WOLVERINE Is a Killable X-Man

Logan is a dead man running in writer Paul Cornell’s current Wolverine arc. The X-Man has lost his healing factor and is now Killable. This is not the confident cocky X-Man you’re used to and as Cornell tells Marvel.com that’s the idea.

 

“He’s certainly a bit more melancholy, in that he’s been suddenly faced with what most of us have years to get used to: the idea of mortality. He will indeed, over time, start to build a new fighting style, but right now he’s having to rely on what he’s got, and hope it doesn’t get him killed.”

Wolverine’s Avenging Friends

How can Logan defeat an enemy he can’t punch, hack or slash? Writer Paul Cornell and artist Alan David kicked off Wolverine’s new solo book with a deadly trail of alien carnage ripping through New York City in the first two issues. Can Nick Fury Jr. help Logan beat this impossible new foe in this week’s Wolverine #3.

Borrowing the words of a famous songwriter can Logan “get by with a little help from his friends?”

Wolverine is an X-Man, an Avenger, a Headmaster. Logan may have a reputation as a loner but this hero may actually be a super “people” person. Paul Cornell explains how Logan’s friends and allies will play a role as the series moves forward:

“He likes people. He’s actually a very strange creature. He chooses to keep himself grounded and involved with human beings, to be both an effectively immortal mutant with additional military implants, and this guy who likes bars and beer,” Cornell tells Marvel.com,

I think [he sees] them as fellow professionals, people who do the same job he does. “Hero” would be a difficult word for most of them. He takes responsibility, I think, and he likes the company of others who do the same, particularly Continue reading Wolverine’s Avenging Friends

It’s Hunting Season in New York City! Logan is tracking dangerous prey: a child?

Paul Cornell and Alan Davis launched a brand new Wolverine series last month.

A young boy is running around New York City in possession of a powerful weapon and the child may be possessed. What will Logan do to stop the kid?

Here’s what Cornell says about this first arc:

James is involved in a hostage situation in the heart of New York, which spirals into an action-movie chase with him pursuing…he has no idea, and neither do we. It’s something absolutely disciplined, ruthless, and absolutely unconcerned with harming innocents. James has to do something not very nice in front of one such innocent. He’s damned if he’s going to let it happen again.”

Wolverine’s adventures have taken him around the world, into space and across timestreams but Cornell told Marvel.com he plans to keep the X-Man grounded in the new series.

“I like him at street level, but the rather startling guest star that shows up at the end of issue #2 should indicate we’ve got our eye on the wider Marvel Universe too. Street is an interesting place for him to be, because it’s not quite the default, which is surely forest. We’re aiming for a title which actually does introduce him to new readers, while touching only very lightly on his history for those Continue reading Wolverine #2 Preview

Testing Wolverine’s Powers

Paul Cornell and Alan Davis launch a brand new Wolverine #1 this week meaning new ways to punish the fan favorite hero.

Logan has been burned down to his skeleton, ripped apart and mutilated over and over in the past. The X-Man’s mutant healing factor has inspired writers to dream up some bizarre acts of violence. I wanted so share some of Cornell’s Marvel.com interview in which the writer aims to make the un-killable hero “vulnerable in other ways: human ways, emotional ways.”

As I said before Wolverine has been put through the ringer because of his healing factor but Cornell says not to expect Continue reading Testing Wolverine’s Powers
