Logan runs wild with rage in Wolverine #1 variant covers

Posted on by

Wolverine has remained adamantium-tough through mutantkind’s darkest times, but the fall of Krakoa breaks him! Just in time for the character’s 50th anniversary, Logan retreats to where the Wolverine legend began—the Canadian wilderness—in Saladin Ahmed and Martín Cóccolo’s new Wolverine ongoing series. Launching in September, the series will be a part of the X-Men’s new From the Ashes era. Today, fans can check out a berserker’s rage worth of variant covers for the debut issue!

There’s a killer in the woods – and as Wolverine’s attempt at peace is shattered, old enemies re-emerge as an ancient force awakens! Predating the Marvel Universe as we know it, this primal being takes a special interest in Logan, but does it see him as a hero worthy of his legendary reputation or an affront to creation that needs to be eliminated?

With Nightcrawler by his side to bring his old friend home, Logan will have to unleash his claws, push his healing factor to the limit and demonstrate he’s the best there is at what he does once and for all – nice be damned!

The new covers include an eye-catching Foil Cover by Patrick Gleason, an homage piece of Frank Miller’s iconic Wolverine #1 cover by John Romita Jr., a Negative Space Variant Cover by John Tyler Christopher, a team-up image between Wolverine and Nightcrawler by Felipe Massafera, a showdown between Wolverine and Cyber by Clayton Crain, and more. Check them out now and preorder Wolverine #1 at your local comic shop today!
