Least Interesting Wolverine Story. Ever.
Dear Marvel Comics,
I like Wolverine. I like him a lot. But you need to lay off all the different comic lines surrounding him. Seriously, it's getting ridiculous. The main series was great, but Origins is idiotic, and I still maintain that the creation of Daken was one of the dumbest moves ever. I seem to recall you started to overdue it with all the X-Men comic series, and where did you end up? Oh, right, bankrupt.
So, seriously, who cares about a one-shot where Wolverine gets blinded (in one of the lamest ways ever). You even acknowledge that it's only a temporary thing, so it sounds like the there really isn't any real reason to read the upcoming Wolverine: Firebreak.
Hit the jump in order to read the press release. I'll be over here, crying on my pillow.
The odds are stacked against Logan in Wolverine: Firebreak! A fast-burning chemical-based forest fire temporarily blinds Wolverine, and forces him to rely on his four remaining senses while leading a lost family out of the forest to safety! This brand-new one-shot story by acclaimed author Mike Carey (X-Men) and fan favorite artist Scott Kolins (Omega Flight) also features the enigmatic men and women of the terrorist group Advanced Idea Mechanics (A.I.M.). Will Wolverine still be the best at what he does, when he only has four senses to rely upon? And what exactly is A.I.M. doing in the middle of the woods?“Fan-favorite X-Men scribe, Mike Carey with the help of the fantastic Scott Kolins, has delivered a classic Wolverine story that cuts to the heart of that character’s nobility and heroism,” says Wolverine: Firebreak editor Aubrey Sitterson. “Also, as a special treat, a back-up story from up-and-comers Macon Blair and Vasilis Lolos!”
Wolverine played with fire… and now he’s about to get burned as everyone’s favorite Can-knucklehead combats an uncontrollable conflagration in Wolverine: Firebreak!

Paradox. Fast healing = you can regenerate your sight back, Logan. Quit dicking around in the fire.
... Logan, Logan, Logan.
The Canada Code prevents me from specifically hating you as we have to back our countrymen, fictional or otherwise. But seriously. First you're in EVERY form of the X-Men, then you muck up protecting Captain America from a possibly Skrull-controlled alcoholic, and now you wander into a fire and go blind? How is that even possible? Marvel. Your creativity called. It misses you and wants to come home.
Wolverine has always been one of my least favorite X-men.
I just never really cared about what happened to him.
This being the same Logan who regenerated his whole body (hair gel included) from a skeleton in 10 minutes, Marvel?
Just so we're clear.
Wolverine stories get worst every year. The original "Origins" story (unrelated to the series) was interesting, but that's about all that comes to mind.
Awwwww, sometimes I like wolverine but most times not so much.
