or so.

btw, this is Wolvie's 25 anniversary, I think, so..
(they had a promo with the hook that the anniversary probably should be
adamantium instead of silver)

i think issue #145 is next month so we'll know then and
there should be some sort of hints in #144 which i'll be
picking up tomorrow on the weekly comic shop run.
