COMICS: WOLVERINE Gets A New Costume And ANOTHER Relaunch Next February
Because Marvel have seemingly developed a new policy that none of their books should reach double digits, Wolverine will be getting ANOTHER #1 issue next year, along with a bizarre sounding new status quo and costume. Hit the jump for details and artwork!
"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. He's now wearing an armor which keeps the shape of his old uniform, but it has, worryingly for readers who've been paying attention, samurai influences, too. He's now carrying a pair of handguns, and fighting hand-to-hand in a different way. He will indeed be using the claws less frequently."
