More surprising news coming out of FanExpo ’11 in Toronto, Canada as it appears that Brian Wood is returning to Marvel Comics. During the X-Men panel, Marvel unveiled the below teaser image that would hint that whatever Brian Wood is writing in 2012, probably involves Wolverine.
We literally have no other info about this other than the below image. We’ll post with updates when/if they come.
We spoke to Brian Wood recently about his wind down from working at Vertigo/DC Comics where hinted he had future projects in the planning. You can read the interview via the links below:

I’m going to take a wild snikt in the dark and guess it’s about Wolverine.
Or Black Panther? or Daken? Or SABERTOOTH!
I just saw him post this on Twitter and immediately had a nerdgasm.
It’s most likely about Wolverine, but how sweet would it be if it was about Sabretooth?
Yyyyyyeeeeeeeesssssss!
Wolverine MAX
you know – I think you might be onto something there…
Now that the thought of a Wolverine MAx by Wood is in my head, anything less would be uncivilized.
what does the MAX title mean? is that a particular type of story or universe?
@wally: MAX is Marvel’s adult/explicit content line/universe. Basically, we could get to see Logan cuss like a sailor, fuck a lotta sluts, and feed guys their own peckers. Fun stuff like that.
aaah so basically its “all ages” stuff. =p
i was only aware of the Punisher one. there are others?
Alias, Apache Skies, Haunt of Horror, Howard the Duck, Fury, Devil-Slayer, Rawhide Kid, and The Punisher.
But I think most people would agree that Punisher and Alias were the most memorable.
I need to change my pants now…
I think it’s safe to say I’ll be picking up issue #1 of whatever this is.
i just came back from the fan expo and when i was at this x-men panel and this was announced it was a very silent room lol barely anyone knew who he was
I have read his dv8 mini as a huge marvel fan seems like a good get by the house of ideas
Wolverine fighting Mr. Sinister???
On one hand: Another Wolverine and/or Wolverine-related comic? *SIGH*
But then again it has Brian Wood so it might be better then 99% of Wolverine comics out there. Still, I’ll hold full judgments until it’s announced.
Not to mention, if this is a MAX book, it could be awesome. Wolverine would be GREAT in a MAX setting.
Basically we have a Wolverine MAX book with that Charlie Huston/Juan Jose Ryp book….last time I checked (other then the art) it’s a pretty shitty comic. So maybe an ultra violent Wolverine MAX book would be redundant.
wolverine: the best there is is ending with #12
Sharpen up Nightcrawler’s fingernails and give him a book!
I’m down for whatever Mr. Wood is writing.
Yes !! Finally, a comic book based on the XXX movie franchise. Hopefully we’ll get Ice cube he was so much better then Vin Diesel ! Seriously though a Wolverine max series by Wood might actually give Garth’s Punisher a run for it’s money.
I actually don’t think I’ve ever read a Brian Wood book. And if he’s doing Wolverine, that will most likely continue. Although DMZ sounds like a great book that i am pretty sure i would enjoy. I need to start getting the trades of that.
Wow, another Wolverine title. Same ol’ Marvel. Snooze….
Not necessarily. If it’s MAX, Wolverine would fit it like a condom. He’ll still be the best there is at what he does. He’ll just be doing a lot more of it.
But if he fits like a condom, will he be doing it without it feeling nearly as good?
Also, Marvel is hardly the only company that has multiple comics for one character. how many comics in the “New 52” is Batman appearing in? 6?
As a big fan of Demo, DMZ, and Northlanders, I am very excited. Even if it is another Wolverine book, I think Wood’s indie stylings will give it a fresh spin.
I like the suggestions of a Wolverine MAX book by Wood. I could see it as Northlanders meets Local. Logan travels around, getting drunk and starting bar fights all across North America. Wood’s a great writer, so I’m sure there’d be more to it than that, but I think that kind of set-up would be awesome. You could even get Ryan Kelly to draw it, the protagonist from his first (only?) arc on Northlanders was pretty badass.
