In recent years, top-tier writers from both Marvel and DC have jumped ship to Image Comics or similar publishers to work on creator-owned content, and that's left the former in something of a dilemma. Whereas DC has held on to plenty of big names, Marvel has lost the likes of Mark Millar, Jonathan Hickman, Matt Fraction, Rick Remember, Warren Ellis, and more, but that could now change.

According to Bleeding Cool, Marvel has acknowledged the fact that readers are gravitating towards certain names (hence why Image is doing so well these days, and they're now planning a change.

The site says that they're, "Taking time to line up big-name talent, new and old, across the board for a series of big name titles in 2018, to be created well in advance to avoid the shipping issues that can often affect such in-demand creators." That's exciting news, but buried in another report, it's mentioned that, "as part of Marvel’s meat-and-potatoes in the comics, you’ll be getting Wolverine back too." For comic scoops, Bleeding Cool is reliable, so these comments are worth your attention.

Wolverine's return is arguably long overdue. Right now, X-23 is filling in for him while Old Man Logan has inexplicably taken his place without anyone seeming to care or notice. How and when he'll return remains to be seen, but this links up to what we heard yesterday about a new Marvel in 2018.
