Wolverine: Patch #1 Preview Takes the Mutant on a Madripoor Adventure (Exclusive)

February 11, 2022, 11:00am

Legendary comic book creator Larry Hama was a force of nature at the House of Ideas for his work on G.I. Joe and Wolverine, returning to Marvel in recent years for new tales of everyone’s favorite mutant, plus Iron Fist and Conan the Barbarian. For his next series at the publisher, Hama will continue his work on Wolverine but this time telling us an all-new story of his time in disguise as his alter ego “Patch,” picking up with an all-new story in the spirit of his work on the character in the 1990s. ComicBook.com has an exclusive preview of some new patches from Wolverine: Patch #1 which you can find below along with the official covers for the first two issues.

“It was like coming home again. I was totally immersed in the Wolverine universe for 8 years, so I feel very comfortable when I return to it,” Hama previously told ComicBook.com about his return to writing the character in his “Patch” persona. “I took over the Wolverine title when he was still Patch in Madripoor, but moved him out of there within a year — and no, I didn’t have any “untold” stories just sitting there, because I wrote all those these stories page by page, not knowing what was on page three until I got to page two.”
