Who says you can’t go home again?
Logan and Kitty Pryde head north to the infamous Howlett estate last seen in Origin.
The fan-favorite X-Man is a dead man running in writer Paul Cornell’s current Wolverine arc. Logan lost his healing factor and is now Killable. This is not the confident cocky X-Man you’re used to and as Cornell tells Marvel.com that’s the idea.
“He’s certainly a bit more melancholy, in that he’s been suddenly faced with what most of us have years to get used to: the idea of mortality. He will indeed, over time, start to build a new fighting style, but right now he’s having to rely on what he’s got, and hope it doesn’t get him killed.”
Cornell explains why he recruited Wolverine’s former sidekick (and now co-headmaster of the Jean Grey School) Kitty Pryde for the adventure.
“I love Kitty, and I love her relationship with Logan. They’ve come such a long way together. She used to be his apprentice, but right now she’s exactly the right person to be the calm voice of reason, when he’s under what could be terminal pressure. I always wanted her around when things came to the terrible point they’re going to come to. They’re going to take a walk into the valley of death together.”
Killable continues in Wolverine #10 arrives Wednesday.
