August five brings a saga that describes the chaos in the clutches of Wolverine, in acts of pure adrenaline and revenge.
In the world of comedy, few news stories create as much resonance as a titanic union of talents. Picture the scenario: Marvel Comics, a giant that needs no introduction, and two of the most respected names in the business, Greg Capullo and Jonathan Hickman, have teamed up to shake up the comic book universe with “Wolverine: Revenge.” This August, the pages begin telling a story without limits, promising that Wolverine is more powerful and unsolved than ever.
Spanning five issues, the series isn’t just another Logan story. It’s a return to the character’s more violent roots, rarely revealing the depth of his psyche. Capullo told Polygon that this project marks his “homecoming” to Marvel, and he couldn’t be more excited to unleash hell with Hickman. Capullo envisions a story that celebrates not only Wolverine’s essence, but also his legacy of rage and struggle.
A very bold version
In addition, the series will have a ‘Red Band Edition’, which will offer more violent content, for fans who want unadulterated experiences. This issue promises to show Wolverine in extreme situations, with extreme violence that, according to Marvel, “you will not see anywhere else.”
Known for his incredible ability to capture emotional and physical intensity in his paintings, Capullo is thrilled to capture his vision of an untamed Wolverine. Teaming up with Hickman, who he describes as “Hitman Hickman,” seems like a perfect fit for this bold project.
Conflicts and revelations
The plot of “Wolverine: Revenge” revolves around a haunted and wounded Wolverine, but it’s firmly focused on one goal: revenge. You will face many enemies who promise to turn your world upside down in ways you have never seen before. From teaming up with zebras in a barbarian land to clashing with dinosaurs and more, every page is designed to keep readers on the edge of their seats.
Although the first images shown by Polygon refer to certain alliances and enemies, Bleeding Cold suggests different interpretations, highlighting the children of the sun, Hickman’s creation, as possible opponents. These disagreements add a layer of intrigue and anticipation between fans and critics.
A new chapter for Capullo
After a season drawing icons like Batman, Capullo immerses himself in the Marvel Universe, bringing with him a style that has matured and evolved over the years. This project is not only about his artistic ability, but also about his personal level: “I drew my first page today. Unfortunately, that’s all I can share until the project is officially announced.
“Wolverine: Revenge” isn’t just a rich Wolverine story; It’s an event designed to redefine what comic book history can be. With a promise of unrelenting action and a strong narrative focus, August not only marks Capullo’s return to Marvel, but elevates the series to legendary status among the sagas of the X-Men universe.
This summer, get ready for a revenge story that promises to be as brutal as its protagonist. Wolverine is back, fiercer and more focused than ever, and he won’t stop until his thirst for justice is completely quenched.
