Wolverine: The Long Night (Limited Series, 2019, Marvel Comics)
Originally adapted from the acclaimed Marvel audio drama, this dark, atmospheric Wolverine story unfolds as a slow-burn mystery set in the isolated town of Burning Tree, Alaska. When a string of brutal murders draws federal investigators north, their search leads them to a feral outsider—Logan—whose violent reputation and fractured memories place him at the center of the investigation.
Rather than a traditional superhero tale, The Long Night leans into noir, horror, and psychological tension. Wolverine is portrayed as a looming presence, more legend than man, as the truth behind the killings slowly comes into focus. The series emphasizes mood, isolation, and moral ambiguity, offering a grounded and unsettling take on the character.
Published as a self-contained limited series, this run stands completely apart from ongoing Wolverine volumes and requires no prior reading. It is an ideal entry point for readers looking for a darker, more cinematic Wolverine story.
