And finally, ULTIMATE WOLVERINE #13 is out in January. "It's a very Magik-driven issue," Mr. Condon says. "I love writing Magik, she's amazing. Writing her, Omega Red, and Colossus as the big bads is amazing fun." 🔴

I know there are a lot of people who don't like your way of writing ULTIMATE WOLVERINE, personally, I like this series too much, your way of writing the characters is great, you feel the danger, there's a feeling that everything could go wrong at some point!

An epic detail from ULTIMATE WOLVERINE is how Logan finally decides to accept what he did as the Winter Soldier and becomes Wolverine, carrying out the ritual of Genosha, where he is reborn as someone new after fighting his inner demons. Mr. @christophcondon.bsky.social is the best! 🔴
