Snikt!
Seems these days, you can't enter a comic shop, a web site, or, soon again, a movie theater, without bumping into everyone's favorite, claw-poppin' mutant, Wolverine. I know he's a comic book character, but really, how can one guy be in so many places at once?
Not only is this long-running character slicing his way through at least a dozen titles each month, but he's also got an unrelated one-shot title on the shelves every few weeks, as well as brand-new, previously untold tales in First Class, X-Men/Spider-Man, and more.
I'll admit that I am a part of the problem; I do read a few X-Men titles as well as the regular Wolverine book (the current storyline, Mark Millar's "Old Man Logan," is great), therefore supporting the expanding glut of Wolvie's franchise. But my question is, who the hell is buying all of this other stuff every week?
Here's a list of recent books from the past couple of years, featuring the bad-ass Canadian hero (not including Marvel Apes, or the Ultimate stuff).
Astonishing Tales * Astonishing X-Men * Cable * Dark Avengers * Eternals * Mighty Avengers * New Avengers * Secret Invasion * Secret Invasion: Frontline * Secret Invasion: X-Men * She-Hulk * Uncanny X-Men * Weapon X: First Class * Wolverine * Wolverine and Power Pack * Wolverine: First Class * Wolverine: Manifest Destiny * Wolverine: Origins * X-Factor * X-Force * X-Men Legacy * X-Men: Manifest Destiny * X-Men Noir * X-Men vs. Hulk * X-Infernus * Young Avengers * Young X-Men
The single-story, One-Shot issues have been pretty bloody and pointless, but if you must:

Chop Shop
Dangerous Game
Firebreak
Flies to a Spider
Killing Made Simple
Saudade
Switchback
Wolverine Annual #2: Roar
X-Force: Ain't No Dog
