A novembre 2020 arriva Wolverine:Black, White & Blood, serie firmata da grandi nomi Marvel e che presenterà due caratteristiche davvero particolari.
La prima, come mostrano anche le anteprime rilasciate dalla Casa delle Idee, è l’aspetto puramente grafico: le tavole saranno interamente in bianco e nero, per far risaltare ulteriormente i dettagli rosso-sangue che saranno inseriti.
Inoltre, ogni numero conterrà tre storie ambientate in tre momenti diversi della vita di Wolverine, e realizzate da tre autori differenti.
Il primo numero di Wolverine: Black, White & Blood vedrà tra gli autori Gerry Duggan e Adam Kubert per la prima storia, un rimando al progetto Arma X; Matthew Rosenberg e Joshua Cassara per la seconda storia, con Nick Fury e Hydra; e lo scrittore/disegnatore Declan Shalvey per la terza storia.
Di seguito, il comunicato stampa rilasciato da Marvel:
LOGAN. PATCH. WEAPON X. WOLVERINE.
The mysterious mutant has gone by many names and lived many different lives. Now, experience all-new untold tales of The Best There Is alongside an all-star cast of creators in the unadulterated black and white format (with a healthy splash of blood-red) WOLVERINE: BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD!
Beginning in November, each issue of WOLVERINE: BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD will feature three action-packed adventures from Wolverine’s long and fascinating history. In WOLVERINE: BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD #1, return to the Weapon X program with Gerry Duggan and Adam Kubert — and encounter a new revelation from Wolverine’s shattered memories. Then, join Matthew Rosenberg and Joshua Cassara on an explosive deep-cover spy mission from Wolverine’s association with Nick Fury. After that, head into the wilds with writer/artist Declan Shalvey as Logan finds himself in the crossfire of a deadly trap!
On his collaboration with Duggan and the story to come, the Modern Marvel Master Mr. Kubert sums it all up: “I’ve had a fairly long association with Wolverine, but artistically WOLVERINE: BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD eclipses them all.”
“This is a real career highlight for me,” notes Declan Shalvey. “I’ve written Old Man Logan, I’ve drawn RETURN OF WOLVERINE, but getting to write and draw Wolverine in a moody, stripped down story is a real jewel in my crown, as it were. Not only that, but to showcase my work in black and white with the added tool of a stylized red really opens up interesting storytelling possibilities. I get to take a stab (pun intended) at one of my absolute favorite characters and depict him in a more definitive way.”
And that’s not all, True Believers… Prepare for more issues of WOLVERINE: BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD coming soon, featuring all-star creative talents like Vita Ayala, Chris Claremont, Saladin Ahmed, Donny Cates, Ed Brisson, Kelly Thompson, Greg Land, Salvador Larroca, Kev Walker, Chris Bachalo, Leonard Kirk, and more!
This is the one you’ve been waiting for, bub. Read WOLVERINE: BLACK, WHITE & BLOOD #1 at your local comic shop in November!
