Continuing the Marvel streak, Mike and Greg launch into a discussion about the Claremont/Miller Wolverine mini-series, having just revisited the work for the first time in years. Does it still hold up? What works? What doesn't? Is Logan dancing a jig in a bar while holding a man five times his size over his head?

It goes without saying that these four issues cemented in the eyes of an entire generation of readers what was cool about Wolverine, Marvel, and comics in general. But what unholy terror of shortcuts did this work unleash upon the superstar artists of the "future"?
