Turner on Wolverine!!

[Mark Caringer]

New Rumor:

Michael Turner will be on Wolverine Origins. Ok hold on its a rumor, here is what’s up we know that Turner was supposed to do Ultimate Wolverine, but that’s been put off do to some event going on in the Ultimate Universe, I think they called it Ultimatums or something (I don’t follow Ultimate Universe, sorry). So they told Turner that they would put him on something else, but Turner demanded that since he spent so much time already preparing himself to draw Wolverine it had to be Wolverine, Marvel agreed and made a statement that it would not be the main title, but he would do something Wolverine.

Well the only other Wolverine title with no artist is Origins and I would say they do need a NAME to get people back on board Origins, so what do you guys think?

Seems plausible enough. Turner is a big name so that's bound to attract a few people.

I remember Turner did an awful rendition of Logan for a Wizard special edition (not an especially bad picture, just an awful take on Logan) so unless there's some sort of massive improvment on that I won't stat reading Origins again.

I think he draws a mean Batman though...

I may have seen that rendering of Wolverine - a pencil sketch for the Ultimate version. I wasn't thrilled with the look either, but generally he puts out excellent work. He also drew Wolverine on one of the variant covers for Wolverie: Origins #1 and Fallen Son #1.

Sad personal note: Turner is fighting cancer. He had his right hip and 40% of his pelvis amputated. (He was a martial arts instructor and water skier). At one point he could only work (or sit up) for a couple hours at a time, so I hopefully, if he's going back to work full time, he's getting better.

That's horrible. It makes me hope that organisations such as the Hero initiative can help with situations like that.

On that image front, the one i was talking about can be seen here- wizarduniverse.stores.yahoo.net/feb031660.html

Never saw that one! Wolverine looks like a Klingon from the original Star Trek!

Marvel will probly wait til March WWLA to announce the new artist
