Enter the Dark Age! After years of trauma and back-to-back tours of duty fighting in the first two World Wars, Logan has found his new mission…peace! With his berserker rage and violent tendencies somehow behind him, Logan enjoys a new life of tranquility and service. Logan will meet new friends and allies, and with the help of an impassioned young doctor, discover what makes him tick. But what is the cause of this newfound happiness…and how long can it last?
This December, Wolverine will descend once more down a path that ends in tragedy, terror, and heartbreak in Wolverine: Origin III – The Dark Age #1.
Origin III – The Dark Age sees Paul Jenkins return to the character after his groundbreaking work on 2001’s Wolverine: Origin alongside artist Andy Kubert, which revealed the mysterious beginnings of Logan’s life for the first time ever. To celebrate 25 years since the release of this seminal work, the never-before-told darkest period of Logan’s history will finally be revealed by Jenkins and superstar artist CAFU in Wolverine: Origin III – The Dark Age, a five issue limited series launching in December. Origin III – The Dark Age is a psychologically driven and harrowing tale that will delve deep into the way Logan’s mind and memories work and explore how a twisted experience in the 1950s created the man and mutant known today as Wolverine!
Check out the main cover to Wolverine: Origin III – The Dark Age #1 by Wes Burt and a variant cover by Josemaria Casanovas.

This past weekend at San Diego Comic-Con, writer Benjamin Percy took the stage at the Marvel Comics: Next Big Thing Panel to unveil the second half of “Big Guns,” the upcoming four-part crossover between his runs on Wade Wilson: Deadpool and Punisher. Announced last month, “Big Guns,” featuring artwork by series artists Geoff Shaw and José Luis Soares, kicks off in September. Fans can get a special first look at the crossover including the main covers for all four issues, Josemaria Casanovas’ complete four-part connecting cover artwork, and interior pages from the opening chapters!
Across both acclaimed ongoing series, Percy has taken Marvel’s two trigger-happy icons back to their roots with uncompromising, no-holds-barred storytelling, aligning the fates for this dangerous and ultra-violent showdown! “Big Guns” kicks off when Deadpool’s latest mess puts him in the crosshairs of the Punisher. Just as the Merc with a Mouth takes on one of the most high-stakes jobs of his career, Frank Castle seeks to settle the score—igniting a relentless clash of bullets, bloodshed, and mayhem that neither man will walk away from unscathed!
The new covers by Geoff Shaw and David Marquez reveal more deadly players entering the fray including the most dangerous man in the Marvel Universe, Bullseye, and the mysterious supervillain pulling the strings, Black Hole. Plus, the rest of Josemaria Casanovas’ four-part connecting variant covers are revealed, giving fans a glimpse at Wade Wilson’s tricked-out new ride—the Merc Mobile—which will serve as his base of operations moving forward.

Queen in Black, the new crossover event spinning directly out of Al Ewing and Carlos Gómez’s run of Venom, begins on July 22. Spanning a five-issue series by Ewing and Iban Coello, alongside essential tie-in limited series and issues, the saga follows Marvel’s heroes as they fight to safeguard Earth from an epic cosmic collision between Knull and Hela. Today, Marvel officially unveils the covers and information for the event’s final chapters, arriving this September.
Hela has seized Knull’s throne and now commands a legion of deadly symbiotes as the QUEEN IN BLACK! Meanwhile, Knull has conquered the Lightforce Dimension, claiming terrifying new power for himself as the GOD OF LIGHT! Two of the most powerful evils in the galaxy are at war, and Earth is the final prize!
The newly revealed issues spotlight the long awaited emergence of Venomworld in Queen in Black #4-5, a startling development teased since the early days of Ewing’s mind-bending run. As Earth is consumed by symbiotes, current Venom host Mary Jane Watson is forced to make a desperate choice, one that will shape both the fate of the Marvel Universe and her future as a symbiote hero in Venom #262. Meanwhile, Eddie Brock faces his own pivotal decision that redefines his role as a symbiote host in Queen in Black: Venom Unchained #3. And both new Defenders squads unite for the climactic finale in Queen in Black: Defenders of Light and Dark #4, and Marvel’s master thief joins the battle to pull off the galaxy’s greatest heist in Black Cat #14.
