This is the first X-Men event to be told after Jonathan Hickman’s departure from the line with Inferno #4, and the first in the new Destiny of X line. Why is X Lives of Wolverine/X Deaths of Wolverine happening now? In X Deaths of Wolverine #1, Moira X flees Mystique while a new, mysterious, seemingly cybernetic Wolverine arrives on the island.Īlso as with HoXPoX, the full scope of XLXD’s plot likely won’t be apparent until the two series have run several issues, but at this point, we can at least say that both will follow these two high-octane hunts across space and time. In X Lives of Wolverine #1, Wolverine’s consciousness is projected into the past to protect Charles Xavier from a time-traveling Omega Red.
This time, however, our focal point is Wolverine rather than Moira MacTaggert, so the story is not one of science and experiments, but of bone-slicing violence. Like HoXPoX, XLXD is a story about the distant past and the far-flung future, told through the experiences of a mutant who has lived many lives. What is X Lives of Wolverine/X Deaths of Wolverine about? Tom Muller, credited for “Design” on all X-Men titles, is aboard, as well as letterer Cory Petit and colorists Frank Martin and Dijjo Lima. Joining him are artist Joshua Cassara, the regular artist for X-Force, on Lives - and artist Federico Vincentini, fresh off of drawing the last volume of Amazing Spider-Man, on Deaths. Also an essayist and novelist (most recently of The Unfamiliar Garden), Percy has brought a prose sensibility to the Dawn of X and Reign of X lines of comics.
