Would be a good Comic villain someone who only references speaks in Haiku form you would need a creator writer with the chops but done right could be a banger
Frank Miller in 1982: "Sorry Chris, but I don't like working with psychopathic characters." Years later, he wrote and drew Holy Terror. How does THAT happen?
Wasn't Neal Adams that said he feels bad for only mentoring Miller in the art aspect, and not about life? I think he implied that the guy clearly had drug problems.
@@MrTomlette I don't know. I'm not too familiar with Frank's outside life aside from him being in NYC when 9/11 happened at that being a huge basis for his worldview moving forward. I had no idea about the drug problems.
Easily my favorite interpretation of Wolverine. The 2000s and 2010s with his tenure in the Avengers turned him into a mindless killer. He has nuance in this story.
Just rewatched The Wolverine this evening and knew I needed to check this episode out again afterwards to compare and contrast. Rather impressed with how much they kept while still making it quite different.
I’ve been watching this channel since 10th grade and now I’m about to graduate college. Thanks for helping shape me into the comic book nerd I am today! 💙💙💙
My copy also collects the two wedding issues from Uncanny X-Men, and boy is the tonal whiplash nuts. It goes from Logan questioning his nature and his place in the world, to Storm getting a new hair cut and treating that like character development.
1:05 NEW COMICPOP HEAD CANON: Ethan IS Bastian!! Every time he’s not on camera he’s in the land of The Neverending Story!! Just looked it up, it’s called Fantastica!?! WTF? Lmao!
Great episode as always. I think the dates mentioned are off a little bit as this mini-series was originally published in 1982. Ronin would begin to be published in the following year but shows as Sal alluded to that Frank Miller had an interest in Japanese culture for some time that also bled into his run on Daredevil that started prior to this mini. Love the show and keep up the great work!
Awesome episode Sal and company! This is one of my favorite Wolverine stories. I mean it was his first solo outing and gave you extra insight into his character plus lots of killing and slashing. Joe Rubinstein pronounces his last name (Rubin-Steen). I know that because I met him back in 2017 and he told me. It was awkward to say the least hahaha. But he did sign all four copies of the Wolverine mini series I brought with me and I purchased a cover recreation he did for issue 1 that is only inked. But it's an awesome piece.
33:30 Man I didn’t realize Genndy Tartakovsky’s love for Frank Miller ran that deep. The most obvious one I remember is the 300 Spartans episode from Samurai Jack.
11:34 I like the idea that Logan is spoken to in a foreign language, speaks it fluently back, and is then surprised he knows that language. Like, “Huh, didn’t know I could understand Dutch”
Funny timing. I've been wanting to get into wolverine comics so I just grabbed this. Haven't started it yet, though. So, I guess I'll be back here once I've finished it 😊
I absolutely love Claremont's/Miller's WOLVERINE. I have that same TPB, and I would read it over and over. It's absolutely amazing. And I love that someone snuck a copy to Hugh Jackman for him to read.
When we were kids, this was a fave. "I'm the best there is at what I do. 'You're the best there is at what you do..'" Bus ride scene is solid in my mind for almost 30yrs
A dog seeing wolverine must be like that scene scene from mystery of the batwoman where the Doug notices Batman in the room and they just look at each other and someone asks him. Is there something wrong and he's like? Nope and he just closes the door.
The omnibus edition of wolverine is amazing and one of the best collected edition i own! Can't say about masterworks, never tried it but logically it should be better if not oversized. As Sal said, in any form possible every comic book fan should own this.
Other writers have explained he needs to DRINK A TON to feel the effects of alcohol. Chris Clairmont also explained that his lungs get healed when he smokes cigarettes and cigars when Kitty takes a drag of one of his cigarettes and she begins coughing up a storm(well Wolverine doesn’t smoke anymore thanks to my least fave person ever at marvel, Joe Quesada).
Always the highlight of my week, thank you guys for doing what you do. Also tell Ethan to put on a fake mustache to match the rest of the people of the couch please

Sal accidentally said '87 and not '82! FAKE FAN ALERT!
What a hack fraud!!
LOL, JK
That makes a lot more sense
Not trying to bust your balls over it. Just that the differences between '82 wolvie and '87 are huge, and it really all began with this mini series.
@@victorkain3500 Naturally.
Lol.
Chris Claremont: "What if Wolverine was a total weeb?"Frank Miller: "Don't mind if I do!"
Did Frank wiggle his fingers while he said that?
Has there ever been a more true statement than, "As all great samurai stories begin, in the wilderness of Canada."?
As a Canadian, i can confirm that every year 1/50 young men venture out into the wilderness to begin their Samurai training.
@@Grievousish As a fellow Canadian I can back up this statement

