Wolverine’s success story is interesting to look at. He came around at exactly the right time, when the rise of the anti-hero in pop culture extended into the comic book industry. Wolverine being put into the X-Men reboot that began in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (by Len Wein, Dave Cockrum, Peter Iro, Glynis Wein, and John Constanza) was a stroke of good luck, because the team quickly became the hottest ticket in the comic industry.Wolverine got his first solo book in 1982, a miniseries by Chris Claremont, Frank Miller, Josef Rubinstein, Glynis Wein, and Tom Orzechowski, and was soon a bona fide solo star. Since then, Wolverine has starred in multiple miniseries, one-shots, and ongoing books. Marvel has done a lot to make Wolverine a star, and DC Comics could use Wolverine’s example to make their books even better.DC’s team comics are much different from Marvel’s. Team books like Justice League of America, Justice Society of America, Teen Titans, and Titans are all about putting the stars of the DC Universe on display, especially in the modern era. DC has been selling itself as the legacy publisher since Crisis on Infinite Earths, especially since the success of comics like JLA, JSA, and 2003’s Teen Titans. These books all became bestsellers by taking things back to the basics, focusing on DC’s legacy characters and superstars. DC rarely uses team books to introduce all-new characters nowadays, but without this method, Wolverine would have never become a star. Even today, many of Wolverine’s most beloved stories came from his time in team books, especially the X-Men comics. Wolverine got popular because people wanted to read X-Men stories. This is a method DC has mostly forgotten in their modern comics, and one they should go back to.
