7. The Hype On This Return Was Overblown

We all knew he'd come back eventually, but this was hyped as a genuine surprise.

In fact, the way Marvel talked about this return, fans were led to believe this would be something so unexpected, so game-changing, so break-the-internet-out-of-this-world nuts a return it would compete with something as crazy and unprepared for as, say, the Watchmen being brought into the DC Universe as potential antagonists for the Justice League.

Instead, this 'heart and soul of the Marvel Universe', this unexpected, fan favourite return was... Wolverine.

The guy we all knew would be back before you knew it, and hell, he wasn't even really allowed to rest in peace for long either (more on that later).

But more than that, Marvel have had a number of recent returns announced that kind of spoiled any chance that the return of Wolverine would be as big as they'd hoped.
