The Wellington Comic Lover’s Guide to... Wolverine

Welcome to the Wellington Comic Lover’s Guide, where we take you through the Wellington City Libraries’ collection of a comic book character or series. This guide is all about Wolverine!

His past shrouded in mystery, the loner known as Logan was blessed with the mutant ability to heal from any injury and grow long claws out of his knuckles. After a lifetime of being used as an endlessly expendable soldier, Logan finally found a home with the X-Men, striving alongside them to overcome his dark past and fight for a better tomorrow. He’s the best at what he does, but what he does isn’t very nice... he is Wolverine!

Check out the full guide if you want to know more!
