New powers, new enemies, new challenges—Logan’s back and he’s ready to carve out a new life for himself.

RETURN OF WOLVERINE, a five-issue limited series kicking off this week, brings the team of writer Charles Soule and artist Steve McNiven back together to resurrect the man they killed four years ago. Following in the footsteps of the four HUNT FOR WOLVERINE series and the HUNT FOR WOLVERINE: DEAD ENDS one-shot, the claws have been sharpened (and ignited) and Logan's new beginning is finally here.

In this exclusive interview, the two creators give us a brief peek into what to expect from a story years in the making.

Marvel.com: Charles, in general, how does it feel to be present at both the Omega and, now, Alpha of Logan? Is it a sense of completion, or one of new beginning?

Charles Soule: It’s both, of course. Things can end and begin in the same story. What I’m trying to do here is create a story that feels of a piece with 2014’s DEATH OF WOLVERINE, which really looked at Logan’s legacy in the Marvel Universe and how he, as a character, feels about the life he’s leaving behind. RETURN OF WOLVERINE is about that same character thinking about how he’s going to continue his journey, maybe having learned some things about himself after, you know, being dead. Resurrection should be the biggest thing that’s ever happened to Wolverine—and I think that’s how the story feels.

As far as how it feels for me and Steve…well, pretty spectacular. It feels right.

Marvel.com: What does it mean to you to have Steve back with you on this journey?

Charles Soule: Steve and I have done some wonderful work together in the past—he’s one of my closest friends in the biz, and any time I get a chance to work with him is a treat. He’s one of those artists who’s extraordinarily thoughtful about the choices he makes on the page—everything matters, everything feels real.

More than that, how fun to “get the band back together,” so to speak! It’s not just Steve and me, either. Jay Leisten’s back on board to ink, and he worked on DEATH OF WOLVERINE with us too. The incomparable Laura Martin is coloring, and she’s doing incredible work too. The book looks gorgeous.
