75->As we continue our follow-up on stuff from previous years, it’s time yet again to showcase a character who first premiered in someone else’s book. Yeah, today’s episode, as a result, is more a follow-up to [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk the Hulk]], who I think has shown up more times than Wolvie on this show. That’s pretty surprising considering how frequent the guy appears in the Franchise/MarvelUniverse. There was a joke for a few years that Wolverine was technically active on THREE different teams at the same time and was ALL over the map. He was basically [[AlternateCompanyEquivalent the Marvel Universe’s equivalent of Batman]] with how many things he was doing all at once. The guy is so popular that he’s gotten [[Film/XMenOriginsWolverine THREE]] [[Film/TheWolverine spinoff]] [[Film/{{Logan}} movies]] [[Film/XMenFilmSeries from the X-Men]], which when you think about it was BARELY necessary considering [[Film/XMen1 the]] [[Film/X2XMenUnited first]] [[Film/XMenTheLastStand three]] ''X-Men'' movies [[SpotlightStealingSquad were all about him anyway]].
76-->--'''[[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]''' [[http://atopthefourthwall.com/the-incredible-hulk-181/ reviewing]] Wolverine's [[FirstAppearance first full appearance]] in ''ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk'' # 181

78->Usually, if a special guest star is featured on the cover, they'll show up for an aimless cameo or appear suddenly in the final panel. This type of cover is a very advanced type of shitty, since it stays as close to untrue as possible while also spoiling a surprise ending. Statistically, the most common type of guest appearance is Wolverine briefly stopping by. And putting him on the cover makes sense if you're Alpha Flight, because if you're Canada's premier super team, the most interesting part of your month is when Wolverine asks to borrow your snowmobile. But mathematically speaking, if you were a comic book in the '90s, you had 7-10 Wolverines on your cover and far fewer than that inside.

84-> ''"In 2006, Marvel hired author Creator/NeilGaiman (who knows a little bit about [[ComicBook/TheSandman comics starring inmortal deities]]) to re-reboot [[ComicBook/TheEternals the franchise]] with a much-hyped miniseries. The resulting ongoing series was cancelled on issue 9 despite a desperate attempt to save it by prominently featuring the one thing Marvel fans find sexier than [[SexSells naked breasts]]: Canadians with knife hands."''

94->But I can definitely tell you one thing is true that’s tied into [the critique that DC was trying to make everything like Batman]: Franchise/{{Batman}} oversaturation. During one of my ''[[ComicBook/TheCloneSaga Clone Saga]]'' reviews, I mentioned that there was a point when there were FOUR ComicBook/SpiderMan books. Well apparently, [[Creator/DCComics DC]] thought they'd embrace that [[MemeticMutation 'hold my beer' meme]] and [[ExaggeratedTrope upped the ante]]. FOUR Batman titles: ''Batman'', ''Batman: The Dark Knight'', ''Batman and Robin'', and ''Detective Comics''; TWO ComicBook/{{Justice League|2011}} [[ComicBook/JusticeLeagueInternational books]] where he was supposed to be a member of TWO different teams; and SEVEN books featuring Batman [[SpinOff spin-off]] characters, either in a title role or as part of a team. Fortunately, I’m pretty sure that this has been cut back a bit in recent times with ''[[ComicBook/DCRebirth Rebirth]]'' and the years following the ComicBook/New52’s launch, but CRIMINEY! A FOURTH of the 52 books consisted of Batman, or Batman peripherals. Not to diminish those individual characters or anything like that, but once upon a time, you COULD actually keep track of a continuity of books and have a timeline of events for a character. Nowadays? Good luck figuring out [[ContinuitySnarl where the hell any particular story falls in relation to others]]. THIS is [[ContinuityLockOut one of those issues of continuity nightmares that discourages new readers]].
95-->--'''[[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Linkara]]''' [[http://atopthefourthwall.com/batman-the-dark-knight-1-3/ on]] the use of this trope when it comes to Batman during the New 52 and the consequences of using said trope with comic books in general
