Past and future are set to collide in Benjamin Percy’s X LIVES OF WOLVERINE and X DEATHS OF WOLVERINE, two interlocking new X-Men series debuting this January.
Like the House of X and Powers of X ushered in the First Krakoan Age of the X-Men, Marvel Comics’ X Lives of Wolverine and X Deaths of Wolverine will set the stage and test ‘the best there is at what he does before any mutant can survive to the Second Krakoan Age. The two series will release on an alternate weekly schedule, starting with X LIVES OF WOLVERINE #1 on January 5.
The two series will focus on Logan. James Howlett. Weapon X. best he mutant best known as Wolverine whohas lived many lives under many identities and in many places, but never before has the fate of the future been so entwined with the past! The series is set to explore fan-favorite eras of Wolverine’s saga anew, along with never-before-seen episodes as Logan must travel to various points in time to prevent the death of a key figure in mutant history. But these lives are only one side of the story… If Wolverine’s future lies in the past, what does that mean for the present?
No one is safe. The future is at stake. The only certainty in life is DEATH and WOLVERINE.
Benjamin Percy, who has been the character’s chief storyteller for the past few years in both the comics X-FORCE, and the solo WOLVERINE series has also scripted Marvel podcasts featuring the character, and is ready to tell the next Wolverine milestone alongside Marvel Stormbreaker Joshua Cassara and kinetic artist Federico Vicentini. With covers by legendary Wolverine artist Adam Kubert, X LIVES OF WOLVERINE and X DEATHS OF WOLVERINE will kickstart the new year with bold revelations and exciting developments not just for Logan but for all of mutantkind.
In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, Percy said about the upcoming event:
“I’m going to make a bold statement: I set out to write the greatest Wolverine story ever told. I’m not trying to belittle previous creators when I say that. The opposite. I’m trying to honor them. When we reveal the expansive scope — and legacy elements — of the project, you’ll understand what I mean. We’re creating a definitive platform that channels all the Wolverine stories that came before, while shredding our way into a wild future.”
