Mister Sinister in Wolverine ORIGIN II

Origin II will reveal more Wolverine’s past in a new limited series by Kieron Gillen and Adam Kubert. Marvel made the announcement at San Diego Comic Con this past weekend.

Origin revealed Wolverine’s childhood, real age and real name (James Howlett) and his connection to arch-enemy Sabretooth.

Writer Kieron Gillen promises this new series exposes more background of one of the X-Men’s greatest enemies: Mister Sinister.

“This is a good example of what I mean by [the series] being self-contained,” Gillen tells Marvel.com. “Nathaniel Essex has the sort of background that keeps Wikipedia editors at work forever. His appearance in ORIGIN II entirely fits into his personal chronology, but for those who don’t know anything about him will treat him as he appears, as in, a disgraced London scientist moving into increasingly unethical areas, discovering a strange new species for the first time. One of the working titles for Origin II was ‘Origin of the Species.’ Read into that as you will. Continue reading Mister Sinister in Wolverine ORIGIN II

Steve McNiven Joins UNCANNY AVENGERS

Uncanny Avengers have faced Red Skull, Apocalypse, Kang and the Apocalypse Twins but the Unity team’s ultimate destruction could be from each other.

Artist Steve McNiven (Civil War) joins Rick Remender with Uncanny Avengers #14 for the finale of what’s been building since the team formed in the aftermath of Avengers vs. X-Men. Wolverine’s actions in Uncanny X-Force by Remender are back to haunt him and his friendship with Captain America.

“They’ve allowed personal differences and petty rivalries, all of the things we humans allow to create conflict amongst us, to fester,” Remender tells Marvel.com about the next act. Continue reading Steve McNiven Joins UNCANNY AVENGERS

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
