In order for comicbook wolverine to pop his claws, his wrists must be turned inward in an unnatural position, so the claws can slide from the forearms, between the wrist bones, and out the channels in the back of the hand. Also unrealistically, is the size of the claws to be able to pass thru the channels. Some artists choose to draw the claws as conical stabbing weapons, others draw them as miniature samurai swords. Either way, structurally, sitting atop the back of the hand is a weak mounting for weapons used with as much force as Wolvie uses them.

Movie wolverine evades all that by making the claws slide out thru the thickest parts of the hand, and "lock" into the middle of the fist. The unsheathing of the claws from forearm to the knuckles is far smoother and more logical than the comic version.

Many artists have adopted the knuckle claws lately.

Did you seriously just argue this point? I don't care how realistic it looks. We're talking about a fictional movie based on a comic book. If I've spent years reading the comics and seeing his claws come out a certain way, I'd like the movies to stay at least somewhat true to the original look.
