Next January, X Lives of Wolverine and X Deaths of Wolverine, a pair of interlocking series, will reportedly usher in what Marvel Comics calls "The Second Krakoan Age of X-Men."
Writer Benjamin Percy and artists Joshua Cassara, Federico Vicentini, and Adam Kubert will journey across Wolverine’s history and future to deliver a "transformative epic" packed with revelations and exciting developments, not just for Logan but for all of mutantkind.
In X Lives of Wolverine #3 and #4, Logan's time-shredding adventure sheds new light on eras of his life you thought you knew, and ones you never knew existed. We'll be taken on a ride from the early 1900s to missions with Department H and beyond, and a peek into the past that will define the future...but only if the clawed mutant can stop Omega Red.
In the present, we catch up with the "Wolverine family" as Wolverine (Laura Kinney), Daken, and Scout enter the fray as the dark side of Wolverine’s time-travelling mission comes into focus. That chase leads to the mutant nation of Krakoa, as the force of mutantkind’s ultimate destruction breaches its borders. The question is, is this the last stand of Xavier’s dream?
"I'm going to make a bold statement: I set out to write the greatest Wolverine story ever told," Percy tells EW. "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."
