X-Men #62 - Giant Wolverine

I have nothing to remark about the rest of the comic. I was trying to think of something crappy to blog about and I remembered a bizarre panel from X-Men #62.

Carlos Pachego is by no means a bad artist, and as a fellow illustrator, I admit to a few over-exaggerated, drunken behemoths that I've drawn.

This is why you don't drink and draw.

What the hell is this?

Pachego's debut Wolverine panel for this title hits us like Mel Gibson hits the sauce. Engorged and sloppy.

This gamma-charged, juiced-up, meat golem with furry elbows fails to keep Logan in familiar stature. We close the deal with a lean set of Mick Jagger heroin legs.

I repeat. What the hell is this.

If I were Shang Chi, I would be crapping soft-serve and calling animal control. There's a Canadian werewolf in Hong Kong, despite what it's cheeky belt bling has to say about it.

The rest of Pachego's run on this title was much less muscular, until Marrow shows up and flexes out boney tears from her enormous Morlocke pecs.

I give this panel two bone claws down and one adamantium claw to the skull.

Fail.

Found it.

Went one a jaunt to a few comic shops today. I looked where I've previously looked, and as luck would have it. I found what was not there before. My X-Men Vol 2 collection is complete.
I've been trying to complete this collection for so long. Now that it's over. I don't know what I'm going to do with the rest of my life.

OMG two issues away!

Ok, sorry about my giddiness, but I now only have two more issues left in my X Vol 2 quest. The hunt is on for #70 and #80!

So close!

Got a shiny new eBay gift card for Christmas. So I went on a subquest to complete my X-Men (Vol 2) collection. Thirteen buy-it-nows later, I am a mere four issues away from my ultimate quest. I just need #53, #70, #80, and #97.
I'm anxious about completing the final few issues. I get mini panic-attacks when I think about finishing anything. May the gods of comic collectors find me in their favor. Know the faces of my adversaries:
