PEP (6/22/2008)
Ok, lets see, where to start. I stopped picking up Wolverine a long time ago but all this hype about being set in the furture got me and I bought the issue. First off, I am a time continuity freak as some of you know and Kree is right, Logan looks like he's younger than Hawkeye which would be impossible. Logan was born sometime in the 1800s and the Logan of today only looks like he's in his early 40s, so for Logan to look the way he does in this story, it would have to set sometime in the year 2150 or so. And as far as the story saying Wolverine was hurt like no other time before is a crock, how many times recently has Wolverine been burned alive, jumped out the helicarrier without a parachute, in a plane crash with Sabretooth, etc. Other than that I actually kinda liked it, I like these futuristic tales, like the X-Men run in the early 80s, I think it was around issue 141 or so. Not to nitpick, but Logan looking younger than Hawkeye makes sense to me. He may have been born in the 1800s, but even now he only looks in his 30s(?) or so.Also, they said hurt "like no other time before". This doesn't necesarialy mean worse, or even physically, just different. They do say that his healing power has been affected in someway. I really enjoyed alot of the little touches too,the Fantsti-car and Spidey-Mobile were great, and I thought Banner's grandkids to be very interesting characters.

I meant to say that with Wolverine looking as old as he does, Hawkeye should already have died of old age. BUT since that is set 50 years into the future Wolverine should look like he's in his late 40s. He looks like he's in his 60s or something. I'm assuming his healing factor has just slowed down due to his age, I think Logan can die a natural death but of course it should take him hundreds of years to do that. One more point, what's the deal with Capt America's skull on the back cover with a bullet hole in his head?

| I really liked this issue. I know most comics have a cinematic feel to it, but this one seemed like it captured that feel a bit better than other comics I have read lately. Also, I think the hurt worse than ever before comment may have something to do with his healing factor being permanently affected. I'd kind of like to know how Hulk's kin became so ruthless.

| So I picked up issue 67 today and read it on my lunch break. The "Ghost Riders" were pretty interesting. And there is still this mystery about why Wolvering refused to harm another human being. One thing that made no sense to me though, or maybe I read it wrong, was the fact that Hawkeye's third wife was Peter Parker's youngest daughter. Did I read that wrong? Ok, I always figured Hawkeye was older than Peter and then you tie in the fact that this is Peter's "youngest" daughter and then blend THAT together with the fact that in the regular Marvel Universe, Peter has already graduated college and (pre-brand new day) had a career as a school teacher. So you have to think he's at least in his 30's. Marvel may claim 20's, but either way, this would be a significant age difference between Hawkeye and Peter's "youngest" daughter. I suppose its possible they could be married, its just hard to grasp when you first read it. Someone correct me if I read that wrong.

| I've enjoyed the future tale so far. The art really has been impressive. As for the Spider-Man continuity question, I've given up on the concept of Spider-Man continuity so I can't help you there. Just tell yourself its MAGIC and all will be well.

I'm going with magic....
because after readin' the last part of that story the only thing that comes to mind is my favorite quote:
"I can catch lightning in a bottle.
But I'll be damn if i can figure out what you just said!"
