At the Women of Marvel panel today at the San Diego Comic Con, writer Erica Schultz was on hand to announce a new title featuring the former X-23, Laura Kinney: Wolverine.
The ongoing series will feature solo stories starring the former member of the X-Men and current cast member of NYX. Schultz is working with artist Giada Belviso, whose work appeared in the recent Blood Hunters miniseries.
“We want to show you all different sides of Laura. There will be laughing and crying,” Schultz said. “Laura has dealt with a lot, and when she’s met her other clones, she’s asked herself ‘Is that the person I’m supposed to be? Am I fated to be that person? Should I take my own path, or end up like Logan?’ She decides to forge her own path. This will be her solo adventure.”
Here’s how Marvel describes the series:
Missions so dire Wolverine must go it alone! Wolverine takes the fight to those who stand as enemies of mutantkind! Laura Kinney was bred to be the ultimate assassin as X-23. She’s long left that life behind, but as she encounters mutants being forced to use their powers against their will, Wolverine takes it upon herself to right these wrongs—no matter who stands in her way! Join Wolverine as she embarks on missions abroad, ready the fight to mutant oppressors wherever they may hide!
The announcement follows one from earlier this weekend about an ongoing for another X-character, Psylocke. The first issue will arrive in stores Dec. 11.
