A female Wolverine in Marvel's comic book universe was not necessarily a concept to grab our attention. Not until yesterday when the idea sort of turned into reality.
There seems to be a trend at Marvel: back in mid-May, Thor #8 revealed the universe's new god of thunder: a female Thor, none other than Jane Foster.
Remember how Jason Aaron motivated this gender swapping move? Let me jog your memory: "Most of the new readers seem to be women and young girls, which is great ["¦] You're seeing more and more comics that appeal to that audience".
This judgment "“ which is basically marketing strategy in nature "“ could also apply to their decision to bring out a female Wolverine.
But regardless of motivation, this is it: a female Wolverine takes the stage in The All New All Different Marvel Universe in the aftermath of the Secret Wars.
Who is the female Wolverine?
Just like the new Thor is not new, but a classic character "“ namely, Jane Foster "“ bestowed with a new ability (and identity), so is the female Wolverine.
