Check out this fan’s montage.
Kees van Dijkhuizen Jr. deserves 00 status for this excellent tribute!
I’m shaken and stirred.
Thanks to Dark Horizons and The Playlist.

Paul Cornell and Alan Davis will launch a brand new Wolverine series next month. Logan’s adventures have taken him around the world, into space and across timestreams but Cornell tells Marvel.com he will keep the X-Man grounded in the new series.
