MAX imprint Wolverine mini-series announced

[zuludelta]

Finally, a Wolverine book to look forward to. Writer Brian K. Vaughn (Runaways, Y: The Last Man, Pride of Baghdad, Lost TV series story editor) and artist Eduardo Risso (100 Bullets) are the creative team behind next year's "Logan," the first "mature readers" book featuring Marvel's most popular mutant.

More details and preview art here.

Oh wow. I really love both the artist and the writer, if it's a good story too I'll buy two copies.

I only hope it's not more wolvie retcon, I swear marvel has made it so that wolvie has had his hairy paws in every part of history of every country.

If it's anything like the Shang-Chi and Punisher MAX books, it'll probably be out-of-regular-continuity (which is how I prefer these types of stories anyway) but refers to vaguely broad, established, general knowledge of the character's history (so I'm pretty sure what we'll have is the more traditional "ronin with a mysterious past" Wolverine from the 1980s instead of the current "he's an Avenger but he's also with the X-Men whilst searching out his origins" Wolverine).

Wolverine out of continuity? That'd be weird considering the character is so continuity heavy.

Love the creators, though, so it'll probably be interesting.

Shiny. I was a big proponent of Greg Rucka's run on Wolverine a couple (few?) years ago and that was mostly out of continuity. Vaughn also wrote a couple of my favorite series' of that time (Mystique was underrated in my opinion, Y and Pride are simply amazing).

Something new to read. :)
