To celebrate 25 years since the release of this seminal work, the never-before-told darkest period of Logan’s history will finally be revealed by Jenkins and superstar artist CAFU in WOLVERINE: ORIGIN III – THE DARK AGE, a five issue limited series launching in December. ORIGIN III – THE DARK AGE as Wolverine will descend once more down a path that ends in tragedy, terror, and heartbreak.
Paul Jenkins returns to the character after his groundbreaking work on 2001’s Wolverine: Origin alongside artist Andy Kubert, which revealed the mysterious beginnings of Logan’s life for the first time ever.
Jenkins explained:
“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.”
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.”
