Marvel Comics has announced a new retro Wolverine miniseries by longtime X-Men writer Chris Claremont and artist Edgar Salazar that will fill in a bit of missing continuity from the 1990s. Wolverine briefly disappeared from Uncanny X-Men in issue #246 and returned in #251, when the battle with the Reavers began. During this time, the X-Men were headquartered in the Australian outback, and the new four-issue miniseries depicts the secret mission that took Wolverine away from his companions. The first issue will go on sale on July 3, 2024, with a cover by Philip Tan.
“One of the amazing things about Chris Claremont’s work is how rich and multi-layered his X-Men stories have always been,” said Editor Mark Basso in a statement accompanying the announcement. “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. Deep Cut is going to finally step back and show what there just wasn’t time or space to show of Wolverine before he returned in #251, and make good on that title in all senses of the word! And, in true Marvel fashion, the story here will stand completely on its own, so if you have no idea what those plots entailed, rest assured you’ve got a complete adventure in this series.”
Claremont and Salazar also teamed up on the retro Wolverine story Wolverine: Madripoor Knights (see “‘Wolverine: Madripoor Knights’”).
