Over the course of my comic book loving life, I've gone in and out of superhero phases. I've run the gamut from obscure indie autobiographical works to some of the cheesiest spandex muscle fests and for what it's worth, Wolverine still remains one of my most favorite comic book characters. He's short, furry, pretty much always aggravated, and the fact that he's been increidbly well written for the last decade gives him a bredth that few other characters possess while still keeping the reader guessing about his origin and history. Oh, did I mention he's got Adamantium claws, a mutant healing factor and an indestructible skeleton?

Funny how every Wolverine we see post X-Men movie now has his claws coming out from his knuckles. Looking back at them coming from the top of his hands seems like such an absurd idea now. I imagined having wolvie's claws as a child and I had nightmares of them ripping through the skin on my forearms as I tried cutting through a particularly hard supervillain lair door. Sigh.
