Marvel Comics has released a trailer for January’s X Lives of Wolverine and X Deaths of Wolverine. More info on both of those series here. Both series spin out of Inferno, Jonathan Hickman’s final series on X-Men before exiting as Head of X. Both series will be written by Benjamin Percy with artists Joshua Cassara and Federico Vicentini with covers by Adam Kubert.
“This is a story that channels Wolverine’s legacy from start to finish. But with that said, it’s very much its own thing. I don’t do karaoke,” Percy told Nerdist in an exclusive interview. “In other words, I am tipping my hat to ‘Days of Future Past,’ yes, but the X LIVES OF WOLVERINE/X DEATHS OF WOLVERINE is its own signature narrative. I’ve got a thing for time travel stories (and stories that play with time). The Time Machine. The Terminator franchise. Back to the Future. Looper. Cloud Atlas. Endgame. I’ve always wanted to take on the genre—and we went all out. The clocks and the compasses are spinning wildly. Be ready for a blood-soaked, mayhem-packed, kaleidoscopic journey through time and space.”
