ComicBook has the exclusive first look at Wolverine #1 by Saladin Ahmed and Martin Coccolo. It begins with Logan living his best life, running shirtless through the Canadian snow with wolves. Of course, Wolverine and the wolves could be on the hunt for prey. The second preview page does show someone on the hunt, and it’s the Wolverine adversary Cyber. He’s got an oversized rifle in his arms, and most likely intends to use it on Wolverine. Cyber has a long history with Logan, and has arms covered in Adamantium skin.

The final two pages feature Nightcrawler, one of Wolverine’s best friends on the X-Men. Nightcrawler comes across a group of murdered people in the woods, and then has to defend himself against a sneak attack by Logan. But Wolverine has Nightcrawler’s scent, so it’s only a matter of time before he tracks Kurt Wagner down.

Wolverine writer previews new X-Men: From the Ashes series

“We will be joining Logan in the aftermath of some globally dramatic events that have affected both mutantkind and humankind, and my man is, in a word, exhausted” Salad Ahmed said in the X-Men: From the Ashes sampler. “He’s turned his back on the whole notion of organized society. But, of course, the world isn’t done with him.”

Ahmed then spoke about the inclusion of Nightcrawler in the series. “I don’t wanna spoil too much, but I love Kurt as a character and find him to be the perfect foil/complement to Wolverine,” he said. “Hopefully rather than cynical, swashbuckling rather than grisly, feelings on his sleeve instead of stoic – I love writing the two of them together, not only for the action and banter, but for the deeper conversation between the personalities.”

The exclusive first look at Wolverine #1 is below. The issue goes on sale in September.
