I'm sure everyone knows that Leob is currently working on a 4 or 5 (not sure) Wolverine arc, and that two promises were made about the story line. That it would bet he last battle between the two and that it would reveal the connection between the two. Everryone knows the first promise is complete BS, however the second could be interesting.

So far Leob has shown what Wolverine "dreams about' A Lupine named Pup. The Lupine are a tribe/race of "humans" that existed when Neanderthals did. Pup has the same hair style and chops that Wolverine does, he also seems to have the same healing factor that Logan does. Pup also has a bigger, stronger, more powerful counter part that has the same similiarities to Creed.

I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this, but I have the feeling we are going find out that Logan and Creed (and maybe other mutants who have similiar powers) are not mutants (mutated humans) at all but decentents of this/these other race(s) of humanity that have survived. And they keep getting drawn to into conflict with each other because they always have been.

Barring Creed being his actual father-I've supported the Cain and Able theory.The are essential undying and struggling perpetually.I am Logan's father(my son is 6-no extraordinary powers yet.)

With Wolverine's memories being a little screwy at the moment I think (and hope) that the early flashes are metaphors to the rivalry between the two. A literal version of that kind of past would contradict a lot of what was in the superior (so far) Origin and would be a little too similar to what was revealed in the Earth X trilogy. Wolverine's whole personality seemed to be more a product of his life in Origin and making it biologically determined would be a bit lame. The same can be said for Sabretooth, if they reveal him to be Dog of course.

Now why did I think of Marville when I read the last issue of Wolverine?

That was a key part of the Wolverine character in Jim Kreuger's and Alex Ross' 'Earth X' mythos.

The evolution of Wolverine, Creed, and the like ran parallel to, but did not cross within, the evolution of man, Homo Sapien.

Man.. I really hope that's not true.

I always sort of assumed that Dog from Origin was intended to be Creed, and that Logan and he were therefore either brothers or half-brothers. And I think that is much more plausible, as well as less stupid, than the whole "different strain of species" thing. I'm sorry, but that just strikes me as dumb.

Yeah, let's not have more "eternal, eon-long feuds between different tribes of similar mutants" please. Wasn't it enough with Nightcrawler!

Seriously - is someone just sitting around saying, hey let's follow Chuck Austen's example! I mean, The Draco was so popular, why don't we completely screw up Wolverine's history too?

At first I was really looking forward to this story.

Wolverine #50 was good. I liked the Hulk story as well.

I thought it was going to be a stand alone issue/story-then I find out it has 2 parts. Ok...

Then I find out Storm & Black Panther enter.
Ok....I wanted to read about Wolvie/Sabretooth-not them.

So, my conclusion:

I stopped buying the 2, 3 parts.

They lost me.

The art is good though, the story just feels rushed for some reason even spread over 3 issues.

Wolverine and Scott Stapp had a falling out in the late 90s while on tour
