Welcome to Journey Into Misery, where I explain complicated comics characters, continuity and concepts to the patient and perpetually perplexed Helena Hart.

Over fifty years ago, the villains killed the heroes… except for Wolverine. What they did to him was so much worse. We talk about Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s instantly iconic story, the character’s future and what, if anything, the movie might crib from the comics.
