Wolverine #400 sets Logan on the path to revenge

Marvel Comics is rapidly approaching the (legacy) 400th issue of Wolverine, and the feral X-Man isn’t slowing down.

Well that’s new for Logan

The book will officially be Wolverine #8, but long time fans of the Canadian mutant know better. So does Marvel Comics actually, because this particular eighth issue is being touted with its Legacy numbering, as the milestone #400.

There’s no debating that Wolverine, and we’re talking about the original Wolverine, has been an icon for the publisher. Debuting way back in 1974 in the pages of The Incredible Hulk #181, Wolverine would go on to become an X-Man in Giant Sized X-Men #1, before partly taking over the comics world with his rampant popularity in the 90s. Now that very same hero has made it all the way to the historic four hundredth issue of his titled comic, and he’s still looking to be the best there is at what he does.

Wolverine #8 (Legacy #400) will include what sounds like a one-shot tale from Daniel Warren Johnson, as a back-up story for Saladin Ahmed and Martín Cóccolo’s main tale. And while we don’t know much about either just yet, we know Johnson’s back-up will be about revenge, during Logan’s time in Japan.

And that main narrative? That’ll include the introduction of a new arch-foe for Logan, named Adamantine. You can probably use your imagination on that one.

In WOLVERINE #8 (LEGACY #400), Ahmed and Cóccolo bring Wolverine face-to-face with his mythic new archenemy Adamantine for the first time and reveal a shocking return from Logan’s past. Then, Johnson gets a chance to depict Logan doing what he does best in a brutal tale of revenge set during the character’s time living in Japan. 

“What’s better than Wolverine with claws? Wolverine with a katana,” Johnson teased of his backup story.