Wolverine No. 1, Haiku in review
It’s crazy how many episodes you’ve done and there’s still no shortage of iconic stories. I didn’t realise this hadn’t been done yet, awesome.
Had the exact same thought. I saw the thumbnail and just assumed this was at least a year old. I mean, it's _the_ Wolverine run!
One of Keanu Reeves' favorite comic books.
I get it
Frank Miller in 1982: "Sorry Chris, but I don't like working with psychopathic characters."
Years later, he wrote and drew Holy Terror. How does THAT happen?
Drugs, and/or Clinical Insanity. Or, a third thing that I am not smart enough to consider.
9/11 and racism

Easily my favorite interpretation of Wolverine. The 2000s and 2010s with his tenure in the Avengers turned him into a mindless killer. He has nuance in this story.
Partially, but i also blame Daniel Way becuase he essentially changed the type.of characther he was sadly.
My favorite is Old Man Logan. Too bad Marvel got rid of him.
“She got married, sometime between bear-slayings by Wolverine” 💀💀💀💀
I was always a patron of Wolverine having a girlfriend from Japan. Japan has always been good/decent to him.
My haiku:
Sal got a haircut
Dude is looking fresh as fuck
Jealous of his style
Just rewatched The Wolverine this evening and knew I needed to check this episode out again afterwards to compare and contrast. Rather impressed with how much they kept while still making it quite different.
That haiku at the end brought tears to my eyes.
Nature is so raw
With adamantium claws
Honour is preserved
I’ve been watching this channel since 10th grade and now I’m about to graduate college. Thanks for helping shape me into the comic book nerd I am today! 💙💙💙
Just finished reading this story yesterday. A great story and art a huge respect to both Claremont and Miller.
My copy also collects the two wedding issues from Uncanny X-Men, and boy is the tonal whiplash nuts. It goes from Logan questioning his nature and his place in the world, to Storm getting a new hair cut and treating that like character development.
Comic pop is the best at what they do, and what they do is very entertaining

Wow a wolverine story and an ASK A NINJA REFERENCE. This is why I subscribed to this channel. Just pure joy..
Let's go! One of my favorite Marvel books of all time. Great back issues as always
Thanks guys. 2 mins in and my day is already better! Needed my fix!
This was the first ever full trade I ever read, so this story has a special place in my heart.
This was the first Wolverine comic/tpb I ever bought. Great story.
I lost it at the “Super Bear Cry”
It would have been interesting to see Miller work with Claremont for artwork on the main X-Men series and New Mutants
Ben just pulling out that haiku was beastly!!
Sal: "I feel bad, its going to be a shorter episode" The episode is literally 53 minutes long lol
I love this book so much, I wrote a lesson plan for my students using it to recognize theming in comics. So glad to see you guys cover it!
Love the audio on your videos. No joke, it's absolutely great!
Thank you, SK!
Frank Miller: I don't write crazy people
*Are You Sure About That?*
Wolverine is a good story. I hope you guys do a back issue for barry Windsor Smith Weapon X. Probably my favorite wolverine's story.
Wolverine and samurai go together like peanut butter and jelly
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS this was my very first exposure to Wolverine ever as a kid!
I like Sal's impression of the intro/outro song.
Thank you!!! This is still my favorite Wolverine story.
I loved frank miller and chris Clairmont wolverine because that series is really awesome and badass.
Always wanted you to cover this! Thanks for the amazing content!
26:00 Sal blink twice if you're in danger!!

