Sworn to sell comics for Marvel executives who feared[...]

Now, what about Capverines? Wolvermerica? We're still working that out, but Marvel is definitely releasing Weapon Plus, a one-shot by Ethan Sacks and Diogenes Neves in July starring Wolverine and Captain America, in which we are teased with a conspiracy connecting the two characters and more of the Marvel Universe's Super-Soldiers But if we don't[...]
And it's hard to give much of a crap about these radically different alternate universe versions of the main characters.
Dead Man Logan #6

Wolverine isn't known for being very responsible There's the whole berserker rage thing, of course, and the fact that's he's murdered his own children on multiple occasions But in this preview of Wolverine Infinity Watch #3, Wolverine may finally cross the line when he decides to drink and drive… a space-boat, that is.
It all begins[...]
Because U demanded it? Marvel will publish a Wolverine vs Blade one-shot this July, finally answering the question, what if Marvel let Marc Guggenheim write a Wolverine vs Blade comic? Don't laugh It's a question Marc Guggenheim has been asking for a decade, according to Monkeys Fighting Robots, where Marvel EX-X-XCLUSIVELY revealed the news.
This is[...]
So when Cap tries to get Cyclops to hand over more prisoners in this preview of Uncanny X-Men #16, Scott plays things close to the vest…
But Havok disagrees once Cap leaves, wondering why Scott would go out of his way to protect Hope, and, even more strangely, Dark Beast.
But what really irks Havok is the[...]
Thankfully, there's a place where everyone can seek sanctuary: the Sanctum Sanctorum of Doctor Strange! So that's where everyone is headed when this preview of next week's issue begins…
And it's there we find Jane Foster, cancer-free, but feeling a certain familiar urge…
Is it time to replace Thor again already? So soon? Well, someone does have[...]
This week's issue of X-23 confirms the writing that was on the wall for Marvel's best Wolverine ongoing X-23 will apparently end with May's X-23 #12 Though Marvel hasn't officially announced the book's cancellation, no solicitation for the book appeared in June's solicitaions, released last month The solicitation for May's X-23 #12 certainly looked pretty[...]
But he sits down with another important Marvel hero later in today's issue by Ed Brisson and Mike Henderson, and that character is… himself?!
Yes, the original Wolverine is back, and he's meeting up with his older counterpart for beers this week.
Which forces Logan, Old Man version, to consider whether he should tell his alternate-past self[...]
But mostly it's because his younger self has come back from the dead, and it's tipped the scales as far as Wolverines that can exist in a single universe at the same time (which is seventeen) One has to go, and that one is Old Man Logan.
But before that, there's still another 7 issues of[...]
NextGen and Amazing Nightcrawler are amongst those books, but X-Tremists is the truest deconstruction of it's characters, really digging into what makes them tick by putting them in roles so contrary to their nature.
Age of X-Man: X-Tremists is the Wolverine's Weiner X-Pick of the Week.
Congratulations to the creative team.
Mr and Mrs X #9
(W) Kelly Thompson[...]
Three Wolverines Two Storms, one a child, one the Mohawk version? Uh… Kid Havok? Bill the Lobster, from Fallen Angels, one of the best mini-series ever Professor X and Moira MacTaggert Lilandra Beast… or Dark Beast? Mullet Bishop Vulcan Gateway Warlock? Nimrod Adult Cable (and no Kid Cable) Dazzler in her 70s gear[...]

First, their popular D-Stage line gets two X-Men entries: Wolverine and Phoenix Wolverine is posed on top of a severed Sentinel hand base, in his classic yellow suit that fans know and love Phoenix is in here green suit, with the full power of the Phoenix Force on display behind her with water at her[...]
When you're a several-hundred-years-old curmudgeon like Wolverine, it's got to be hard to adapt to modern times When you're a multi-millennia-years-old space god like Loki, it's got to be even tougher In next week's Wolverine: Infinity Watch #2, this odd couple does their best to cope with this reality in a preview you can see[...]
Though they continue to pay him a retainer to remain Marvel exclusive while refusing to allow him to write an ongoing comic, Marvel has announced a new short story by Chris Claremont to appear in the upcoming Wolverine: Exit Wounds one-shot in June Claremont will team with Salvador Larroca for a story set during the[...]
It's physically impossible for him to stay single.
At least someone finally gets the character in Marvel editorial.
On a somewhat related note, White also answered a question about whether or not Storm and Wolverine could hook up again by saying:
Man, this is the X-Men Pick any two characters and it's only a matter of time before[...]
Wolverine is dying Again Well, to be specific, the older version of Wolverine known as Old Man Logan from an apocalyptic alternate future timeline is dying because the regular Wolverine who died a few years ago has come back from the dead And by dying, we mean very slowly, over the course of a 12-issue[...]
Wolverine: The Long Night is a comic book adaptation of an audio drama podcast about Wolverine, so as you can probably imagine, there's no way we're either reading this or listening to the podcast for that matter But we've been following the previews, so we know that Wolverine is being hunted down by law enforcement[...]
And a preview of next week's issue sees the titular X-Men visit the park to spy on a rally by revolutionary Apocalypse, who dares to preach his touchy-feely values contradicting everything about X-Man's fascist rules right in front of a statue of mutant hero Wolverine.
And Apocalypse's followers know exactly what to do with a statue[...]
And when Marvel finally revealed that Liefeld's big crossover would be a new series called Major X featuring a titular character Liefeld created back in the 90s, coming back to the past from the future to tangle with all the X-characters from those patch-infused, bulging glory days, it was of course more than we could[...]
Wolverine is always going around saying he's the best there is at what he does, but if really were, would he need to tell people so often? The fact is, Wolverine is just the worst Back during the Schism, the beginning of Marvel's attempts to assassinate the character of Cyclops, Wolverine gave Cyclops a lot[...]
For the first couple decades after his introduction, Wolverine was one of the best characters in the X-Men universe Deeply flawed and plagued by demons, but also incredibly loyal and always struggling against his nature to do the right thing But around the time Marvel had Wolverine join the Avengers, he mostly lost any real[...]
And in May, the decade in question is one of the most memorable times for Marvel Comics: the 1980s!
In addition to another chapter of Wolverine's Vigil storyline, Marvel Comics Presents #5 will feature a Nightcrawler story set during the Cross-Time Caper storyline from Chris Claremont and Alan Davis's legendary Excalibur run, written by Claremont himself!

Meet kettle! To make matters worse, Wolverine, who literally brags about being the best he is at what he does (which is killing people) is going to show up with probably the same hypocritical, sanctimonious crap soon enough!
Maybe we'll get lucky and Weapon H will kill them both?
Multiversity had the EX-X-XCLUSIVE preview of this…until we[...]
She also brought Wolverine back to life, which is, perhaps, her worst crime of all But she can't be all bad, can she?
One redeeming quality, according to this preview if next week's issue of Return of Wolverine, is that she's a big supporter of the arts and sciences, having gathered some of the brightest minds[...]
That is, until he ran into his old buddy, Wolverine, also recently returned from the dead, and the only mutant in the world willing to team-up with Cyclops after all the character assassination by Marvel editorial and creative teams over the past decade.
In this preview of next week's issue of Uncanny X-Men, we see a quiet[...]
And Wolverine is back Ehhhh… well, he hasn't done anything too annoying yet.
But all of that changes next week in Wolverine Infinity Watch #1, which shows Logan visiting the X-Mansion for the first time since his return, to meet up with the woman he pined after for decades (and who occasionally pined after him, moreso after[...]
But more importantly, when will Marvel's editorial department team-up to get the continuity straight between the various comics they publish?
