The Wolverine is now out on Blu-Ray and dvd. Director James Mangold is meeting with Hugh Jackman about a possible sequel.

 

The X-Man’s classic comic book uniform hasn’t made it to the big screen yet could the yellow and blue or yellow and brown appear in a future movie?

 

“A lot of fans keep asking about when he’s going to wear his uniform. It’s a struggle for us in relation to question, because Logan’s personality as developed onscreen and in comics is one in which he hates publicity. The filmmakers, even on X-Men, have struggled with an outfit. Finding the rationale for a uniform when the character disdains self promotion, why he would put on some outfit that promotes himself as some kind of hero?

As you reel from this week’s epic conclusion to Marvel’s Infinity event I’m inspired to have as our Friday Flashback an earlier classic clash between Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Thanos.

 

Writer Jim Starling, artists George Perez and Ron Lim gave us The Infinity Gauntlet back in 1991 in which the entire Marvel Universe took on the Mad God of Titan.

 

Thanos seized the Infinity Gems (also known as the Soul Gems) and assembled them on a gauntlet – this cosmic weapon gave him the power of  God. As a gift to Death (who Thanos worships) he wipes out half the lives in the universe with a snap of a finger including many Marvel heroes. Continue reading INFINITY GAUNTLET Flashback
