Update: Oops. Apparently not free. It costs money. $2.99, to be exact.
The following has been edited as such to reflect that.
It was announced some time ago, and yes, Aaron didn’t really leave Wolverine. But, just go with it.
Launching today, a brand new 13-part weekly Infinite comic launches from Marvel entitled “Wolverine: Japan’s Most Wanted.” Clearly timed to launch in anticipation of the new film, the book brings Jason Aaron back to a solo “Wolverine” book alongside his collaborator for “Southern Bastards” Jason Latour as the two pen a tale illustrated by Paco Diaz finding Wolverine in Japan with wolves at all of the doors.
And it looks fantastic:
Look, I don’t mean to tell you how to do your business or anything, but with a book that has this kind of all-star creative team… well, the question becomes: why are you still reading this and not downloading it on your iPad? Honestly. I don’t even know why I’m still writing.
So I’ll stop. For the full press release from Marvel, please see below.
