It’s Hunting Season in New York City! Logan is tracking dangerous prey: a child?
Paul Cornell and Alan Davis launched a brand new Wolverine series last month.
A young boy is running around New York City in possession of a powerful weapon and the child may be possessed. What will Logan do to stop the kid?
Here’s what Cornell says about this first arc:
“James is involved in a hostage situation in the heart of New York, which spirals into an action-movie chase with him pursuing…he has no idea, and neither do we. It’s something absolutely disciplined, ruthless, and absolutely unconcerned with harming innocents. James has to do something not very nice in front of one such innocent. He’s damned if he’s going to let it happen again.”
Wolverine’s adventures have taken him around the world, into space and across timestreams but Cornell told Marvel.com he plans to keep the X-Man grounded in the new series.
“I like him at street level, but the rather startling guest star that shows up at the end of issue #2 should indicate we’ve got our eye on the wider Marvel Universe too. Street is an interesting place for him to be, because it’s not quite the default, which is surely forest. We’re aiming for a title which actually does introduce him to new readers, while touching only very lightly on his history for those that know it, that isn’t chained down with crossovers, but does acknowledge the existence of, and influence of, a wider reality in other books.”
Hunting Season continues in Wolverine #2 out this week.
