Wolverine # 1 Spoilers

Some spoilers for the All New Marvel Now Release WOLVERINE # 1 by Paul Cornell and Ryan Stegman.

So the long and short of it is that Wolverine has turned into a villain, joined a crime group of D-Listers and by also goes out of his way to actually kill an investigative reporter for the Daily Bugle. Of course this happens after the somber ending of Cornell's 'season 1' Wolverine book. The events at the end of Wolverine # 14 spins directly into this.

What kind of villain name is "The Offer"? How is he related to "The Answer"?

BLAM! Wolverine using a gun. Let alone Wolverine killing somebody that's unarmed and a non-threat. Usually it's a bad thing but c'mon, this is Paul Cornell. The guys a great (although underrated) writer.

Next issue has the Superior Spider-Man guest starring. Should be interesting how that pans out considering they're now both inversions of their past.

Bit of review: I love Ryan Stegman's work on this book. It's so fresh to see look at and I already miss him on Superior. That being said, the art and the colors are nice and considering the violent PG-13-esque stories here on Wolverine I think he's a good fit. Please stay on the book Stegman.

Wolverine # 13 Spoilers - KILLABLE Ending

The current volume of Wolverine ends and it doesn't end with action rather Paul Cornell takes the high road and gives us a full on climatic AND dramatic finish. Wolverine # 13 spoilers up and about.

In this issue, Sabretooth does a half-issue long tirade about the hypocrisy of Wolverine while Logan is bleeding like a pig on the floor, struck down by (what I assume is) the Muramasa blade. Creed decides not to kill off Wolverine and leaves. The virus, which has been Logan's main opponent for this volume, then does a last ditch effort to save itself by offering to use Wolverine's body and restart his healing factor.

The virus dies and when Logan slowly gets back up, he breaks the sword...

... and the soon-to-be-dead Watcher, Uatu makes another appearance...

When Kitty Pryde and Logan return to school, Wolverine's current flame Storm checks on Wolverine and he goes all emo-y with this line...

Yup. It's sad and now makes me want to read the next volume, which will feature Logan in a new armored costume and among criminals. It's by Paul Cornell and Ryan Stegman this time.

Wolverine # 13 everybody.

Wolverine Dons Armor for All New Marvel Now Relaunch

To hammer the point that Wolverine is overrated at Marvel Comics, here's the cover for Wolverine # 1 which will be part of All New Marvel Now. 

Here's the full version of the cover for the book which will be written by Paul Cornell with art by Superior Spider-Man artist Ryan Stegman. 

Cornell had this to say: "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. Following the end of “Killable,” he’s decided to simplify his life and drop his responsibilities."

"The Offer is a minor super villain gang boss who has the power to make the best possible offer. It’s not hypnotism; you’re free to turn him down. But his offers tend to make people think twice. He’s a caring, fatherly presence to his gang, but he’s not really a good man.

His gang includes Pinch, who Logan is in a relationship with, who can pull threads from any material; Fuel, who increases powers, and thus can make Logan move at high speed; and the Lost Boy, who can make anything ignite, and who has a complicated attitude towards what heroism and villainy might be. Logan worries about him."

This also kinda explains the new suit he was drawn in for one of the early teasers for INHUMANITY
