So between That Texas Blood Venom War: Daredevil, and some EC Comic shorts over this summer, writer Chris Condon you have become quite the rising star in the comics industry. Now set to write tales of Wolverine as The Maker’s Winter Soldier in Marvel’s current Ultimate Universe, Condon is partnering with the phenomenally talented Moon Knight artist Alessandro Cappuccio in what’s going to be a complete reimagining. A story that blends the Winter Soldier and Weapon X storylines in Marvel’s fifth title in the Ultimates line.

“I couldn’t be more excited to be tackling one of the absolute greatest comic book characters of all time in a totally new and unique way with a powerhouse artist like Alessandro Cappuccio, a dynamite colorist like Bryan Valenza, and a showstopping letterer like Cory Petit,” Condon shared in a press release. “Each issue we have planned pushes the ideas that we all have about Wolverine to their limits – which is everything that an ‘ultimate’ Wolverine should be.”
