"Look at his history with Dark Beast, the Inhumans, MGH, the Illuminati, the Legacy Virus… I’m building upon a very firm foundation here. I’m also telling a long story, and I knew Beast’s ending before I ever started scripting my first issue." - Benjamin Percy

Wolverine #1: Glory Daze

"People don't want you to just do karaoke. People want you to put your own unique signature on a series. You know, you look at what Scott Snyder did with Batman. The reason I think that people leaned into that is because he did something unique in making Gotham the main character. That was sort of his thesis. Tom King, his signature on Batman has been, he leaned into the everyman. He brought him down to earth and tried to make him, you know, a dude who’s struggling with some issues and, as Tom always says, “looking sadly out at rain out of windows” and going on dates with Catwoman and everything else. He sort of took all the theatrical stuff that’s the reason most people go to Batman and then he subdued it all, and just found the ordinary amidst the extraordinary. So when you’re talking about Wolverine, you find your truth. I’m trying to do the same thing." - Benjamin Percy

What is it about Wolverine that you love so much?
Well, as a squat, smelly, grumpy, hairy, cigar-chomping, whiskey-swigging loner who lives in the frozen North, it doesn't take too much effort to occupy that imaginative space.
-- Ben Percy
With X Lives/X Deaths of Wolverine coming up, I felt we should look at Percy's Wolverine book; specifically, how he characterizes Logan. Which is basically "What if Mike Hammer had adamantium claws." (Or perhaps it's more the Continental Op?) Basically, a lot of the book toys with cynical detective and film noir conventions, no moreso than the last issue, which was brilliantly illustrated by Javier Fernandez.
It's about Logan fighting a whale that's been mutated by one of Krakoa's tumors.

Wolverine #18: "Auction of Secrets"

"I've always felt that Wolverine was a close cousin to me. That as a hairy, smelly, grumpy, flannel-clad, cigar-chomping, whiskey-swilling loner who lives in the frozen north, it's never been hard to occupy his imaginative space. Despite the fact that I lean towards the shadows in my work, I'm also a dad. I will play pretty ponies with my daughter. And I will spend hours every day driving my kids to dance and theatre. And I will shed the occasional poisonous tear when they do something that makes me proud. I guess that's my way of saying that Logan and I have a spiritual connection."
-- Benjamin Percy
