best comic book movie of 2013

(could be one of the greatest if they could just cut out whole final act)

Jesus, i wouldn't mind the alternate ending without whole Silver Samurai battle. Let's cut this shit out and go straight to the airport scene.

I'm just wondering where the sequel will go from here. I'm very much likely looking forward to hearing Mangold's confirmation of just where the sequel will go next.

In other X-Men related news I'm really hoping that Halle Berry is doing re-shoots for Days of Future Past. Just the thought of Storm getting in on more action (as she was meant to in the first place) fills me with great joy. I'm surprised no one has tweeted her asking if she was scheduled to go back to Montreal??

I really want to see a new trailer with all of those visuals Singer had to leave out.

Lastly, great art!!

What didn't make it good for you? I'm actually interested in knowing. lol

@Facade

last act was a mess. Ninja fight should be the last action scene. Wouldn't mind some other, minimalistic ending.

So will Logan have bone claws in Fox's next craptastic movie DOFP or will he have the metal ones again w/o any explanation as to why he has them again, because we all know Fox could give two rats asses about continuity.

To answer your question it has been confirmed that Wolverine (in the future/past timeline) will have his bone claws. As I was watching the original teaser trailer for days of future past I kept thinking that he had his metal claws in that scene involving those henchmen shooting him up. However Singer confirmed in a commentary over the trailer that Wolverine had his bone claws.

I what's special about this is that Fox actually has the opportunity to give us a more accurate version of a a Weapon X film. With a much younger William Stryker appearing in the 70's for Days of Future Past I'm sure once Logan's conscious has left his past body an unconscious 70's Logan will be lured into the program.

I would totally love to see...

-Sabertooth
-Omega Red
-Lady Deathstrike
-Deadpool

All on screen together.

Beautiful concept art.

I tried to rent The Wolverine online, but you can only purchase it. It's not available to rent until Dec. 3rd for whatever reason.

@intruder LOL!

@jollem so , you justify wolverine being different from comics by showing how other heroes are different than their counterparts!!?? What does iron man,Thor,cap has to do with the clothes wolverine wears in the fox universe??
rabid
rabid - 11/25/2013, 9:02 AM
It doesn't make any sense for Wolverine to wear a costume. He has no identity to hide. Now if they weaken his healing factor, he can wear a suit as armor, but until then it would just look silly doing it in live action without a good reason.
