Return of Wolverine Omnibus

Background. Logan died in Charles Soule's Death of Wolverine in 2014 — encased in molten adamantium after his healing factor was shut down by the Weapon X program offshoot. His absence from the Marvel Universe lasted through Secret Wars and the subsequent Marvel NOW! era. Return of Wolverine brought him back in 2018 with a deliberate mystery about what happened between death and return, and a new wrinkle: his claws now run at high temperature, capable of cauterizing wounds as they cut.

What's inside. This omnibus collects the Return of Wolverine five-issue miniseries by Soule, plus the Hunt for Wolverine limited series and its associated one-shots that set up the return by following different Marvel characters tracking clues about Logan's whereabouts. The collection presents the complete return event — the detective work and the reveal — in a single readable sequence.

Why it's worth it. The Hunt for Wolverine material features some of the strongest Wolverine-adjacent storytelling of the late 2010s, with different creative teams approaching the character through the perspectives of those who knew him best. Soule's Return of Wolverine pays off the Hunt mystery while adding the hot-claws mystery that Percy's ongoing later resolved. For collectors, this omnibus completes the Soule Wolverine trilogy alongside Death of Wolverine.
