After reading Wolverine #9, the next to last chapter of Three Months to Die, I thought about my next and maybe best candidate for the next Wolverine. No one can replace James Howlett aka Logan but will someone take up the code-name and carry on the X-Man’s legacy?

When Cornell took over Logan’s solo book he took away the X-Man’s healing power in Killable then in Rogue Logan Wolverine has left the Jean Grey School and works for a low-life criminal. Turns out it was all part of an undercover S.H.I.E.L.D. operation giving Logan a shot at Sabretooth. Continue reading WOLVERINE: THREE MONTHS TO DIE Begins
