Warning! Spoilers ahead for Wolverine #10!
Wolverine’s father just made an unexpected return to Marvel canon, in order to confront his son from beyond the grave, in the most ominous possible way: as a life-sucking specter, of sorts, a power that offers a dark counterpoint to Logan’s healing abilities. Wolverine’s latest adventure has forced him to face the ghosts of his past in multiple ways, but this is the most literal instance yet.
Wolverine #10, written by Saladin Ahmed, with art by Javier Pina, sends Logan back to the Howlett Estate, the site of his traumatic origin story. There, he is accosted by wraith-like apparitions of both John Howlett, the man he grew up believing was his father, and Thomas Logan, his biological sire.
The wraiths of both long-dead men prove to be more than just spooky apparitions, as they proceed to attack Wolverine, and nearly drain him of his life force,...

Wolverine is the only superhero to have a movie titled after his real name, 2017's "Logan," which we at /Film named the best "X-Men" movie. Somehow, I don't expect we'll ever be getting a Superman movie called "Clark" or a Batman film titled "Bruce." Wolverine's past is shrouded in mystery though; even he doesn't remember most of it. Is "Logan" even his real name? Yes — but it's complicated.
Wolverine was introduced without much context in 1974's "Incredible Hulk" #180 (by Len Wein and Herb Trimpe) when the Hulk makes his way to Canada and tangles with the local hero. Nothing was said about Wolverine's life outside his yellow costume, or if he even had one. When Wein was tasked with rebooting the X-Men in 1975, he reused Wolverine as part of the new line-up; since his introduction was so vague, it was easy to rewrite Wolverine into a mutant. Still, Wolverine remained mysterious,...

If…. is a satirical look at the public school system in the late 1960s but while there is a dark sense of humour in place there is also a scathing examination that seems all too real. The system of privilege that is in place and the bullying culture feels not only to be a part of the school system, but society itself. In fact the problems we have with politics to this day can be seen in If…. where these children in a boys only school are being moulded to take the top jobs in society, even as political leaders, being given a warped view on society and a perspective on life that many of the unprivileged (read that as the ‘normal people’) could never...

Our Smiths-loving Pm has delivered another headscratcher in claiming to like Lindsay Anderson's anti-establishment standard
Like his claim to dig the music of the Smiths, David Cameron's professed admiration for the Lindsay Anderson film If … is either a fantastically canny attempt to deflect attention from his unswervingly patrician background or an act of cultural self-delusion on a massive scale.
I incline towards the latter. If … is without doubt the flag-bearer for the British end of the cinematic counter-culture in the late 60s, with its incendiary, anti-establishment finale of schoolboys machine-gunning their teachers, but it's also a film that could only have been made by products of the public-school system. Screenwriter David Sherwin – he originated the project with another writer, John Howlett, who subsequently backed out – went to Tonbridge School; Anderson himself was a pupil at Cheltenham College, where If … was largely filmed.
If … caught the flavour of the times when it was screened,...
