On this week's episode of the Worst. Comic. Podcast. EVER!, we begin our summer reading program with the Wolverine mini-series from 1982. This is one of Marvel's earliest mini-series, and has stayed in print in some form or fashion over the last four decades.

Written by Chris Claremont with art by Frank Miller, Wolverine has Logan traveling to Japan to try to win back Mariko but those plans quickly go off of the high-speed train rails. This series showcases both creators' strengths, making for a memorable story that stands the test of time.

We are joined in the studio by friend-of-the-show Rick Zinn who suggested the Wolverine series to us.

Cullen got to attend the Washington State Summer Con last weekend, and he put together a fine collection of autographs and sketches that he is auctioning off on eBay. The proceeds from the auction will benefit the Hero Initiative, so please consider placing a bid on either piece he assembled.
