Absolutely!
At any rate I know I'll try a few issues of it, Wolverine is my second favorite Marvel hero after all...

So how many series are there now?
Wolvie Wolvie: Origin Wolvie : the first years
plus countless appearances in other titles.
I swear Wolvie used to be a cool character back when he wasn't overexposured and actually vounerable. Only thing worse was the freaking Bat-God!

To be fair, Fred Van Lente is a good writer... one of the few decent ones at Marvel. His Scorpion story in Amazing Fantasy was actually quite good; I want to see him do more with that character. And I admit, he does know his Wolvie... he showed a pretty good understanding of Madripoor in the Scorpion arc as well. The problem is that Marvel keeps putting him on these minor projects when he'd be served far better on something major.
That said... I dunno that I'm all that interested in this. As previously noted, it's another Wolverine series. And I'm not sure I really want to follow the adventures set back in the "good old days". For one, he's competing directly with old-school Claremont, and that's never a winning proposition. I'm sure Van Lente will do something decent with it, but I'm not sure I'll be picking this up.

I must admit, my favourite part of the interview was this:
The closer that figure is to zero, the more I would believe it... ;D

Let's face it, Marvel cares about continuity in the same way that they portray Iron Man as a hero... ;D
The problem ultimately is how selective Marvel chooses to be about continuity. They'll slavishly reference whatever they want (anything written by Quesada's pet writers, their recent "big events", etc.) but they'll forget or flatly contradict anything that isn't convenient. That isn't continuity, that's wearing a huge blinder while going through the motions for appearances' sake...
