Anybody doubting my assertion that Wolverine is, most definitely, part of Marvel’s “Big Three” ought to think about this fact coming out of C2E2 - - soon, there will be at least books coming out with “Wolverine” in their titles. Put those on top of all the Avengers and X-Men books that the ol’ Canucklehead already appears in, and it’s pretty clear that the guy has a presence in the Marvel U that’s too prolific to ignore.
First off, is a new WOLVERINE series by Jason Aaron and Renator Guedes, with covers by Jae Lee. The first arc of the series, titled “Wolverine Goes to Hell”, succinctly brings the man sometimes called Logan to the nether realm to face down all the scumbags he’s killed over his decades-long career. There will be a mystery as to who sent Wolverine to Hell, and how they did it, as well as some machinations from demons looking to make him to stick to his murderous ways. The new ongoing monthly’s starting in September.
The other Wolverine title isn’t about Logan, per se - - it’s a solo title for his evil son. DAKEN: DARK WOLVERINE hasn’t got a release date, yet, but it’ll be drawn by Giuseppe Camuncoli and written by the duo of Marjorie Liu and Daniel Way (check out Babs’ interview with Ms. Liu). The creative team haven’t gotten into much detail about the book, suffice it to say the Daken will continue to be a rat bastard bad ass.
Just a quick question - - has Marvel ever come out and revealed that Flex from ALPHA FLIGHT is Wolverine’s son? Because that was hinted at for a LONG time, and I’d be curious to see how he gets along with his evil half-brother, seeing as how he didn’t quite get along with his other half-brother, Unus’ son Radius, that well.
