Retirement Home Confidential

Join our hero as he delves into the unseemly world of counterfeit Viagra, rising Medicare Part B expenses, and the great Golden Girls blackout of 2047...

I'm only half joking when I say Marvel is one day going to steal one of my idiotic ideas. They certainly couldn't do any worse. Moving on.

So here I go from not writing a journal for months to 2 within the span of a week. I guess consistency isn't my strong suit.

A new batch returns, and another long overdue goal is knocked out. Although, when I think about it, overdue actually didn't turn out to be such a bad thing in this case.

The Wolverine Limited Series is obviously important to any Wolverine collector, but it's also an important piece of comic history as it portended what was to come for our hero. Granted I could've put the entire series together in 9.8 back in 2001 if I had really set my mind to it, but I think it worked out much better between 2015 and 2016. Because...

come 2015, a certain Mr. Miller rediscovered both his sharpie and his enjoyment of large sums of money. If you've seen what Frank Miller is charging per signature these days, then you know you REALLY have to want his signature. Which I did, on this entire set. Of 9.8s. Well, 9.8s excluding the TPB anyway.

While it would've been nice to have the entire run signed by Miller, Claremont, and Rubinstein, an eclectic combo will do just fine!
