In stores this week.

CBR:
"It's a big, crazy, very frenetic action story where I get to play with some super cool Grant Morrison toys. The whole thing takes place in The World, which is the super cool laboratory we saw in Morrison's 'New X-Men' run. We have all these characters kind of fighting to control The World but at the same time fighting to keep the all new Weapon XVI from escaping out into the outside world."

Newsarama:

"But I should say that I'm not Grant Morrison, would never pretend to be Grant Morrison, and could never write like Grant Morrison, so this isn't me trying to be Grant Morrison. This is me doing me, but getting to play with some Grant Morrison toys."

As announced this weekend, there's a group of one-shots coming out in September that together represent Norman Osborn's evil "To Do List." I'm writing the WOLVERINE installment, which will focus on the Weapon Plus program, specifically The World, which was the superlab introduced in Grant Morrison's NEW X-MEN run, and will also feature a couple of other crazy cool Morrison toys I've been dying to get my hands on: Fantomex and Marvel Boy. Oh, and there's also an all-new Weapon XVI, unlike any other weapon the program has ever produced. It's drawn by the great Esad Ribic and it's gonna be a hoot.

Did I mention that this'll be the first ever meeting between Marvel Boy and Fantomex? Don't know if you just got a nerd boner, but I sure did.

"My Jesus your gracious love and mercy
Tonight I'm sorry could not fill
My heart like one good rifle
And the name of who I ought to kill."

No, Brian Wood is not writing SCALPED #32. If you see that online anywhere, it's just a misprint. And maybe payback of some sort, since I was mistakenly listed as the writer on an issue of Wood's NORTHLANDERS a few months back. Maybe somebody's trying to tell us we need to just switch books.

And calls it "a must read," among other things. Blair actually gave me one of the very first rave reviews I ever got, way back when THE OTHER SIDE #1 first came out, so she's held a special place in my heart ever since. And by that I mean she now has a restraining order against me. But at least she still reads my comics.

This is the second part of my story with Adam Kubert that asks the question, Why is Wolverine in so many books each month? This was the first instance of me getting to write Spider-Man for more than one panel at a time, so that was a big thrill. And it was also a blast working with Adam. Hopefully he and I will be working on something else before too long.
