Wolverine Mix-Up

Yesterday I mistakenly said Wolverine #73 would be the last chapter of the Old Man Logan arc. Wolverine #73 is the first chapter of a new story by Jason Aaron. So what happened to Old Man Logan. Well that's issue #72, which will be released after #73. Weird huh?

Marvel has said this unusual shipping schedule is directly related to the theatrical release of the Wolverine movie. Whereas Old Man Logan was more of a "What If?" tale of a Wolverine never seen before, #73 follows the recognized Wolverine and takes place within continuity. This is supposed to provide the perfect jumping on point for new readers the Wolverine film could help produce.

So just to clarify, Old Man Logan finishes in issue #72, which will be released May 27, 2009. Issue #73 came out today, May 13, 2009. It seems to be a tale about how Wolverine can be in so many places and on so many teams at the same time. So if you've ever wondered about that, this issue should delight.
