NYCC 2019: Dawn Of X Expands With New Wolverine Series In February
by James Ferguson
Jonathan Hickman’s first bold step forward for the X-Men wraps up this week with Powers of X #6. There are a number of series spinning out of this under the banner of Dawn of X. Marvel Comics has announced one more debuting in February with Wolverine.
As announced at the Marvel Comics X-Men: Dawn of X panel at New York Comic Con, the new Wolverine series will follow the character as he defends the new nation of Krakoa from the humans who want to exploit its extraordinary resources. The series is written by Ben Percy, who wrote both of Marvel’s recent scripted podcasts featuring Wolverine, The Long Night and The Lost Trail. That’s all well and good, but the big news is that Adam Kubert is illustrating the series. He’ll be joined by Victor Bogdonavic.
Writer Ben Percy says:
We all have that character. The one we love more than any other. The one we treasure in books and movies and maybe memorialize with a T-shirt or tattoo. The one we relate to as a cracked-mirror version of ourselves. For me — as a growly, grumpy, hairy, smelly, muscled, flannel-clad, whiskey-swilling loner who lives in the woods of the frozen north — it’s Logan. And though this might sound corny, it also feels right to say that writing Wolverine is a dream come true, a childhood fantasy realized. No kidding, bub.
Wolverine #1 is set for release in February 2020.
