“With this year’s special December 24th

off the shelves,” said Marvel’s SVP of Publishing Sales, David Gabriel.

of the only two Marvel Comics on sale that week, we’re positive that no
reader can miss—or resist – Origin II #1!”

In anticipation of this cover’s immense popularity,
Marvel will have plenty of copies available for retailer orders to
appease customer's demands! Select retailers will receive a cover
preview sheet before this item’s FOC date, and attendees
at Marvel’s New York City Comic-Con Retailer Breakfast presentation
will receive a free cover preview sheet as well.
“The first acetate cover I ever saw was on Marvels and it blew my mind. We’re looking to do the same thing with this cover to
Origin II,” said X-Men Senior Editor Nick Lowe. “Adam Kubert is a
living comic book legend and this cover demonstrates that out of the
gate. Top it off with Frank Martin’s delicious colors? The rendering,
the concept and the surprise that readers will
get when they lift the top layer of the cover drives home what a
can’t-miss event
Origin II is.”
Set a few years after the events of Origin, Origin II
finds James Howlett running with the wolves…until something
unexpected brings him back into the world of men! Follow the first
“X-Man” as he finds his way back to civilization and falls afoul of
someone Sinister, who’s just discovering mutantkind and the
horrors he can visit on them. Written by comic superstar Kieron Gillen
and drawn by industry legend Adam Kubert,
Origin II #1 continues the proud tradition of revealing Wolverine’s shocking history in the highest quality possible!
