How does Wolverine and the X-Men go on without the title character?

 

Logan lost his healing factor and he’s headed for a final battle next month in Death of Wolverine.

 

Series writer Jason Latour hints at how the book will continue after the demise of the headmaster, mentor, teacher and school co-founder.

 

“Every moment since the decision was made to kill Wolverine came down, we’ve kind of been dealing these events in one way or another. There’s an elephant in the room we really had to stop and address. Fortunately, I think that’s led to a good new direction for the book in a lot of ways. This second arc is a much slower, quieter kind of story, and in it you’ll see the seeds planted for where this book is going to be headed post-“Wolverine.” Continue reading JASON LATOUR On WOLVERINE AND THE X-MEN After Logan’s Death

Storm, Brian Wood, Olivier Coipel – it’s a creative marriage made in geek heaven!

 

X-Men #1 by Wood & Coipel launched this week with Ororo in command of an all-female team. Wood’s smashing take on the mutant windrider on the previous volume of X-Men last year was a hit with fans. I even declared Wood’s writing of Storm was the best since the Chris Claremont golden years.

 

The iconic X-woman recently split from Black Panther, joined the Jean Grey School, and is now sporting her Mohawk again. Wood tells Marvel.com how he found a voice for Storm that resonated with fans.

 

“This is one of those honest answers that don’t always come  across so well in interviews, but I don’t know. [Laughs] I remember when  I started writing X-MEN [in 2012], I said in an interview something about how I  was looking forward to figuring Storm out, to discovering my version of her  voice. In the end I went with my gut, and wrote her as a flawed but determined  leader, one not afraid to make controversial moves if the end goal is a noble  one. And it worked; the reaction to my Storm was beyond overwhelming.

 

I often write from the gut Continue reading Storm Takes Command of Brian Wood’s X-MEN

Storm Joins Wolverine’s X-Men

Storm has joined the teaching staff of the Jean Grey School but new villains appear to be delivering a lesson in cruelty and death in this week’s Wolverine and the X-Men #20. Frankenstein’s Murder Circus is coming to Salem Center. From the issue cover it appears Logan, Ororo and Bobby have been forced to join the freaky carnival.

 

I love that Storm is on the faculty and this image by Nick Bradshaw takes me way back to the Chris Claremont/John Byrne Uncanny X-Men era when Mesmero hypnotized the X-Men into thinking they were part of his traveling circus. Continue reading Storm Joins Wolverine’s X-Men
