Last week a teaser appeared that could only mean one thing, Wolverine. Even though the old boy already has another Marvel NOW! comic in the works, he’s getting a second one (via iFanboy).

“This is the action series title where we meet him in his New York context,” said writer Paul Cornell. “With many non-super hero friends (like Claremont always had the X-Men know), part of a community of professionals, a very civilized man of violence who’d prefer to be a man of peace.”

Cornell won’t be sitting around on the title either, he’s kicking things off with a bang.

“James is caught up in a hostage situation, which involves a threat to innocents from a very disciplined, ruthless new character, the nature of which we’re only gradually going to reveal. That turns into an action movie chase, where James is highly motivated to stop having to repeat something not very nice he had to do in front of one of said innocents. James is at his best when he’s protecting others. I’ve been a father for four weeks, and I asked myself, which super hero would I hand my baby to? And the answer is James Logan, because he will die before he see that child hurt, and anyone who wants to do so has to get through the Wolverine. This title is about that balance between protector and berserker, between long-lived oddity and regular guy.”

The new Wolverine series starts in March with Cornell writing and Alan Davis on pencils. Will you be reading the new series?
