Who knows, maybe I'm the only one who has paid much attention to his monthlies lately, but I have to get this off my chest.
Why does Marvel insist, ever since the relaunch to put writers on his books that don't do ANYTHING. Now I know slow has been the norm with Marvel for the past few years, but this is ridiculous. Slow only works with Wolverine occasionally, under the right conditions. But we've had stories like "The Native" and this what, seven parter that just finished for Wolverine to get a SWORD??? They're just terribly boring and slow for a character that at the end of the day, admit, you just want to see him pop and hurt someone. Obviously every issue of that would be boring, but watching Wolverine walk around doing nothing for six issues is much worse.
Before someone asks, I keep reading his book because him and Spider-Man are my two favorite Marvel heroes, and it would take a lot to get me to stop reading them. And no, I don't buy a book just because Wolverine is in it, so I don't contribute to that, besides, I get paid by the hour.
Anyway, anyone else have any thoughts?

I don't see why they bothered with this arc then, Venom. Unless I missed something, Wolverine HAS a sword already. The Honor Sword of Clan Yashida comes to mind. Even if that's changed, the fact is that this is nothing new, and in fact rather pointless. Kind of like Daniel Way's whole career. Why does Marvel keep on giving him titles, again?
But then, I honestly think that Wolverine's been overexposed and badly written for far too many years now. I miss the days when Wolverine could get badly and brutally beaten... and then pick himself back up and try to do the right thing anyway. Sadly, those days are long since over.
Wolverine needs a decent writer for once, a direction that's genuinely new, and a return to the humanity Logan used to have. But with Marvel in the state it's in, I wouldn't hold my breath there...

Yea, basically he got a Masamune that's supposed to possess unlimited power, or something like that.
I totally agree with your feelings on Wolverine though. One of my favorite aspects of him, was when he would get badly hurt, but you just knew he was going to get back up for round 2. He was down a lot of times, but never totally out.
I would also like to see more of his human side, as he became a much deeper character than just the boogeyman.
Oh well... Way can't stay on forever.... right?
Maybe he just never gets fired because all the editors fall asleep before they read the issue, so they don't remember what happened, they just sign off on it cause, hell, it's Wolverine!

So did you read Millar's run? That seemed to have a lot of what you're asking for.

Yes I did, but that was like... where did that come from? LoL.
I was speaking in a more broad sense....
