They announced Wolverine: Origins III- The Dark Age. Writer Paul Jenkins & Artist Cafu are teaming up on this new project, and they are showing just how Wolverine became Wolverine. 

The book’s full description reads: 

“Enter the Dark Age! 

After years of trauma and back-to-back tours of duty fighting in the first two World Wars, Logan has found his new mission…peace!  With his berserker rage and violent tendencies somehow behind him, Logan enjoys a new life of tranquility and service. Logan will meet new friends and allies, and with the help of an impassioned young doctor, discover what makes him tick. But what is the cause of this newfound happiness…and how long can it last?” 

Writer Paul Jenkins had this to say about the new series: 

“Wolverine: Origin was foundational. It did not simply tell us how, why, and where a young, frail Canadian named James Howlett became the super hero we know as Wolverine, it also showed his loss of innocence and his understanding of a cruel and difficult world. Now, after 25 years, I’m privileged to present this story I have waited over a quarter of a century to tell. Where did Logan go? Which parts of his story were lost to history? What led to the events of Weapon X? The answers are not going to be what you expect.” 

Meanwhile, Artist Cafu added: 

“I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say this is the most important project I’ve worked on in my entire career. Origin is one of my all-time favorite Wolverine stories, and I’ve loved Paul Jenkins’ work since I was a teenager, so becoming a part of the continuation of that story and being able to tell a little more about Logan’s past is a dream come true.” 

Wolverine: Origins III- The Dark Age #1 releases December 12th.
