Wolverine‘s mutant son has made an epic return as a new Ghost Rider in Hellverine #1. The new story launched this week and is Hellverine’s first ever solo series.
In the first issue, the demonic force known as Bagra-Ghul is seen in the past, with a flashback revealing Wolverine’s days when he was transformed into the deadly killing machine known as Hellverine. Elsewhere in present-day Virginia and the DC area, a new Hellverine has risen, and a science lab devoted to the arsenal of Hell sees the rise of the all-new Hellfire Warriors. In the short time since the new variant has come into play, he has ridden around on Ghost Rider‘s motorcycle and went on a murderous rampage, killing an exploitative priest, serial killers and even a dinner party of cannibals to turn them into shrines for Mephisto. The issue ends on a cliffhanger, with Wolverine recognizing the new Hellverine as his son through his tattoos. Hellverine #1 is available now from Marvel Comics.