Ethan is the kid from the never ending story. Confirmed.
Every time I watch this show I feel a strong need to buy more comicbook graphic tees
This is a really great interpretation of Wolverine. It’s an essential Marvel work.
33:30
Man I didn’t realize Genndy Tartakovsky’s love for Frank Miller ran that deep. The most obvious one I remember is the 300 Spartans episode from Samurai Jack.
Great comic, awesome video, I would love to see Frank's Daredevil run too since most of his other stories are covered.
Yo Sal coming through with the 'Ask a ninja' reference. I haven't thought about that show in years.
Those at little house, sharing the best and the worst, always a good time
YESSSSSSS!!!!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! Love you guys! Thank you!!!!
Wow, it's surprising that this hasn't been done yet. Neat!
11:34 I like the idea that Logan is spoken to in a foreign language, speaks it fluently back, and is then surprised he knows that language. Like, “Huh, didn’t know I could understand Dutch”
Perfect timing as I just finished reading this a few hours ago.
All Back Issues are awesome. Very entertaining. Keep it up.
Funny timing. I've been wanting to get into wolverine comics so I just grabbed this. Haven't started it yet, though. So, I guess I'll be back here once I've finished it 😊
Thank you guys! The best Wolverine story!
This is one of, if not the only story I've read/have that Comic Pop has gone over
So glad this was covered, once again an amazing episode.
another super fun episode. The haiku at the end....
Lol I read this because a friend recommend it and loaned it to me. Similar to what happened with Watchmen although I actually bought it myself.
52:20 Challenge Accepted:
A Man With No Past
Neverending Search For Love
Best At What He Does?
Whoa. Didn't expect this one this week. Thank you!
Ysee it was a super bear so when it screamed, it's scream emanated throughout the entire world... love that
I call it a shootcut is the best line.
Deep TH-cam cut with the “ask a ninja” reference.
I absolutely love Claremont's/Miller's WOLVERINE. I have that same TPB, and I would read it over and over. It's absolutely amazing.
And I love that someone snuck a copy to Hugh Jackman for him to read.
This was a really great episode, I'm still waiting for an X-23 episode.
The whole idea of “Man or Animal” and the “I’m a man!” 35:15 made me think of the man or muppet song
Thank you!!
This book is awesome, glad to see what you think about it.
When we were kids, this was a fave.
"I'm the best there is at what I do.
'You're the best there is at what you do..'"
Bus ride scene is solid in my mind for almost 30yrs
First disliked this book,
But y’all changed my mind on it.
Appreciation.
“I just killed a bear!” Is one of the funniest endings to these episodes, I laughed out loud and it scared the sh*t out of my gf 😂😂😂
You have a superpower. I just watched Mallrats and you reference it like an hour later.
I guess we gotta *hand* it to Miller for the villain for this series.
The Wolverine is my favorite Hugh Jackman film. I absolutely loved it, third act included.
Came for Wolverine, stayed for the Ask a Ninja reference.
Mankind couldn't change
Society Blamed the beast
heaven or hell let's rock
Guys this was real good
I really like Wolverine
Best at what he does
As an aside, I'm watching this again
Just for the record, I love you lot. You do good work.
Ben's quick with those haikus, I'm impressed
A dog seeing wolverine must be like that scene scene from mystery of the batwoman where the Doug notices Batman in the room and they just look at each other and someone asks him. Is there something wrong and he's like? Nope and he just closes the door.
Gotta' love how some of the best ideas come from either long car rides, eating pizza together, or daydreaming in the shower.
I’ve been waiting for this one
Well excuse me while I go binge the anime for the second time this year, because wolverine tge samurai will always be the best
Wolverine is the lone survivor who becomes a great hero in time
Its simple really, ComicPOP uploads video, I watch video
13:24 Who was that guy? th-cam.com/video/9lVSub2wsys/w-d-xo.html
Any show that starts with a Mallrats reference is gonna be a good show.
Im watching this while playing Ghost of Tsushima
Looking good in this episode, Sal.
Lol those haikus were great!
The omnibus edition of wolverine is amazing and one of the best collected edition i own! Can't say about masterworks, never tried it but logically it should be better if not oversized.
As Sal said, in any form possible every comic book fan should own this.
Thank you Ben for bringing up the point that he drinks and still gets drunk even though he has a healing Factor doesn't really make sense but whatever
Other writers have explained he needs to DRINK A TON to feel the effects of alcohol. Chris Clairmont also explained that his lungs get healed when he smokes cigarettes and cigars when Kitty takes a drag of one of his cigarettes and she begins coughing up a storm(well Wolverine doesn’t smoke anymore thanks to my least fave person ever at marvel, Joe Quesada).
1:40 Ben's sound effect is the best 😂😂😂
Sal, can you do a back issue on Donny Cates Venom or his Thor series.
The greatest secret at Marvel is that the W in Wolverine stands for "weeaboo"
Always the highlight of my week, thank you guys for doing what you do. Also tell Ethan to put on a fake mustache to match the rest of the people of the couch please
