Why did JB change Wolverines costume?
I always wondered,was it your choice to give Wolverine a new costume in X-MEN 139?And was there any meaning behind it, i.e. the “death” of Jean Grey maybe causing Wolverine to desire a fresh start and thus the new costume? JB: I wanted to change Wolverine’s duds from the first moment I set eyes on him. Yellow and blue? That’s a football team, not a wild animal! And an AMERICAN football team, no less! So as soon as I could, I gave Wolverine the brown-on-brown costume. (I still remember Jim Lee telling me proudly that he had given Wolverine his “real” costume [the yellow and blue one] back. And I remember the long pause on the other end of the phone when I mentioned I was the one who had changed the costume.
