Yeah, I know. (Actually had a discussion concerning the bone claws in the Mutant Registration thread oh-so-long-ago.) I just thought ‘de-clawed’ sounded funnier (and more undignified, as the act was).

Yipe! When’d this happen?\*\*

Pretty recently, as comics go. I don’t know exactly. I generally only pick up my batch of comics every few months (so I can read more than 15 minutes worth of story at a time), so for all I know, he’s either back, or they’re hinting at a comeback. He’s actually not really dead, you see, he’s merged with Apocalypse. (Apocalops? Cyclopalypse?)

Also, I was actually referring to the movie Wolvie as well. I honestly never thought of Ash in that way; I guess he’d be more of a bud to hang out with than a lover.

And, yeah, Hugh Jackman would make a good Jesse Custer!

Heehee…Cyclopalypse…I like it. (Unless of course that’s what they’re actually calling him…O\_O)

It would appear that Wolverine carries the day.
