Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost Rider mash-up character Hellverine is getting his own ongoing comic “because you demanded it”

Hellverine, Marvel’s mash-up of Wolverine and a Ghost Rider-style Spirit of Vengeance, is sticking around for the foreseeable future, as the publisher is following up the character’s just concluded limited series with a new ongoing title from writer Benjamin Percy and artist Raffaele Ienco.

But rather than continue the story of Logan’s possession by the demon Bagra-Ghul, the ongoing series will pick up where the limited series left off, with Logan’s son Akihiro as the new Hellverine. You can see him in action on Kendrick ‘Kunkka’ Lim’s cover for the new Hellverine #1, seen below:

Akihiro was killed and dismembered by Sabretooth back in the ‘Sabretooth War’ story, with no apparent means of resurrection left after the fall of Krakoa. But Akihiro has now been resurrected as the Hellverine, and to start off his big return, he’s teaming up with Doctor Strange to learn to control his new demonic side as a Spirit of Vengeance (like Ghost Rider).
