Marvel officially announces new Wolverine prequel

Wolverine is not only one of the most popular X-Men characters, he’s also one of the most popular Marvel characters in general, so it only makes sense he gets lots and lots of recognition.

Hopefully stellar performances from Hugh Jackman and being one of the coolest duelists in Marvel Rivals has spurred many fans onto reading some of his comic series, but if not here’s a good place to start.

If you haven’t played Marvel Rivals yet by the way now’s the time to do so, it’s free and features an insane amount of character from the Marvel multiverse

Wolverine and Kitty Pryde is an upcoming comic run that’ll unite the two beloved X-Men protagonists for a limited-time.

Only five issues will be released for it, which isn’t much but it at least means you won’t be locked into too long of a read.

The comic is being brought to readers by X-Men writer Chris Claremont, with art from Damian Couceiro, who some fans may know from X-Men Unlimited.

Wolverine and Kitty Pryde’s plot is as follows: “When Kitty Pryde nearly lost her soul to Ogun during her journey to Japan, Logan was there to keep the youngest X-Man on the path to good. But as a mysterious force threatens their lives while staying with Mariko Yashida, it’s going to take all of their combined mutant, ninja, and fighting skills to protect those they love!”

Always down to see Wolverine throw down, even more so when he’s in Japan, and as a bonus we get to see the pair bond a bit along the way.

Wolverine and Kitty Pryde’s first issue will be released on 30 April, and will be sold by any participating outlet or comic book shop.

If you’re only just getting into comics it’ll make a nice starting point for more stories about Wolverine, as there have been so many over the years.
