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
