🩸 Wolverine #1 CBCS 9.4 – Rucka Relaunch, Painted Cover Grit!
This issue kicks off a darker, grittier Wolverine solo series written by Greg Rucka (Gotham Central, Queen & Country), with art by Darick Robertson and a haunting painted cover by Esad Ribić. The series delves deep into Logan’s moral code, identity, and the consequences of violence — marking a tonal shift from the superheroic to the psychological.
Published in 2003, this is the first appearance of the Brothers of the New World, and a modern Wolverine #1 that launched a popular 23-issue run. The raw, emotionally charged art and stark narrative style make it a sleeper key for fans of the character's more grounded stories. This CBCS 9.4 copy is a sharp example, preserved with White Pages.
