As questions circulate on how long Hugh Jackman will continue to portray the clawed X-Men, writer and artist Richard Isanove commences a new story arc with Savage Wolverine 14. NOW.
The year is 1933 at the height of Prohibition. Dust storms rage in the Midwest – and the man who will become the Wolverine makes his living carrying whiskey across the border from Canada. That is, until he finds himself the accidental caretaker of a group of orphans who’ve been targeted by the mob.Now, the first “X-Man” must choose between the anonymous life he has chosen or stepping out into the spotlight to defend the innocent once more.
“Richard is a master of noir, and he brings that sensibility to Wolverine in his earlier, more formative years,” stated Editor Jeanine Schaefer. “He’s crafted a Logan who’s been hardened by a life of violence, but still holds out hope for peace…and in the end one side of him must come out on top. Richard’s art has never looked better -- I think readers are going to get hooked on his very specific brand of storytelling!“
Savage Wolverine 14.NOW which features variant covers by Phil Noto and Chris Samnee goes on sale January 8, 2013.
