The final adventure of a fan-favorite X-Man begins this week.
Three Months To Die begins in Wolverine #8 by Paul Cornell. Then Death of Wolverine by Charles Soule follows.
When Cornell took over Logan’s solo book he took away the X-Man’s healing power in Killable then in Rogue Logan Wolverine has left the Jean Grey School and works for a low-life criminal. Turns out it was all part of an undercover S.H.I.E.L.D. operation giving Logan a shot at Sabretooth.
In Wolverine #8 by Cornell and Kris Anka Logan is joined by Iron Fist, Shang-Chi as they battle an army of ninjas. It’s just one of the final battles before Wolverine meets his end.
“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.”
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 Wednesday.
