Everything is Sinister

Yeah, I read a couple of the earlier chapters because I like Charles Soule.

It's not really set in the 616, as it's a generational story, with the conceit that it takes place roughly in real time. I'd have my doubts that Logan and Sylvie's daughter would cross over even if not for the major character deaths in the latest chapter.

Huh, maybe him and Zdarsky should have compared notes.

If nothing else, Soule makes it quite clear that a Wolverine: Life Story miniseries would, after a certain point, degenerate into at least 50% of its page count depicting panels of Logan drinking alone in a bar.

In other Wolverine-sprog news, Claremont's story in the Exit Wounds one-shot features '80s-era Logan and Kitty going to rural Japan to bail out a noodle shop that's under fire from a protection racket, with Logan trying and failing to conceal that the shop's proprietor is his great-granddaughter.

I really doubt that story was meant as a setup for hot new character find of the year 2019, As Yet Unnamed Logan Daughter.

I'm a little more curious how she ended up blonde.

It's odd "Logan has a KID out there!" would draw in the speculation. He's got several at this point.

Laura's still kicking, last I checked, and I think Logan formally adopted her.

When I heard Logan's daughter I remembered this one that showed up for just one issue of... Jason Aaron's run? She got killed immediately.

Then there was this daughter he had with Mariko in Age of Apocalypse. Killed shortly after.

So, I guess if your father's Logan you may as well just forget about any future plans you had.

So Wolverine has a daughter and I had to go around scavenging for Marvel Comics Presents which I never would have bothered doing if I didn't love me some Art Adams anyway. The one time I was in an actual comic shop months ago I saw MCP #1 with Wolverine and Monkeyman from Monkeyman and O'Brien on an Art Adams cover and had to have it, but then realized it wasn't Monkeyman just some Gorilla and figured I wouldn't be back in the shop regularly to buy an anthology series like that so I skipped it. It's funny to see these issues currently on ebay skyrocketing as the speculators frenzy. Comic shop owners pissed because Marvel gave them no heads up about a new character for a book with poor sales that I think is getting cancelled anyway, so they all sold out and there's already a 2nd printing that no one will buy because it won't be worth as much.

In an adoptive, acting as a father figure sense he already has at least 3 daughters (Kitty, Jubilee, Laura) and probably 1 or 2 I'm forgetting.

Oh poo poo, I just realized Logan hasn't met Gabby yet. Tom Taylor better be writing that when it happens.

Armor or whatever her name was from the Whedon run. Has he ever mentored any teenage boys? Not counting disciplining Quentin Quire I guess.

edit: Ms Marvel in the early issue of hers where they fought an alligator in the sewer and talked fan fiction (for daughter #5)

Armor is a good point, but a one issue team up doesn't count.

He said he was formally adopting her right before he hosed off to die, so maybe.

Also he’s her biological father after Adamantium Agenda IIRC.

Thought I was in the Batman thread. Laura and Cassandra are nearly the same character. Since we already got Tim Drake and Jubilee, give us X23/Batgirl (not going to call her Orphan), Shadowcat/Nightwing, and Gabby/Damian.

They absolutely aren't the same character unless you've ignored all of her two most recent series.

They were both conceived as teen girls made to be killing machines. They rebel against their programming and become heroes. They’re both great characters, it’s just that Marvel is willing to do more with Laura than DC is with Cass.

Daken should have stayed dead, and Wolverine also killed Mystique. Was there an explanation for her coming back or was it just healing factor magic?

There's just something sad about Logan being a successful mentor to his teen sidekicks while being an abysmal father to his biological kids.

That won't be a competition until Logan's involves time travel.

The fact that we aren't virtually overrun by second-, third-, and fourth-generation sniktlings is actually testament to Logan's remarkable restraint.

Has Marvel retconned any of its heroes to actually be descended from Wolverine or something? Like, I dunno, Peter Parker being secretly Logan's great-great-grandkid or something.

So House of X and Powers of X came out today, right? Anyone read them yet and have a trip report? A friend said that aside from some minis the entire X-line was cancelled and Uncanny would re-launch, but does that mean it just continues next month with a new #1 or is there a gap?

The entire line is canceled for the duration of HoX/PoX (there may be some vaguely-related minis that finish up, but nothing I can think of), at which point there will be a relaunch with multiple X-books with new creative teams. They haven't given titles for anything coming out afterward, but Uncanny is probably a reasonably safe bet.

You said "duration of HoX/PoX". Is it only a mini? Or just more titles that run for a year and a half and end abruptly like every other X-Men book lately?
