Marvel Juggles Wolverine Schedule

According to Diamond, Marvel has changed the order in which the next two issues of Wolverine will be released. According to the news, issue #73 of Wolverine will be released before #72, on May 13th, while issue #72, the penultimate chapter of Mark Millar and Steve McNiven’s “Old Man Logan” will be released on May 20th.

Wolverine #73 is written by Jason Aaron and Daniel Way, with art by Adam Kubert and Tommy Lee Edwards, and features two, two-part stories focusing on the modern day version of the character, something Diamond notes, may be helpful in picking up new readers who saw the X-Men Origins: Wolverine and are looking for more of the character.

As announced at New York Comic Con, “Old Man Logan” will conclude in the extra-sized, Giant Size Old Man Logan. Wolverine #74 is due in stores on May 27th, and will feature the conclusion of the Aaron and Way stories.

Currently, the title is due to change names to Dark Wolverine with issue #75, and Wolverine’s son, Daken is slated to take the lead role. That issue is due in stores on June 17th.
