Same! “Uncle” in quotes has me intrigued. Not from a familial perspective.

Very curious to see how this escape attempt goes.

••

It "goes" between panels. Don't want anyone worrying all weekend about what's going to happen. In this "origin" story, as some of you may have noticed, I have been avoiding scenes that lead to foregone conclusions as much as I can.

Logan plans to escape--and the next time we see him, he has!

Nothing there. A reflection of my Art College days when one of the other students was something of a "supplier", and called himself "uncle" in that capacity. "Let's see what Uncle has for you today. . . "

Ah, youth!

(No, I did not avail myself of his "services".)

Once again, would have never predicted any of this. I love that Logan, even drifting in and out of consciousness and sometimes snapping, still manages to meet decent normal folks and make friends. It's nice to see some pain management options for him. (that probably wouldn't have flown with the Comics Code.)

One of the biggest motifs in this origin is it seems Logan is very much at home with normal folks! He may be dangerous, but he has a core of decency.

Is this due more to the story being told through the haze of Logan's Shaman-induced recollections or adhering to a storytelling principle of some sort?

It's amusing for me, keeping track of the time frame of this outing. Making mental notes of when various events are occurring in "Marvel Time". We're still largely operating before the FF took their rocket ride, for example, but now, with the Seven Year Rule, that trip took place some time around 2015 or so! So this whole "origin" tale takes place long after my time on UNCANNY X-MEN.

I wonder what my 27 year old self would have to say about all this?

I just love that line.

TANGENT: After finding a “reviewer” complaining that ELSEWHEN is “light” because there are “no subplots”, I found another self-appointed guardian of public taste at the other end of the spectrum, grumbling that X-MEN-THE HIDDEN YEARS was “bloated” because it had—wait for it!—“too many subplots”!

sigh

What? Elsewhen has had loads of sub-plots, so many to the point where I was finding it hard to keep track of things. Very few comics have more than two plots in them. What ARE they comparing it to?
