In addition to the synopsis, Marvel has also shared the first official look at Wendigo as the new Wolverinethrough the cover art for issue #1 by Martín Cóccolo. The image shows Wendigo wearing Wolverine’s classic costume and even rocking Logan’s signature hairstyle, making him feel like a natural fit for the role.
While Wendigo’s debut as Wolverine looks incredible, it’s the background that has caught fans' attention. Behind Wendigo stands a figure who appears to be Logan himself, now wearing a sinister half-skull mask. This detail may suggest that Logan is still alive but no longer aligned with the heroes. If that’s the case,Wendigomay not just be replacing Logan asWolverine, he may be stepping up to oppose him.
