    Wolverine

    Character » Wolverine appears in 16086 issues.

    A long-lived mutant with the rage of a beast and the soul of a Samurai, James "Logan" Howlett's once mysterious past is filled with blood, war, and betrayal. Possessing an accelerated healing factor, keenly enhanced senses, and bone claws in each hand (along with his skeleton) that are coated in adamantium; Wolverine is, without question, the ultimate weapon.

    Logan may be Overused

    But I have to say, he's a pretty good character. I guess getting to be in over 10,000 comics gives you plenty of time to be fleshed out. Now that I've made this declaration, is there anything I should know before I get to into it?

    Not really. All big time superheroes are overexposed with Marvel and DC being money hungry.

    For getting into Wolverine, I'd suggest "Origin" by Paul Jenkins, "Wolverine" by Chris Claremont, "Weapon X" by Barry Windsor Smith, Logan by Brian K. Vaughn, "The Package" by Stuart Moore, and Enemy of State by Mark Millar.

    Wolverine was created in october 74 that means he has been around for 29 years. 29x365 (not including leap year) is 10585 according to comic vine he has 10136 issues almost a issue per day (0.96). Now of curse this is also tpb, hardcovers and non english version however I think it gives a fine base if you use same data for Batman. Batman has appeared in 10477 issues over the curse of 74 years (27010 days). 10477/27010. That is 0.39 issue per day.

    @wolverine08: Paul Jenkins? Didn't that guy do Sentry, I don't really like Sentry. But I trust and love you guy, so I guess I'll go and check it out.

    If you want to see Wolverine not being overused go back to his beginning in Uncanny X-Men, he's only a side character then.
