Issues #1–2 of Wolverine (2024) drop Logan into a raw, elemental solo story that strips him down to his core instincts while hinting at larger mythic threats waiting in the shadows. After the collapse of Krakoa and a period of exile from humanity, Logan has retreated deep into the Canadian wilderness, living with a wolf pack and embracing his animal side — a narrative choice fans and reviewers describe as a classic “back to basics” approach for the character. His peace is shattered by the reappearance of familiar enemies, most notably Cyber, whose presence reawakened old wounds and set Logan on edge. Meanwhile, longtime ally Nightcrawler tries to coax Logan back toward connection and purpose, reminding him he still has a role to play even if peace seems out of reach. The first issues center on introspection, survival, and Logan confronting both physical foes and his own rage.
Issue #2 expands the threat beyond just Cyber, introducing a new form of Wendigo with mysterious motives and deepening the theme of duality — Logan’s animal nature versus his moral compass. Reviews from League of Comic Geeks and Comic Book RoundUp note that the Wendigo plotline gives Logan a war on two fronts: he’s hunted himself while also trying to understand what the Wendigo is and what it hides in the northern wilds. The narrative balances brutal fight scenes with quiet moments of reflection, often conveyed through Logan’s internal monologue as he navigates an unforgiving wilderness and his own conflicted psyche. Critics generally see this as a solid progression from issue #1, reinforcing the idea that Logan can’t hide from his past or his own nature.
By issues #3–5, the series begins unfolding a deeper mystery tied to Wolverine’s past and the enduring legacy of adamantium, suggesting that Logan will have to face not just physical enemies but the very nature of what made him Wolverine in the first place. Official synopses reveal that issue #5 explicitly focuses on “the call of the adamantine,” tying directly back to Weapon X and the metal that reshaped his life, implying Logan may confront something worse than adamantium itself. While full plot details for #3–5 aren’t available in full online reviews, this structural progression — from isolation to confrontation to deeper existential threat — appears to be the story’s spine. Given the pattern of reviewers noting the classic Wolverine beats and escalating stakes, the first arc establishes Logan as a lone figure drawn back into conflict not by choice, but by forces tied to his own history and identity.
