Last week, Marvel gave us DOOM, a one-shot where writer Jonathan Hickman let artist Sanford Greene take the wheel and tell a balls-out story about the hastened death of the universe.
Hickman is following that up with Wolverine: Revenge, a five-issue miniseries where, much like DOOM, he is letting artist Greg Capullo take the wheel as Logan goes on a worldwide kill tour of some of his greatest foes.
Capullo, known for a classic run on X-Force about 30 years ago, returned to Marvel in 2023 after years at DC, most notably drawing the New 52 run of Batman.
Revenge will include physical-only Red Band editions, similar to Marvel’s current Blood Hunt event, giving readers a couple extra pages of the old ultraviolence for about a dollar more.
This will be in addition to the ongoing Wolverine series by writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Martin Coccolo.
Check out Capullo’s cover to issue #1, out Aug. 21, and keep scrolling for Marvel’s press release.
Last year, industry legend Greg Capullo made his celebrated return to Marvel Comics, and now, after a host of incredible cover work, he’s back to gracing the Marvel Universe with his iconic interior artwork! Capullo will team up with visionary writer Jonathan Hickman this August in an all-new prestige limited series: WOLVERINE: REVENGE!
Announced earlier today by Polygon, WOLVERINE: REVENGE will be five issues of pure, unadulterated Wolverine action just in the time for the iconic character’s 50th anniversary. If that’s not enough, WOLVERINE: REVENGE will also be available as special RED BAND EDITIONS. Like the current Blood Hunt event series, WOLVERINE: REVENGE – RED BAND EDITION will be polybagged for the protection of innocent eyes, and include exclusive pages and elevated violence!
Capullo and Hickman pit Wolverine against a cadre of foes who will turn his world upside down, including Sabretooth, Omega Red, Deadpool, and more. He’s been beaten! He’s been bloodied! And Logan only has one thought on his mind: REVENGE!
“I’ve finally returned home to Marvel, and I’m ready to raise some Hell. And, who better to do that with than the Hitman Hickman?” Capullo told Polygon, who also shared an exclusive preview. “To celebrate, Marvel has removed the fences and let us off our leash so that we can bring the most vicious and punishing Wolverine story possible to the fans this summer. I hope they’re prepared.”
“Well, obviously it’s such a privilege to get to work with a legend like Greg,” Hickman added. “When we first talked about the project, our number one concern was taking the readers on a high-octane, no-hold-barred Wolverine story that was a proper celebration of both the character and Greg returning to Marvel. And like he said, the bosses cut us loose and the result is an absolutely wild book. Honestly can’t wait for everyone to get to check it out.”
Check out Capullo’s cover, as well as its RED BAND version, and don’t miss this prestige miniseries, set to become one of the defining—and most brutal—tales in Wolverine’s storied legend when it hits stands in August! For more information, visit Marvel.com.
