WOLVERINE: REVENGE is one of the most highly anticipated comic series that sees two industry titans artist Greg Capullo and writer Jonathan Hickman redefine what it means to be the best at what they do. A perfect story for Wolverine’s 50th anniversary, the limited five-issue series will also come in a special red band edition for extra violence, plus will feature variant covers by some of the greatest cover artists today such as Greg Capullo himself, Artgerm, David Nakayama, Mark Brooks, Pablo Villalobos, and more.

“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 in an exclusive interview. “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.”
