Die offizielle Marvel-Comic-Sammlung #26
In this pivotal issue from the official Marvel Comic Collection, a simmering family conflict erupts into violence when Dog’s unwanted advances toward Rose trigger a chain of events that upends the Howlett estate. As James watches helplessly, his father Thomas takes desperate measures to reclaim dignity—leading to a shocking confrontation that unleashes a primal transformation in James. Written by Paul Jenkins, Bill Jemas, Joe Quesada, and Jürgen Petz, with art by Andy Kubert and colors by Richard Isanove, the issue’s cover by Joe Quesada captures the tension in a single, haunting moment.
In "null," Rose arrives at the Howlett estate to keep company with the ailing James Howlett, a troubled boy surrounded by a family of contradictions—his father charming, his mother erratic, his grandfather cold. With James and the spirited Dog, son of the estate’s drunken caretaker Thomas Logan, they form an unlikely trio, bonding over mischief and quiet rebellion in a world that feels just a little too heavy for their years.
In a quiet moment at the Howlett estate, Dog’s unwanted advances toward Rose spark a chain of events that shatters the fragile peace. When James sees his father’s reaction, the tension escalates—leading to a violent reckoning when Dog kills James’ puppies and the boy and his father are cast out. Seeking justice, Thomas Logan forces Rose to help him infiltrate the Howlett home, but the plan unravels when John catches him in the act. As chaos erupts, James arrives just in time to witness his father’s murder—and in a moment of raw fury, his claws erupt, ending Thomas once and for all.
In the haunting story "null," James—known now as Logan—grapples with the aftermath of killing Thomas Logan, the man he believes murdered his father. After being cast out by his mother and abandoned by his grandfather, he journeys with Rose to a remote mining camp, where her growing concern over his fractured memories and uncanny healing hints at a past far deeper than he remembers.
In the harsh winter of a remote Canadian mining camp, James—quiet and fragile—endures daily torment from the camp’s cruel cook, while his close companion Rose watches with growing unease. When James, now known as Logan, finally refuses to fight back and flees into the wild, he is set upon by a pack of wolves, marking the beginning of a transformation he can no longer control.
In the rugged isolation of a remote stone quarry, Logan endures a double life—by day, a laborer breaking rock, by night, a wild force among a wolf pack. When a cruel sabotage by the camp’s cook sends men to their deaths, Logan must confront both the brutal truth of his past and the simmering betrayal among those he trusted. As the weight of memory and violence pulls him toward a reckoning, a final journey home begins—carried on the back of a loyal dog and the fading call of a dying man.
In "null," Wolverine grapples with the aftermath of a hard-won battle when his past resurfaces in the form of Dog, a man claiming to have killed Logan’s father and witnessed his mother’s suicide. As old wounds reopen, Logan’s rage spirals into violence, leading to a devastating moment that forces him to flee the life he once knew. The story unfolds with raw emotional weight, exploring the cost of memory and the ghosts that never truly stay buried.
