Chris Claremont and Edgar Salazar team-up once again to weave another tale from the past in the Wolverine: Deep Cut mini-series.
The flash-back, in-continuity series transports Wolverine to the Australian Outback, which takes place before the Reavers’ attack in 1989’s Uncanny X-Men #251, featuring another early tussle with his arch-nemesis Sabretooth.
Editor Mark Basso is excited for fans to get a look at the retro series and said “One of the amazing things about Chris Claremont’s work is how rich and multi-layered his X-Men stories have always been. In Uncanny X-Men #246, he had to move Wolverine off-stage to get to the plethora of other characters and plotlines he had going.”
Claremont and Salazar last worked together on the Wolverine: Madripoor Knights mini-series, which harkened back to an earlier mission involving Wolvie, Captain America, and the Black Widow (issue #3 will be in stores on April 24).
