MARVEL COMICS RELAUNCHES WOLVERINE
Marvel Comics has announced that Wolverine will return in his own book in February, written by Benjamin Percy and drawn by Adam Kubert as part of its Dawn of X titles.
Here's how Marvel describes the book:
"Following Wolverine as he takes it upon himself to defend the new nation of Krakoa from the humans who would exploit its extraordinary resources. With a new mission comes a new creative team, and Wolverine couldn't ask for a better one to guide him in his new role."
Percy
brought Marvel stories to life in a new way with two scripted podcasts, Marvel's Wolverine: The Long Night, and Marvel's Wolverine: The Lost Trail. Percy takes Wolverine into the criminal underworld to protect mutantkind from outside threats.
"We all have that character," Percy said. "The one we love more than any other. The one we treasure in books and movies and maybe memorialize with a T-shirt or tattoo. The one we relate to as a cracked-mirror version of ourselves. For me -- as a growly, grumpy, hairy, smelly, muscled, flannel-clad, whiskey-swilling loner who lives in the woods of the frozen north -- it's Logan. And though this might sound corny, it also feels right to say that writing Wolverine is a dream come true, a childhood fantasy realized. No kidding, bub."
