          Even when considering the use of foreshortening, the panel of Wolverine "in flight" really shows that he is built differently to other heroes.

 |  •• Reminds me of one day in Art College.  I'd drawn what was meant to be a dwarf, and a fellow student, looking at the piece, said "great foreshortening".   He was assuming I was drawing an average height man viewed at an extreme angle.

          Wow -Wolverine is certainly a tough SOB to get up from that launching...

 Poor Jean -she may be right, the team could have their hands full with Jahf and might need all the help they can get.

 Agreed, Michael... And I know just how she could stop him.

          Or is it something more than that? Does she sense this is all in someway tied to her?

 Anyway, really like how well-realised the surroundings are. We have a room and a hallway both in the same panel, the doorway between the two, a window into the room, then there's the examination table, a kind of power box beneath the window. It all adds to the 'believability' -- even though it's all made up! 
 Surprised to see Wolverine anything other than unconcsious. |

          Did it hurt when you fell to Earth?

          That's something that gets missed sometimes. even though Wolverine has a healing factor, that doesn't mean that he doesn't feel pain. The one bit that I actually liked from the first X-Men movie was when Wolverine said that it hurt every time he popped his claws. It adds to his character.

          That was something I wanted to “reveal” right from the start, but there never seemed to be an organic place to do it!

          In the comics, I don't recall the pain of 'popping' being explicitly said, but Claremont did have one bit where Wolverine lost his powers for an extended period of time*, and by popping his claws, he started bleeding profusely around his hands. He was also close to dying because of the Adamantium skeleton.

 *However, during an earlier battle with Magneto in X-Men#150, Wolverine was also powerless with no shown issue with claw-popping.

          Elastic continuity in Chris’ writing? Surely you jest!

          Wow.  All the different angles you're playing with over these pages.

 I agree Rod! JB, besides the drawrings, something I've always admired is your impressive use of camera angles. There are artists who draw very well but their panel scenes are pretty static. Is this fairly instinctual on your part or do you put a lot of thought in deciding the best angle?
