    Sorry but when ever I see "Chris Claremont" I get a little nauseous. What he did to the Willow universe was unforgivable and just badly done. It was like he was channeling Fox network.

    "Unfortunately, the general consensus in comics is that a character's death means The End".

    What?

    This is the X-Men. Where everyone on the team has died at least once and been resurrected.

    @omgwtflolbbqbye: Claremont is a liar. He killed Psylocke and then brought her back and said he meant to do it all.

    @omgwtflolbbqbye: Personally, I'm hoping for a feature length adaptation of a What If...? Or maybe combine the 12 or so issues where Wolverton was killed off.

    I also like that quote b/c the number of characters in comics whose deaths meant The End is dwarfed by the number of characters in comics whose deaths meant maybe a month or two out of circulation.

    And sure, nobody's been able to do it in the normal continuity, but killing Wolverine in some potential future or alternate past is practically a cliche. Actually, not practically. But then, I haven't been reading Marvel lately so maybe it's not as common as it was during the nineties.

    They would never kill off Wolvie in any feature film. They couldn't do it with Superman, and it'd be the same as killing off Bond in a Bond film. Never happen.

    Sometimes I think there is some backlash because Wolvie's so popular, which is why maybe Claremont wanted to kill him.

    I'll just be happy if the movies get better. I haven't seen the first, and I'm on the fence whether I ever should, from what I've heard.

    @TemporalSword: Deadpool shoots Cyclops' laser beams out of his eyes.

    If that doesn't cause spams of Nerd Rage, then maybe you can sit through Wolverine:Origins. I know I couldn't.

    @engtech: I agree. Yet, Liev Shreiber grabs Will-Eye-Pea by the spine. Dude grabs him by the spine.
    Perplexing and oddly satisfying, so I say Nerd Rage=Satiated.

    DC's Rebels is one of the best books out right now. The sociopath Vril Dox absolutely shines in this Science Fiction Opera. I plug this book for purely selfish reasons because I don't want it to get canceled. A very underrated book!
