Will Marvel really kill off Wolverine?
In an CBR exclusive – Marvel revealed 3 Months To Die – a new story arc kicking off in Wolverine by Paul Cornell this June.
Cornell took away Logan’s healing power in Killable and now in Rogue Logan he’s Wolverine has left the Jean Grey School and works for a low-life criminal. Ryan Stegman designed a new costume with armor to better protect Logan now this he’s vulnerable.
In Wolverine #8 by Cornell and Kris Anka begin the clock on what appears to be the demise of Logan.
“We are going to fully explore Wolverine’s mortality, what that means to him, what that means to the X-Men, what it means to the Marvel Universe — and we’re not going to be shy. We’re not going to be nervous about what storylines we might decide to pursue here,” X-Men Group Editor Mike Marts told Comic Book Resources.
“The healing factor is probably one of the single most important things that defines Logan as a character, a mutant and a superhero. You strip that away, and automatically you’re going to be pushing the character into new directions that he’s never been before. It’s uncharted territory for the character, for the creators and most certainly for the readers. That’s going to give us exciting stories.”
Marts revealed the story takes place over three months in Wolverine #8-#12.
As for critics who say Marvel would never really kill of Wolverine, Editor-In-Chief replied:
“I’d say read before you judge!”
3 Months To Die begins in June.
