Marvel Comics has released the covers for Greg Capullo and Jonathan Hickman's WOLVERINE: REVENGE #1, a five-issue prestige limited series.
The press release follows:
Media Release -- Next month, industry superstars Greg Capullo and Jonathan Hickman team up for an all-new prestige limited series: WOLVERINE: REVENGE! Just in time for the character's 50th anniversary, WOLVERINE: REVENGE will be five issues of pure, unadulterated Wolverine action that's sure to go down as one of Logan's defining tales! 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! Today, fans can check out the assortment of covers for the debut issue including pieces by Artgerm, Mark Brooks, Pablo Villalobos, and more.
The series marks Capullo's first time doing interior artwork since his return to Marvel last year. Together with Hickman, Capullo will 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 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."
