Well, if we're talking about old material there's also:

WOLVERINE BY MARK MILLAR OMNIBUS HC
Written by MARK MILLAR
Penciled by JOHN ROMITA JR., KAARE ANDREWS & STEVE MCNIVEN
Cover by JOE QUESADA
He’s the best there is at what he does. And when writer Mark Millar (THE ULTIMATES, KICK-ASS) gets his hands on Wolverine, what he does isn’t very pretty! When the Hand brainwashes Wolverine, he slices and dices his way through friends and foes alike — carving a swath of terror through the Marvel Universe that ultimately results in an X-Man’s death! Finally captured and deprogrammed, Wolverine swears vengeance against his tormentors — and the vengeance of Wolverine is a wonder to behold. Then: Nobody knows what happened the night the heroes fell, but the villains have been calling the shots ever since. Wolverine’s fate is the biggest mystery of all. No one has heard from him for fifty years, and in his place stands an old man called Logan. Collecting WOLVERINE (2003) #20-32 and #66-72, and WOLVERINE: OLD MAN LOGAN GIANT-SIZE #1.
576 PGS./Parental Advisory ...$75
ISBN: 978-0-7851-6796-9

[TSOG]

Ah, a Garden Origin Site! That makes total sense!!

...

Does anyone know what that is? Has it been revealed yet? Doesn't seem like it has...

[Phil]

Yeah, in the current Avengers 1-2.

There's a bit about it here.

It's kind of... an enemy that riffs on the garden of eden and restarting earths in their image... sort of..

[TSOG]

Ah, that makes total sense!

Well, I'm interested regardless, even if it turns out to be an alternate reality thing. I'm curious as to the team's line-up, being that they refer to them as a Canadian group, yet only two members actually were. I suppose they probably mean Canada-based.

[Le Messor]

Ah, a Garden Origin Site! That makes total sense!!

Luckily Phil's answered you, but I'm not sure what you're referring to?
Is this in the wrong thread?

(I'm confused. )

From the Avengers solicit:

AVENGERS #10
(W) Jonathan Hickman (A) Mike Deodato (CA) Dustin Weaver
50th Anniversary Variant by Daniel ACUÑA
“VALIDATOR”
• We learn that the Canadian super team Omega Flight got lost in a Garden Origin Site.

[Le Messor]

Thanks!

[Legerd]

So does anyone know who the OF characters are in the Garden Origin story? Are they from the OF mini, or are they the evil OF, or are they entirely new characters?

[Phil]

Not a clue at this point.
They could be the remnants of Alpha Strike or an alternate reality team.
This could be the reason Si Spurrier couldn't use Jeffries.
