The cinematic Logan (Hugh Jackman) may have been weakened and suffered a world of hurt in The Wolverine this summer but that’s nothing compared to what writer Paul Cornell is putting the X-Man through in Killable.
In the current Wolverine arc, Logan is searching for help after losing his healing factor. The eternal X-Man is like the title says is Killable. His enemies aren’t wasting this opportunity to try and take Logan out for good.
Logan’s big enemy is a microvirus. Mystique and Batroc have taken their best shots with more bad guys on the way but what about Wolverine’s ultimate enemy?
“Sabretooth has not only put a bounty on Logan’s head, but he has working with him, as X-title readers will know, some of the most powerful villains from Wolverine’s past. All of them would like to see just what “killable” means in practice. Sabretooth is a long shadow looming over this title. It’ll be a while before he arrives,” Cornell tells Marvel.com.
It’s Logan and Sabretooth as you’ve never seen before but Cornell recruited Wolverine’s former sidekick (and now co-headmaster of the Jean Grey School) Kitty Pryde on Logan’s 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.”
Logan and Kitty head to the old Howlett estate as Killable continues in Wolverine #10 next month.
