On the one hand, I look forward to reading Wolverine<\/i> under the writing reins of Greg Rucka. Even when I was semi-obsessive about collecting X-titles, I never followed Wolverine; it felt too much like a “Hey, this character is popular, so anyone will buy a comic with his name on it, no matter how stupid it is” sort of book. I have high hopes for Rucka’s tenure.<\/p>\n
On the other hand, I despise the modern practice of restarting title numbering to make it “fresh” and “exciting.” It’s appalling that Wolverine <\/i>was Marvel’s second-highest numbered series before it gets rebooted back to #1 in May. It’s even more appalling that there are now, aside from Uncanny X-Men<\/i>, no titles published by Marvel that have numbering from before the 1990s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
