It's Tony Bedard's little way of saying "You want Claremont? I'll give you fucking Claremont!"

(Chris Claremont was supposed to replace him as writer of the book just recently, but then he got sick or something.)

No one said the bone claws were better, there was just a storyline where Wolverine lost his adamantium and Marvel couldn't stand the thought of their cash wolverine going without claws even for a short time since that's what all the boys bought the comics for. So: "by the way guys, they're made of bone and here they are. HE CAN STILL BE BADASS DON'T RUN AWAY!"

I was going to compare it to the Star Trek episode where Spock goes blind, but then I realized I would implode with geekiness.

And by the way, the "best character to come out of print comics" discussion is not only a matter of taste, but also off-topic in this thread.

Captain Picard's quarters on the Enterprise D were located on deck 9, room 3601. His Serial Number is SP 937-215.

There. Can we agree that no one else has to worry about being too geeky in this thread? At least until you're done beating me up and taking my juice money, that is.

Oh man, we're going to pick you up by your ankles and hold you upside down and shake the fuckin' change out of your pockets.

Oh man, we are gonna swirlie you and wedgie you at the same time!

I actually wrote a whole thing once about how Frank Miller was the George Lucas of comics.

I mean, you know. It happens.

No! Not my juice money! I need that!

For juice!
