Paul Cornell has virtually done it all in the last couple of years.
And were STILL leaving stuff out!
Den of Geek (DoG):How did you land this gig writing Wolverine?
Did Marvel approach you or did you pitch for it?
Any difference in your approach to a more mainstream character like Wolverine, as opposed to something likeDemon Knights?
So this is bigger, more bombastic, but its still all about character.
DoG:Its been a while since you worked for Marvel, how has the experience been?
PC:Its been great coming back.
And she really cares about the details.
Im having a wonderful time.
DoG:What appeals to you about Logan?
Without his memories, he acted like a bit of a teenager.
Now he knows who he is, and hes grown into this mature, responsible, tough guy.
I keep getting the older Clint Eastwood in my head when I write his dialogue.
I think Hugh Jackman sometimes channels that vibe too.
Does it affect your plotting?
PC:Im always aware of whats going on.
We share editorial, and I get to see the titles as soon as theyre out.
Im trying to make this title where readers come for their Wolverine news.
There are big changes coming for him, in this title.
DoG:Are any of your concepts or characters from your run onCaptain Britaingoing to appear in Wolverine?
I dont look back.
DoG:Alan Davis.
How unbelievably cool is that?
PC:Its very cool.
DoG:Describe some of the themes you wish to explore in the first arc.
PC:Its a mystery about exactly what Wolverine is facing.
Its something he cant hit.
Itll turn out to be the lever that opens him up.
But thatll happen a little later.
DoG:Without spoiling, what can we expect from your run on Wolverine?
PC:Nick Fury.
A surprise guest star from the other end of Marvel at the end of #2.
DoG:Got anything cool youd like to tell us about?
Im very proud of it.
