OH. Now I remember why I stopped reading so many comics in the 90s. They should sue the editors for the wages they earned sitting on their asses and not correcting this crap.

Seeing the art from this comic just makes me feel so much better that I stopped buying most all mainstream comics by the mid 1990′s.

That’s just some ugly, ugly artwork.

My favorite part of the cover is that the only asian girl has big, round eyes and everyone else is squinting.

We need to bring back POG references in comics. They would make any book better.

” The pogs reference, however, is brilliant. ”

Retconned in later tellings to say, ” We ain’t here to download iPhone Apps, junior. “

Oh my stars and garters, this looks to be a dreadful comic.

The “chomp” I can understand, but the “crunch” indicates Wolverine also eats the bones.

The pogs reference, however, is brilliant.

Jesus Humperdoo Christ, is that really how ridiculous Logan’s hair got? I almost expect to see an afro pick sticking out…

I don’t mind the story too much, since it obviously wasn’t meant as much more than a way to boost GenX’s sales by giving them exposure in the Wolverine comic. In fact, it sounds more like a fill-in than any thing else. Though why Sean and Emma wanted Wolverine to teach the kids to fight when they knew he was going through a “feral” stage IS confusing. I do agree that the story doesn’t feel like it achieved anything: the kids did not learn anything practical, the “pooka” wasn’t explained (and as mentioned above, didn’t go away). As a stand alone comic it fails, but it feels like it was never intended that way.

So, it’s not possible to defeat an opponent by rendering them unconscious?

Sadly, this would not be the last time we saw the Massachusetts Academy pooka, as it played a key role in Hama’s excreble run on Generation X.

I was getting Wolverine monthly at this time, and honestly, these issues weren’t any better in context. The whole let’s really screw with our characters thing in the 1990s was brutal all around.

I remember thinking Hama’s run on Wolverine was very good at the time, but I stopped buying comics before this issue. And I haven’t re-read the issues since they first came out, so maybe my opinion would change now. But the stuff he did with Silvestri and in that period I remember liking a lot.
