I was approached by Marvel a few years back about writing the podcast series. So this is, as corny as it sounds, a childhood dream come true. The Beat: How did you come to write Wolverine?īenjamin Percy: He’s my favourite character. I wanted to pick his brain, so we sat together during this year’s C2E2 and we had a chat. He’s an attentive and articulate guy with a warm heart. Meeting him, however, will wash all those fears away. With his deep voice and gruff vernacular, he looks and sounds like he was ripped straight out off… well, a Benjamin Percy comic. If you watch Percy speak at a panel like I did during the convention, he can come across as a little intimidating. His work doesn’t just stop at Marvel he’s also working with new publisher AWA on a zombie book. I guess I just had to have faith, because his run on X-Force is getting better and better with each issue, and his new Wolverine series is a hit from the get-go. I just had no idea if he would be up to snuff. So when he was announced as an instrumental figure within the updated X-Men line of books, my eyebrow was raised. I simply wasn’t reading what he was putting out. I was introduced to his work through his run on the Rebirthed Green Arrow run, but the man as a creator was always on my periphery. Benjamin Percy has had a fascinating career trajectory, at least in my eyes.
