As anyone reading this probably already knows I’m a total dork. This idea really does point that out better than most things. This ones more for the uber-geeks out there, if you’re not into comics it will probably be partially incoherent.
It’s an idea for a Wolverine comic that I’ve had in my head for a while. It’s not something I could really execute since it kinda’ needs star Wolverine who is a property of Marvel Comics but it would satisfy me just to get the idea out there.
The basic concept is that Wolverine is sent on a mission by a collection of Marvel’s magical experts, Dr. Strange, Dr. Doom maybe even Brother Voodoo. They send him to China to a sacred monastery hidden in an Oasis in the heart of the Gobi desert. He is told to assassinate the Monk who runs the monastery.
Once in china he meets up his enemy from Japan the Silver Samaria who tells him that the mystics sent him to aid Wolverine on his mission. Probably we’ll meet the Silver Samaria when he saves Wolverine form some Hand assassins or something. Wolverine reluctantly travels with him across china.
I haven’t really come up with any details here in the middle there probably needs to be a couple more events.
In a forest on there way to the Gobi Logan and The Samaria find a small village of elf like people. These peoples entire life span is only one year each. Allowing them to breed and adapt faster than humans and giving them a totally different outlook on life and death.
When we meet this village they are being threatened by a terrible creature that devours life force. It eats away peoples life a year at a time. The Silver Samaria ends up giving his life to satiate the creature, knowing that one of him will save forty of the villagers. In thanks for saving there village the elf like people send there warrior princess, who lives for much longer than the others, to travel with Logan.
Once they get to the edge of the desert they are led to the monastery by some sort of wacky guide I haven’t thought of yet.
As they get closer to the Oasis they start to notice strange things. The Hand Ninja’s that attack them don’t dissolve like they usually do, Logan’s wounds aren’t healing quite as quick and the blossoms that usually close at night remain open.
Once at the monastery Logan finally learns the reason he’s been sent to kill this monk. The monk has been engaging in rituals to stop the cycle of life and death. Nothing will die and nothing will be born, people will stop aging, cells will stop splitting. His rituals have already begun and there effects can be seen emanating from the location of the monastery.
After a brief fight with the Monk, and a bunch of expository dialogue where we learn what his plans are, the monk uses his magic to fatally wound the elf princess. She lies broken nearly dead but unable to die due to the monk's magics. Wolverine is thrown into a blind fury slashing away at the monk with abandon. When he comes back to his senses he’s surprised to find that the monk stays dead and the elf is allowed to die as well.
As wolverine is about to head out, carrying the body of his friend back to her people, Dr. Strange shows up. He explains to Wolverine that it had to be him who went of this mission because he is himself a dichotomy of life and death. A man who can never die but is responsible for taking and saving the lives of so many others.
Not much anyone can help me with on this one. Unless someone wants to draw it with me and send it Marvel as a submission. I suppose if someone really liked it we could just change the characters and make it our own.
