Comic Afterthoughts The Pull List (7/31/13): Marvel shocks world with new Wolverine title
Posted By Andy Smith on Wed, Jul 31, 2013 at 1:08 PM
Are you sitting down? I hope so - because I have a Galactus-size bomb to drop on you today, fellow fanboys.
Marvel has a new Wolverine comic title today.
It may just be a one shot, but writer Chris Cosentino has hinted at more to come in interviews. Wait, Chris Cosentino? Where have we heard that name? Ask your foodie friends, and they'll tell you: It's that same Chris Cosentino who won Top Chef Masters and appeared on various reality television programs as a celebrity chef. The book is called Wolverine: In the Flesh, and it features Cosentino helping Wolverine stop the person behind some murder cases in San Francisco.
It's easy to be cynical, as we should check out the book before reserving judgment. After all, the story came about after Marvel talent scout C.B. Cebulski and Cosentino talked over Twitter, and then in person at the latter's restaurant. The chef/writer says he wrote the story in an evening. And ... well, you know, go ahead and be cynical.
Other notable debuts include a new Tom Strong series and Collider #1, a sci-fi romp that challenges the laws of physics with a futuristic backdrop. Cool stuff. Be on the lookout for annuals for Batman and Flash as well.
This week Title You Can't Miss? X-Men Legacy keeps getting better - and I have the fine folks at Heroes Aren't Hard to Find to thank for the suggestion.
