Marvel Comics has revealed exclusively to CBR the cover and solicitation for Larry Hama and Roland Boschi's 2020 iWolverine miniseries, which spins out of Arno Stark's war against A.I. in the pages of Iron Man 2020.
Known for his defining work on Wolverine, Hama said of the upcoming book, "I'm super ramped to be returning to two of my favorite supporting characters from my '90s Wolverine run. Elsie Dee and Albert started out as an odd Bizarro version of Wolvy and Jube, but they quickly developed lives of their own, and their dialog was gosh-darn fun to write. Exhilarating to be able to dip into this particular font again, and I'm having a blast."
You can see the cover for 2020 iWolverine #1 below and read the solicitation for the issue. The series will run for two issues and focus on Albert, Wolverine's robot doppelganger. The character was created by Hama and Marc Silvestri in 1991's Wolverine #37. In the comics, Albert was the creation of Donald Pierce and the Reavers. However, he was later reprogrammed by Elsie Dee, an android with the body of a child.
