Wolverine (Hugh Jackman) goes back in time next year in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Marvel is taking you back into Logan’s past in Origin II this December.

 

Writer Kieron Gillen (Uncanny X-Men, Iron Man) and artist Adam Kubert team up to explore a “lost” tale of the mutant’s youth and his first encounter with a scientist who will become one of the X-Men’s greatest enemies.
