Romulus, one of Wolverine’s oldest foes, recently resurfaced in Saladin Ahmed and Martín Cóccolo’s WOLVERINE, and co-creator Simone Bianchi spotlights the villain in a new variant cover for WOLVERINE #8, the milestone 400th issue hitting stands in April.
New York, NY— March 6, 2025 — In their acclaimed new run of WOLVERINE, writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Martín Cóccolo introduced the looming threat of the ADAMANTINE, an ancient primal force who’s been tracking down and controlling villains enhanced by adamantium. After fighting his way through Lady Deathstrike, Cyber and more, WOLVERINE was confronted with ADAMANTINE’s golden-armored champion: ROMULUS!
Romulus, the mastermind villain who manipulated Wolverine’s tragic life for decades, is back, and his brutal battle with Wolverine in this week’s WOLVERINE #7 revealed ADAMANTINE’s lore-shattering history and the scope of its revenge! This explosive first arc concludes next month in WOLVERINE #8, the milestone 400th issue of Wolverine. The highly anticipated issue features a variant cover by superstar artist Simone Bianchi, who co-created Romulus alongside Jeph Loeb inWolverine: Origins. Bianchi’s artwork captures Romulus at his most ferocious as he takes on both Wolverines in his pursuit for ADAMANTINE’s divine power!
