Marvel exclusive artist Scott Kolins had to correct the sign on the front of his table in Artist's Alley, which had been incorrectly printed with the "Collins" spelling of his name, but he didn't seem to mind as he shared news of his upcoming work on Wolverine #57 and talked to fans of the Omega Flight series he just finished with writer Michael Avon Oeming.
Kolins said the Wolverine story is "a nice little one-shot, vignette story. There's this family that goes on vacation, and I think they're in Oregon in a cabin or something like that. They wake up in the middle of the night and there's a fire in the woods," the artist said. "As they're on the run from bears and other things, and they're trying to survive, Wolverine winds up in the mix to help save them. Then you find out where the fire came from. It's a nice little one-shot where the hero walks in and saves the day for the family.
"A lot of it's told from the family's point of view," Kolins explained. "And the story starts with a tough situation, but by the end of it, being through the fire makes the family pull together and helps them through it."

Aaron is writing the oversized Wolverine #56 for Marvel that will come out in August.
"It's a stand-alone issue," the writer said, "although it does tie-in with what's going on in the story that Jeph Loeb wrote. It's just a really somber, psychological horror story where Wolverine's not necessarily the main character."
Aaron said the Ripclaw story he did for Top Cow is part of a series the publisher is doing called Pilot Season. "They took a bunch of their older characters that don't have books and they're doing one-shots for each of them. When they're done, fans will vote on which ones they want to see more of," he explained. "Ripclaw is like a Native American version of Wolverine. I got to do whatever I wanted with him, so it was a lot of fun."
