Wolverine's past is getting another major chapter as Paul Jenkins returns 25 years after the original Wolverine: Origin for Wolverine: Origin III — The Dark Age. James Tynion IV and Werther Dell'Edera bring Swamp Thing into the Slaughterverse for Swamp Thing Is Killing the Children, Krysten Ritter joins BAD IDEA's It Demands Sacrifice Record Read-A-Long, and Sean Gordon Murphy's The Last Driver #1 sells out immediately. Jace also covers Marvel's new Incursions one-shots, Jean Grey's return to Earth, BRZRKR heading to Hong Kong, Jason Aaron's Bug Wars return, Exquisite Corpses: Lone Gunman, Garth Ennis and John McCrea's The Snail, Rampant Swine, ECCC going badgeless in 2027 and much more. Plus, Jace makes this week's What Hit predictions, checks last week's picks against the newest Prana Bestseller Top 10 after going a perfect 8-for-8, and runs through the books worth preordering before Final Order Cutoff on August 24.
