Editor's note

Panel 1
*Alex, Sam, and Robin are sitting around a table with a large monitor displaying a graph showing spikes and dips in earnings. Alex is pointing excitedly at a new spike.*
Alex: Look, Sam! If Wolverine slashes through those spikes, we'll hit a gaming goldmine!
Panel 2
*Sam looks unimpressed, arms crossed, while Robin is drawing a comic strip of Wolverine with a checkmark beside the spikes.*
Sam: And if he misses? We're back to the pit of dips.
Robin: But think of the merch! Wolverine-themed bandages and claw-shaped stress balls!
Panel 3
*Alex and Robin are nodding enthusiastically, while Sam sighs and reaches for a mug labeled *
Alex: Betting on Failure.
Alex: It’s a risk, but think of the potential!
Robin: Yeah, and it's not like we've never won big with a gamble!
Sam: I'd rather bet on a sure thing, but when did I ever get to make that call?
