Wolverine Returns To The Wild Celebrating 50 Years

Celebrating 50 years, Wolverine faces new challenges in the Canadian wilderness.

Marvel Comics is gearing up for a thrilling new chapter in Wolverine’s saga with the upcoming release of Wolverine #1. Written by Saladin Ahmed and illustrated by Martín Cóccolo, this new series launches in September, just in time to celebrate the iconic character’s 50th anniversary. The series, announced yesterday, will be part of the X-Men’s “From the Ashes” era. For fans eagerly awaiting the release, a variety of stunning variant covers for the debut issue have just been unveiled. Each cover brings a unique artistic flair, capturing the essence of Wolverine’s raw power and the gripping narrative that lies ahead.

The variant covers add extra excitement to the series launch.

Highlights include a striking Foil Cover by Patrick Gleason, which gleams with a metallic finish. John Romita Jr. pays homage to Frank Miller’s iconic Wolverine #1 cover. His tribute piece captures the spirit of the original. John Tyler Christopher’s Negative Space Variant Cover offers a minimalist yet powerful visual impact. Felipe Massafera presents a dynamic team-up image featuring Wolverine and Nightcrawler. Clayton Crain’s cover depicts a tense showdown between Wolverine and Cyber.

The storyline takes a deep dive into Wolverine’s psyche as he retreats to the Canadian wilderness. It is a place synonymous with the origin of his legend. The fall of Krakoa, a pivotal event in mutant-kind’s history, has left Logan shattered. Seeking solace in the wilderness, he soon finds his attempt at peace disrupted by old enemies and an ancient force awakening. This primal being, which predates the Marvel Universe, has a vested interest in Logan. The creature’s perspective on Wolverine is ambiguous—does it view him as a legendary hero or as a threat that must be eradicated? This enigmatic dynamic sets the stage for a series filled with intense action and profound character exploration.

Joining him in this rugged adventure is Nightcrawler.

Nightcrawler is determined to bring his old friend back from the brink. Together, they face relentless adversaries and brutal challenges, pushing Logan’s healing factor and ferocity to their limits. In the face of overwhelming odds, Wolverine must prove once again that he is the best at what he does—no matter the cost. With its compelling storyline and breathtaking artwork, this new series is poised to be a must-read for Wolverine enthusiasts and X-Men fans. Catch the live-action return of Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool movie.
