Paul Cornell and Ryan Stegman on board for WOLVERINE #1

Yes, it's another relaunch. More importantly, let's focus on this creative team.

It's clear that with Marvel Now and All-New Marvel Now, we're seeing more and more series being relaunched. It makes sense and might be annoying for long time readers but we should focus more on the actual content.

Take the just announced WOLVERINE #1. Paul Cornell is still writing but now we're seeing Ryan Stegman take over the art duties. Will that mean no more Spider-Man for Stegman? Well, he does appear on one of the covers unveiled (looks like it's for issue #2).

No Caption Provided

This February, experience the next thrilling chapter in the life of Marvel’s most dangerous mutant in the explosive WOLVERINE #1 – from the blockbuster writer Paul Cornell and superstar artist Ryan Stegman! And you’ve never seen a Logan like this before – working for a…small-time super-villain?!

Beaten, bloodied, and left for dead by Sabretooth, Logan is out for revenge! And he’s going to get it by any means necessary! But before he can take on Sabretooth again – he’ll have to get better, stronger, and smarter than ever before! But that’s not as easy as he may have thought. And soon he’ll find himself turning to darker, more sinister means of getting what he wants – all in the name of retribution! Even if that means operating on the wrong side of the law to do it!

“The first arc is called ‘Payback’ and that’s where we find him: working for a crime boss called The Offer, alongside a “family” of low-rent super-villains,” said series writer Paul Cornell in an interview with Marvel.com.

“Paul and Ryan’s take on Wolverine is bold, modern, and dark as hell,” says Editor Jeanine Schaefer. “In the aftermath of KILLABLE, Logan is a changed man, and readers will be getting to know him all over again. And wait until you see Ryan’s art – he’s never looked better!”

Can Logan fight back his demons and find the hero within? Or is this the beginning of a Wolverine who’s gone over to the dark side? A bold new direction for the Marvel’s most dangerous mutant begins this February in WOLVERINE #1! Each issue of Wolverine includes a code for a free digital copy on the Marvel Comics app (for iPhone®, iPad®, iPad Touch® & Android devices). Additionally, each issue of Wolverine features special augmented reality content available exclusive through the Marvel AR app – including cover recaps, behind the scenes features and more that add value to your reading experience at no additional cost.

Ok, I'm in a conflict here. I do really like Wolverine (Character, not what they are currently doing) and would love to start a new Wolverine series, always provided the plot and art ist good. I just won't spend my hard earned money on a bad run, however much I love the character. And anything I read in the previous stuff since NOW ! just doesn't get me. again refferring to make him killable to keep things itnersting? really? I'm at a loss. Savage seems to be amusing, may be I settle for the trades of that.

Any one any clue, Does he have his healing facter back yet? could this nes direction get as intesting as it initially sounds? Stegmans art is so promising, I'm tempted. pm me if it's to spoilerie, I wouldn't mind, I try to make a decision. Thanks anyone.

@grey56: The problem with your post is that you have no context with it. You obviously have not seen the obsessive posts over a period of years and have no real understanding of the history going on here. He's not voicing any complaint about Marvel or them "saturating the market" in that post. He's simply making an inflamatory post about a particular character and that's it.

See, I too have the freedom to express what I'd like and that's for him to cut the childish B.S. out and stop trolling every Wolverine thread and article that pops up.

What the hell are you going on about? Obsessive? I hardly think so, I'v barely commented in any Wolverine threads, get a grip.

popping his claws and getting a bad infection

I've always wondered how non-healing factor Wolverine avoids infections from his claws alone. He sticks those things in all sorts of nasty stuff and just retracts them back in. Dude must have a lifetime supply of hand sanitizer.

At his age and the amount of hand sanitizer the germs would become super germs at his age and immune to sanitizer

Dude, just stop. Focus on what you like and stop hating already. It's old and tired.

It's truly an open forum whereupon he's free to express what he'd like. And it's neither old nor tired to all of us; it's voicing what we prefer by indicating what we don't.

Just as a separate complain though; look up how often this series alone has been re-skinned in a new volume over the last 5 years. Then look at how long the first series ran for.

What

@jonny_anonymous

is voicing is not an uncommon conceit; Marvel is saturating the market and re-plying us the consumers with more flash and less bang. And until the market stops buying - Marvel will act like any rational actor and take the money train to candy mountain.

Only weird thing is: why the renumbering thing? We had that not even two years ago. Coulnd't this just be a new story arc, with a new creative team, and that's it?

Not a really conplaint, mind you, I was just wondering if there is an actual reason.

I know exactly what that threads purpose is. I would be nothing less than shocked if you actually read one of those recommendations. It should have been locked even if it was (which we both know it wasn't) an actual attempt to get recommendations. I've seen many locked and then given the link to the official recommendations thread and considering how long you've been on the site you've probably seen it as well.

I don't know why you argue this. You act like you don't constantly post comments that are hateful towards the character.

The thread "I think Wolverine will die..." just posted on Nov. 10th has you right there with the 3rd post quoting another known Wolverine hater InnerVenom's post....

"Wolverine dies?.... yay!"

Who do you think you're fooling? We both know how it is. It's been going on a long time. I will never understand people like you who post so much about characters they don't like. I simply asked you to stop making these posts that you know you make so that people like myself don't have to open every Wolverine article and thread and have to see the same old stupid hate comments.

Wow... I actually read a few issues of Old Man Logan after being recommended, I'm even considering reading the first issue of this since I'm a fan of Cornell. I don't hate Wolverine I just hate what Marvel do with him.

I totally don't get this. I mean I know it's comics, but I don't get it. If wolverine had no healing factor, shouldn't he be dead? Bones of adamantium? C'mon son!

And what's with all the relaunches?

I feel like wolverine should use guns more. I mean it would be easy to deal with Sabretooth, it would put him down permanently but it would save like an hour of his day. also the black on his suite make an "X" and I don't like that. I get it your an X-Man, what does that even prove to any one other than you're a mutant.

I like the new costume. It doesn't look too bad. If they could have incorporated an X-Force style costume that would have been cool but I guess it would be too much like Batman then.

As for his healing powers, maybe they are gone and that is why he needs his armor suit. But what I don't get is how can he still be able to move? His healing factor gave him the superhuman strength to move with the weight of the adamantium. If there is no healing power, then it should be harder for him to move with all that weight from the skeleton plus the new armor suit. Plus, his endurance, agility and reflexes should be similarly depowered. I'm thinking maybe he has enough of his healing factor left to compensate for the poisoning and his mobility, but not enough to be as he used to be.

@allstarsuperman: when the Marvel Now movement came out I liked it! It brought me back to Marvel. But these constant restarts are annoying, unnecessary, and quickly turning me away from Marvel again. I just don't see any value on comic books series that will be restarted every year (apparently). Marvel IS KILLING THE CONCEPT OF CLASSIC, memorable runs. It's sad.

New readers can always jump on when a new arc starts.A relaunch isn't an answer for a thing like that.If the title was going for like 50 or more issues I would get it but it has had 11 issues.

I don't see anything wrong with just starting to read a series when a new arc begins... besides, the current Wolverine series has been going on for what, 12 issues? You'd have to be incredibly lazy to be intimidated by a number like that. So yeah, I don't see the point of renumbering the series either

Just a random guess. I honestly don't know what the reason is for the issue renumbering,but just a guess.
