Marvel celebrates 400 issues of ‘Wolverine’ in April

Saladin Ahmed, Martín Cóccolo and Daniel Warren Johnson celebrate the milestone in an oversized issue.

If you were to go back and count up how many issues of Wolverine Marvel has published, you’d … likely have a hard time deciding what counted as a “Wolverine” comic, given how many one-shots and miniseries he appeared in. Marvel seems to just be counting issues of ongoing series here, and since #300 landed in 2012, it seems to make sense that we’ve now reached issue #400 — or we will with Wolverine #8 in April.

The “massive” issue will include two stories by the series’ creative team, Saladin Ahmed and Martín Cóccolo, along with a third story written and drawn by Do a Powerbomb creator Daniel Warren Johnson.

“A big anniversary issue is always a great excuse to go crazy with reveals and unveilings, and we’ve taken that to heart here!” Ahmed said. “In this over-sized issue an old enemy drives Logan’s new pupil the Wendigo to the brink, Logan finally comes face to face with the cryptic entity known as  the Adamantine, and a stunning new family revelation plants the seeds for the next chaotic chapter of Logan’s life.”

Paul Tobin + PJ Holden drop a ‘Dark Pyramid’ on Mad Cave Studios

The five-issue horror/mystery miniseries arrives in March.

Paul Tobin, writer of the recent String, The Mammoth and one of my favorites of 2024, Heart Acres, will team with The Lion and the Eagle artist PJ Holden for the five-issue miniseries Dark Pyramid, which Mad Cave Studios will publish in March.

Described as a combination of “pulse-pounding adventure, chilling horror and high-stakes mystery,” Dark Pyramid will take place in Alaska, specifically on and underneath Mt. Denali, as the girlfriend of a live-streaming adventurer searches for her missing boyfriend. The comic will feature colors by Sara Colella and letters by Taylor Esposito.

Dark Pyramid is a series about uncovering mysteries, and our whole creation process was an ode to that. Such collaborative fun!” Tobin said. “At each step, the whole creative team saw opportunities to make the story and the characters better. More dynamic. More terrifying. More mysterious. It’s a comic about how comics should be made, and that made it into a series that will be loved.”
