Wolverine gets third monthly.

Wolverine: First Class

http://forum.newsarama.com/showthread.php?t=139483

A few more and he'll be up there with Batman and Spider-man!

What a load of crap.

How sad.

"Also, we've got Sabretooth, we've got the High Evolutionary and his New Men, we've got Alpha Flight, we've got Siryn, we've got the Soviet Super-Soldiers, we've got Dazzler, and actually a lot of brand-new characters too, I'm psyched. The Claremont/Byrne era of X-Men is one helluva sandbox to play in. "

Classic Alpha Flight? I'm in 🙂

Taking another look at the interview has intrigued me.

This might be better than the other two series.

I think I will get the first issue.

Ha! I even said that in another board, but one of the Marvel handbook writers assured me that wouldn't happen

"Fred's a fan of and very respectful of the characters he is working with. I don't believe that Alpha Flight will be treated badly, and am looking forward to seeing the old team again."

Alpha Flight should solo him if they do fight.

Ah good to see the classics. 😎

Shouldn't be to hard for Wolverine: First Class to outshine Origins and Wolverine... although there are some potentially great runs coming up on Wolverine with Brubaker and Jason Aaron both having upcoming arcs.

I'm looking forward to this book, it has a lot of promise.

Its true. Origins is terrible and Wolverine is just plain bad.

With Kitty on this book it has promise.

Especially how we get to see their relationship grow.

I think it could be really interesting, having all their stories set between UXM #138-150 [first 8 issues]

Pssh he says that now but just wait the Wolverine fans will get to him soon and eventually he'll be beating all of AF 😛

That wouldn't suprize me in the least, but around this time Wolverine and Alpha Flight are friends again so we shall see how this works

I can't imagine characters like this being good for a Wolverine story... if Wolverine beats HE...

X-Men First Class has pretty consistently been fun, entertaining, and liberated from the general muck that most recent comics get ruined with. If Wolverine: First Class is anything like that, it should be a great time.

Plus: Dazzler. What more could anyone ask for?

X-Men First Class has been a dissapointment IMO, but this has Kitty Pryde in it so we'll see how it goes.
Its got 8 issues so far...and sales will determine whether or not it becomes an ongoing. I actually wouldn't mind them replacing X-Men First Class with this.

Pfft...they said if Omega Flight sold well it would warrant an on-going. Well it did and far better then they expected. Now what have we heard from Marvel about an Omega on-going?.....Nothing.

X-Men First Class mini didn't sell well, but it still got promoted to be made an on-going.

It all comes down to if Marvel likes certain characters or not.

My retcon sense is tingling
