Wolverine Celebrates Turning 50 with a Chris Claremont Miniseries

Throughout the decades, various writers have taken Wolverine for one ride after another. And if there’s one writer whose legacy looms large over the X-Men character, it’d certainly be Chris Claremont, who helped launch the character into being one of Marvel’s key characters and a larger brand unto himself.

Wolverine doesn’t turn 50 years old until next year—October/November 2024, specifically—but Marvel’s getting ahead of things with the upcoming Wolverine: Madripoor Knights miniseries. The five-part comic will see Claremont team with artist Edgar Salazar (X-23: Deadly Regenesis, X-Force) as Logan works with Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff to hunt down a “planet-threatening weapon” that’s being sold on Madripoor. Things are never boring on the lawless island, though, and before the three know it, they’re fighting to get their hands on the weapon before other forces like the Hand can.
