Essential Wolverine, Vol. 4

[Tetsubo]

I just finished reading Essential Wolverine, Vol. 4 last night. It ends with Wolverine going toe-to-toe with an apparantly suicidal Sabertooth, his healing factor is next to useless and he's sporting the oh so fashionable bone claws. I don't mind a story line with Wolverine having bone claws BEFORE he got the adamantium version. But I much prefer him with the metal claws*.

So... can anyone tell me when his healing factor returns to full power and when (and how) he gets his adamantium claws back? Pretty please...

* While the metal claws are ubercool I realize that they are ultimately silly. One, single claw would be much better at cutting through objects. And once an object gets much harder than bone, not a lot of cutting is going to take place... but I do so love Wolverine as he is...

 

[Logan]

Spoilers ahead:






His Healing factor came back in #88, after Deadpool stabbed him with his swords. It took awhile to get back to full power, but once it did, it was much stronger then it was while he had the adamantium bones. It's at full strength by issue #100, I think. EDIT: It comes back in #92, after Logan gets run over by a car, of all things. The adamantium comes back in issue #145, where Apocalypse put the metal back on his bones to make Wolverine his horseman Death.
