The preview page displays one the traits I love about JBs work.  We have Wolverine in his original costume and the Wendigo with a largish humanoid nose.  Little things that show respect to the source material.

The shot of the Hulk knocking Wolverine unconscious shows the Hulk's strength through restraint.  It looks like the Hulk has just given him a "love tap".

I’d noticed that sometimes when a piece of art was scaled UP for publication, the line would get kinda “fuzzy”. I tried to take advantage of that for the sequence of Smart Alec losing his mind, but it didn’t work. Poo!


As a fan, it worked for me! I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve revisited those panels, because I liked the effect. The way the lines blur as it zoomed in gave a freeze-frame like effect.


Edited to fix quote.

I thought the panels worked, but don't recall any blurring of the enlarged image.

In the original comic, Len Wein describes it as a "glancing blow". ;)

We're about to embark upon some stormy seas! And not just for our pal Logan. The tale I'm telling is going to strain the brains of some of you--especially on the aforementioned matter of "Marvel Time".

BWAH-HA-HA-HA!!!!!

Yup. And when Chris told me that was going to be Wolverine's real name, I was surprised to learn he did not know about it. Serendipity!
