The end of an X-Man begins in Death of Wolverine #1.
Logan lost his mutant healing factor. The once-immortal mutant is on his final adventure starting this Wednesday.
Writer Charles Soule and artist Steve McNiven are the team behind the X-Man’s last battle.
“The cover for #1 really developed from Steve’s interpretation of some earlier ideas we were kicking around—like the silhouettes he mentions—bringing more of the specific story of this issue into it. Each part of the Death of Wolverine has a different location and even genre, to an extent, and the covers came to reflect each of those impressions in a very cool way.
The idea here, with #1, is to focus on the idea that Logan has been associated with the wilderness for as long as we’ve known him. To get more specific, I wanted to reflect stories like ORIGIN with this issue, and it does that in spades. There are elements more directly connected to the plot of this story that you’ll understand when you read the issue, but let’s save that for September,” Soule told Marvel.com.
As you can see from the preview pages below, Logan is consults Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four. Wolverine has his allies but his enemies are closing in now that he’s vulnerable.
Of all Logan’s foes, who will deliver the killing blow or does Wolverine end his long life on his own terms?
Death of Wolverine #1 arrives Wednesday.
