Marvel Comics will launch The Return of Wolverine, a new miniseries written by Charles Soule and drawn by Steve McNiven, on September 19.

This five-issue miniseries is the final piece in the long running trilogy that started with Death of Wolverine (see "Wolverine Taking a Dirt Nap in September"), and followed by Hunt for Wolverine (see "'The Hunt for Wolverine'").

“Wolverine’s body has been missing.  The entire Marvel Universe has been looking for him, because he’s a very important part of the Super Hero puzzle.  And at long last, he will be found," Soule said.  "I thought this was a real opportunity to do things that would make him feel new and fresh in a way; if you come back from the dead, it should mean something.  One of the outwardly physical manifestations of that is that now, from time to time, his claws—once they’re popped—they can heat up.  They can get really hot."

Perhaps this is what the Hunt for Wolverine: Dead Ends solicit was referring to in August (see "Back from the Dead and Headlining a New Series").
