The mantle of Wolverine is set to be assumed by the Wendigo in the upcoming X-Men saga, titled “Age of Revelation.” This narrative is a reimagining of the classic tale, “The Age of Apocalypse,” but unlike its beloved predecessor, “Age of Revelation” unfolds a decade into the future. In this story, Revelation, formerly Doug Ramsey who succeeded Apocalypse in X-Men: The Heir of Apocalypse, has taken over the world following his rise to power. As events from the current X-Men series unfold, the story will span across miniseries replacing the usual X-Men books and books featuring non-mutant Marvel characters, similar to “The Age of Apocalypse.” Marvel has been gradually revealing details about the new titles, and The Last Wolverine has sparked much anticipation among Wolverine enthusiasts.
In the years that have passed, Vancouver’s citizens celebrate their new champion: the Marvelous Wolverine, also known as the Wendigo – Logan’s last disciple, as revealed by Marvel. However, the fate of Logan remains unclear. A secret from Wolverine’s history will drive his final student on a quest to honor his mentor’s legacy, but this could all be threatened by a grave danger that might consume everything first!
In his debut, Wolverine encountered the Wendigo in issue #181 of The Incredible Hulk, and since then, he’s faced this monsterous creature in issues of Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine. The Wendigo is a Native American curse that turns people into ravenous, almost indestructible beasts when they consume human flesh. Characters as formidable as Hulk and Wolverine have struggled against the Wendigo. Fans of Wolverine had been waiting for a new Wendigo story for quite some time until Saladin Ahmed’s run on Wolverine (Vol. 8). In issue #2, Wolverine battled a fresh Wendigo, but soon realized that this one was unlike any he’d faced before – the host of the curse was a teenager, and Wolverine managed to talk him out of his frenzy. Wolverine took Leonard, as he learned the teen’s real name, under his wing, attempting to teach him how to control the Wendigo curse.
In a powerful partnership, Wolverine and Leonard complemented each other well, as Wolverner applied his personal knowledge about berserker outbursts to guide Leonard on managing his inner demons. Meanwhile, Leonard assisted Wolverine in combating adversaries like Adamantine, Cyber, Lady Deathstrike, Constrictor, Donald Pierce, and Romulus. The situation became precarious when the hired gun Arcade attempted to unleash the beast within Leonard. However, Leonard demonstrated self-control, rescuing Wolverine from a deadly acid trap at the cost of his own life, seemingly sacrificing himself for the well-being of ‘Canucklehead’.
Nevertheless, this selfless deed enabled Leonard to break free from the curse and regain his human form, with Wolverine escorting him back home to his mother. Ahmed’s portrayal of Wendigo and Wolverine’s bond was commendable, adding depth to the narrative. Many readers were saddened by Leonard’s departure, but the “Age of Revelation” announcement promises to cheer them up.
The upcoming comic book series titled “Age of Revelation” is expected to significantly alter several Marvel characters since it takes place a number of years after Revelation has taken control, set in the future. Previews have hinted at Wolverine donning an adamantium mask, leading many to assume that The Last Wolverine will feature Logan. Assigning the book to Leonard is a shrewd move and aligns with what we’ve seen of “Age of Revelation” thus far, as we’re also getting a Laura Kinney: Sabretooth comic. It will be intriguing to see how these new iterations of Wolverine and Sabretooth impact the narrative of “Age of Revelation.” Despite Ahmed’s Wolverine being inconsistent, introducing Leonard in The Last Wolverine might be the key to improving the series.
The Last Wolverine #1, written by Saladin Ahmed with art by Edgar Salazar, drops October 22 2025.
