The theme selected for week one-seventy-nine of Operation Graphite will be: Wolverine.
How did this operation go three years without a Wolverine theme? The X-men in general have not had as much love as the rest of the Marvel Universe, but it is surprising one of my all time favorite grumpy Canadians hasn’t had his own Grey Op. Hugh Jackman recently announced that he’s putting on the claws one last time, and is asking people on Twitter what they want to see. Mostly, Hugh has been getting photoshop parodies and ideas involving properties Fox can not use; so we’ll see how that works out. My hope is for a Wolverine movie that doesn’t suck. That second one had me going for a while, then the 3rd act crash landed in stupid town. The whole X-men franchise has had its ups and downs. Over all, I think it comes out in the black, but we have two films left before the nine installments are complete.
Please submit any drawing or painting, using traditional or digital media, that fits the theme: Wolverine.
All art work is due 9 P.M. PST on Friday, 8.7.15. Submissions will be published the weekend of 8.8.15
