Who says you can’t go home again?

The fan-favorite X-Man is a dead man running in writer Paul Cornell’s current Wolverine arc. Logan 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. Continue reading WOLVERINE Goes Home To Die?

Wolverine Back From the Wild in ORIGIN II

Origin II explores more of the tortured past of the young man who would grow up to be the X-Man known as Wolverine. On the heels of Marvel’s surprise announcement at SDCC, writer Kieron Gillen (Uncanny X-Men, Iron Man, Young Avengers) talks about where his story will pick up 10 years after the events of Origin.

 

“The last we saw of James was disappearing into the woods with wolves at the end of Origin,” Gillen tells Marvel.com. “That’s where he’s been ever since. He runs with a family pack, and has completely removed himself from human civilization. He’s found a kind of peace. He’s found a kind of family. The first scene is him, with the pack, hunting. The opening is really raw; I talk about the period novel feel a lot, but I have a sort of ‘Jack London with modern research’ approach to the wolves. Hell, the whole structure does owe a little to ‘White Fang.’ Continue reading Wolverine Back From the Wild in ORIGIN II

X-Men Field Trip! Wolverine’s Redneck Brother!

 Wolverine takes his students to the Savage Land. A man named Dog could be more dangerous than any of that lost world’s dinosaurs! That Dog is Logan’s brother from Origin!

In This week’s Wolverine and the X-Men#25 Jason Aaron and Ramon Perez continue tradition of mutants in the Savage Land. My first comic book was Uncanny X-Men #116 To Save the Savage Land when the mutants teamed up with Ka-Zar against Garokk.

“The arc drawn by Ramon Perez in the Savage Land is not your typical Savage Land arc. It’s about Wolverine’s brother, Dog, showing up. Though if you’re an X-Man, fighting dinosaurs in the Savage Land is a rite of passage,” Aaron said.

You heard right – Wolverine’s brother.

“Dog is a tragic character. He was raised by an abusive father, watching his brother grow up in the house on the hill. I’m enjoying writing Continue reading X-Men Field Trip! Wolverine’s Redneck Brother!
