‘Wolverine: Revenge’ Cuts A Bloody Path Through The Marvel Universe In August
by Tony Thornley
He’s the best there is at what he does, and this year, what he does is turn fifty. All year, Marvel is celebrating Wolverine, and one of the big stories to celebrate is Wolverine Revenge from two of the biggest names in comics: Jonathan Hickman & Greg Capullo.
This brutal story will see Logan facing some of his deadliest foes — including Sabretooth, Deadpool and Omega Red. He’s been beaten, broken and bloodied. Now he only has one thing 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.”
The miniseries will be presented in the Red Band format that’s proving to be popular with Blood Hunt, with two versions- one for general audiences, and a polybagged version with more pages full of more graphic and gory violence.
