Paul Cornell comes back to Marvel in a big way! Cornell and legendary artist Alan Davis launch a brand new Wolverine #1.
Logan is an X-Man, Avenger, Headmaster. For his reputation as a loner the hero may actually be a super “people” person.
How will Wolverine’s friends and allies play roles in the series
“He likes people. He’s actually a very strange creature. He chooses to keep himself grounded and involved with human beings, to be both an effectively immortal mutant with additional military implants, and this guy who likes bars and beer,” Cornell tells Marvel.com,
I think [he sees] them as fellow professionals, people who do the same job he does. “Hero” would be a difficult word for most of them. He takes responsibility, I think, and he likes the company of others who do the same, particularly young Nick Fury, who’s his buddy movie partner for a lot of this. If I have a voice in my head for James, it’s the young Clint Eastwood, who’s got a nice, tough line in not taking himself too seriously. I think Hugh Jackman has an eye on him when he plays the part too.
Also, I’m tweaking the way Wolverine speaks, just a little. I’m dropping a few older language choices into his speech balloons, the ways of speaking he learned in his youth, just every now and then; just because it’s fun. I’m also not using “bub.” I just think it’s overplayed a bit now.”
Cornell confirms Logan’s teammates will appear in the series.
“Yes, when it would be weird not to do so. If he needs to talk on equal terms with cops he doesn’t know, of course he’ll get out his Avengers ID. If he needs a science job done, of course he’ll find friends who can do it. I don’t like titles to be hermetically sealed against what’s going on elsewhere, but I don’t like them to be trailing behind that either. As far as I’m concerned, this is Wolverine’s central title, where you go for your Wolverine news.”
