Best of Marvel Comics HC - Wolverine story
Posted: Wed Jan 07, 2009 3:36 pm
Can I get some opinions defending or debunking the current chronological placement of the "Best of Marvel Comics" Wolverine story?
Although the HC came out in 1987, this story is currently placed between 1981's UX #148-149.
In the story, the clues I see are: Wolvie is wearing his brown costume, and calls Mariko his love (a sentiment she reciprocates). A Yakuza criminal refers to him as the "champion" of Clan Yashida.
Is this enough to declare that it takes place before Wolvie and Mariko's breakup in UX #173? As far as I know, even after the breakup they still declared their feelings for each other.
Was he Clan Yashida's "champion" before their engagement? Was he their champion after their breakup?
Am I missing some clues?
Thanks!
