So Very Tired of Wolverine

Posted on February 21st, 2009 by by Manic

Back in 1974, a clawed little Canadian man appeared as an antagonist in an issue of The Incredible Hulk. One year later, he popped up as a new recruit in the X-Men. Overall, he wasn’t that interesting in those days. He was almost written out of the book in favor of giving more panel time [...]

If you were born at any point after the year 1955, chances are you’re familiar with Jonny Quest. Not because it was a long running cartoon, however, as the original show aired for exactly one year before being cancelled. No, ratings weren’t low. It was just ridiculously expensive.

I’d like to apologize for not posting a second new entry last week, but I can explain. I’m superhumanly lazy. I’m also still trying to map out [...]
