Illustrating that even the scruffiest looking and grizzled characters in comics aren't averse to grooming themselves now and then (as they should), Wolverine's admission to Frank Castle that he's partial to the odd Bath Bomb in Marvel Comics #1000 manages to catch everyone off guard - in more ways than one.

You see, this particular story was written by Punisher Max alum Garth Ennis, a writer famous for his macabre and cynical take on superheroes and violence. He's had ol' Frank terrorise Logan on more than one occasion, but he's also had them team up as well.

Needless to say, two burly, badass war veterans working together should impart a specific kind of tone; the kind usually typical of Ennis' bibliography.

Except, in the special anniversary issue, that isn't the case at all. Given but a page to work his magic alongside artist Gorlan Parlov, Ennis instead opts to depict the two anti-heroes' softer sides. Flanked by enemies, Logan starts meditating and admits to Frank that he loves using bath bombs, promising that he'll get Frank a crate of them if they make it out alive.

Honestly? It's a relief to hear that Logan is keeping himself clean, and even more unexpectedly great to learn that he probably makes regular trips to Lush on the sly.

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
