THE HUNT FOR WOLVERINE Expands Into Four Epic Tales!
Is it really Logan? The mystery surrounding his return continues….New York, NY — February 13, 2018 — Wolverine has been trekking across the Marvel Universe, from the pages of 2017’s best-selling comic MARVEL LEGACY #1 to the current glimpses of Logan in the ‘Where’s Wolverine’ pages featured in select Marvel comics…but is that really the Logan we all know and love?
This May, the story that kicked off in April’s THE HUNT FOR WOLVERINE #1 continues as intrigue, mystery, romance, and action collide in an epic so big, it will take four different series to tell the tale! Featuring thrills and chills for all X-Men fans as Wolverine’s past comes back to haunt all our merry mutants, each unique story harkens back to their old school adventures – changing some characters in ways that will shock readers.

Silva, “Black Panther and the Crew” artist Butch Guice, and “Spider-Man/Deadpool” artist Chris Bachalo will join forces for four series that form one interlocking epic adventure, each one containing its own distinct genre and mystery: “Weapon Lost” (noir/detective), “Adamantium Agenda” (action/adventure), “Claws Of A Killer” (horror) and “Mystery in Madripoor” (dark romance.)
“I’ve been holding my tongue, just waiting to announce this project and team of ultra-talented creators,” said series editor Mark Paniccia. “While these stories all reveal clues to the larger mystery behind Wolverine’s return, the writers all have some pretty huge moments planned that will have X-MEN fans talking and debating for some time to come.”
