The Hero Initiative: Wolverine 100

The answer is "Snikt!"

 

The question: What is Hero Initiative's next "Marvel 100" project?

In the last two years, The Hero Initiative, the charity dedicated to helping older comic creators in medical or financial need, has enlisted the aid of 100 top-flight artists to create The Ultimate Spider-Man #100 Project and The Hulk 100 Project—collections of 100 original covers featuring great Marvel characters. This year, Hero reprises the program with Marvel's most popular mutant.
 

BRANDON PETERSON VARIANT COVER
Marvel Comics has generously donated 100 blank-covered cardstock copies of the new WOLVERIN: WEAPON X #1 to Hero. The call has gone out to create The Wolverine 100 Project, and dozens of artists are putting pen to paper. Artists involved include well-known stars such as Neal Adams, J. Scott Campbell, Frank Cho, Gene Colan, Ron Garney, Dale Keown, Adam Kubert, Leinil Yu, and John Romita Sr. and Jr.

"Fasten your seat belts. From what I've seen, this is the craziest 100 project to date," said Hero Initiative Board member Brian Pulido. "The artists are very good at what they do and what they do is very awesome! They are pulling out all stops to deliver the goods on Marvel's marauding mutant. You won't be disappointed."

"Marvel fully supports the Hero Initiative and its mission, and is proud to offer one of our premier characters in Wolverine to help their efforts," said Marvel Publisher Dan Buckley. "The amazing outpouring of support and creativity we see from the artists in this is a wonder to behold as well."

All 100 original Wolverine covers will be published in a book slated for release in November 2009, and a public viewing of all covers will be scheduled as well.

These guys are doing great work. But with that said...Not knowing all the in's and out's and not wanting to go all political, but wouldn't the health care proposals of the Obama administration address some of these issues?I am European. We do it very differently!
