HEY! Hit the comic shops from this day forth* for my story in Wolverine #900 –
I know what you’re thinking: “James, I didn’t see your name on the solicit for this amazing, deluxe tribute to one of Marvel’s main characters!”
I know. I was attached at THE LAST minute.
As in, 3 weeks ago.
(Which, if you have no frame of reference, is an insanely low amount of turn around time.)
BUT – the offer was to write a script in 2 days – using existing art work. ** Crazy? Yes. An awesomely fun challenge? That too. What really sold me, though, is that my story sports badass art by super star David Finch!
And, though I was left out of the creator names in the solicits, my pages make up the entirety of the issue preview. (Though the preview is not the entirety of my pages.)
So it’s strange, an honor (that they trusted me to pull it off), and thrilling (to be in the company of Finch). But ultimately, I’m just curious to see how it turned out. So feel free to be even more honest than usual about what you liked and didn’t like.

*It comes out today, but really – you’ll be able to get for years to come.
**I actually wrote two scripts since I knew there wouldn’t be much editorial time. This is the one they chose, and I see that they also changed some parts of the script on the fly.
