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.”

The cinematic Logan (Hugh Jackman) may have been weakened and suffered a world of hurt in The Wolverine this summer but that’s nothing compared to what writer Paul Cornell is putting the X-Man through in Killable.

 

In the current Wolverine arc, Logan is searching for help after losing his healing factor. The eternal X-Man is like the title says is Killable. His enemies aren’t wasting this opportunity to try and take Logan out for good.

 

Logan’s big enemy is a microvirus. Mystique and Batroc have taken their best shots with more bad guys on the way but what about Wolverine’s ultimate enemy? Continue reading WOLVERINE, Sabretooth, Kitty Pryde in KILLABLE

The Black Order of Thanos is attacking Earth while the Avengers are fighting The Builders in space. New heroes are rising up to protect the planet in Infinity: The Hunt.  The first issue arrives Wednesday.

 

Writer Matt Kindt reveals Wolverine, She-Hulk and Hank Pym are the co-leads in this “contest of champions” tie-in series:

 

“Well, the contest isn’t going to get to take place. It gets pre-empted by Thanos; so in true villain form he ruins everything, including my new contest of champions! But it happens in such a way that we’ll get introduced to a few brand new schools that are teaching “weirdly talented” students,” Kindt told Marvel.com. Continue reading INFINITY THE HUNT
