Two Snark Comments! Your choice!

So Wolverine: The End vs. Gamma White Trash?

Didn’t we just get an Essential Kilraven?

Millar is perfect at tapping into that nihilistic fifteen-year-old boy who lives inside so many fanboys (including the one writing this comment). That can be a good thing or a bad thing. This sounds like the former.

That being said I can’t see McNiven doing a post-apocalyptic environment. From the sounds of it I think Marvel should have scored the biggest coup of all and gotten Frank Miller to draw this. Millar/Miller would destroy the Internet, though. Which it deserves.

You compliment Millar and strangely no one notices, Graeme. How unfair.

For whom trings the till? Doth it toll for thee, Duncan?

Probably. I’ve enjoyed the enforced break from Mark Millar comics, being there are none and Civil War was fucking terrible, but actually, misguided Eisner trib gibberish aside, his last Wolverine was adrenalicious.

The setting reminds me of some of the 2099 titles, actually.

But if Wolvie’s monthly goes out of continuity for this, that’s one less place he’ll be appearing in-continuity per month. That should please some people.

“It’s unlike any Marvel story you’ve ever had before.”

Iin his eyes, isn’t everything done by Mark, though?

Funny, because he had me until this bit:

“…Wolverine doesn’t have money to pay this particular month, so the story kicks off with he and Hawkeye, who is blind and a drug dealer, running drugs from the West Coast of America to the East Coast…”

This, judging by the article would be a 75 year old-plus Hawkeye. Blind. A drug runner.

I’ll take a look at the trade if it gets decent reviews…

He had me until this bit:

“And he owes money to the Hulk gang who are the decedents of Bruce Banner, and they’re kind of like “The Hills Have Eyes” guys. They’re this horrible little gang of redneck Hulks. They’re hillbillies that live in the mountains, and they’ve all got wife beater shirts and ball caps and everything. They ride around in a customized Fantasticar that they got from the superheroes once they’d killed all the superheroes. So they go around and collect rent off all the people in their area.”
