Set in 1977 across the rugged wilderness of Canada and the gritty heart of America, Wolverine: Blood Hunt follows Logan — a haunted drifter trying to outrun his violent past. Ten years after escaping the Weapon X program, his memories are fractured, his hands are stained, and his humanity hangs by a thread. Living off the grid, Logan struggles to suppress the animal inside, seeking solace in the bottle and the quiet of the road. But when bodies begin turning up torn to shreds across the northern border, whispers of a familiar name reach his ears — Victor Creed. His former brother-in-arms, now a relentless killer, has resurfaced with a savage vendetta and a trail of carnage leading straight to Logan. Drawn into a brutal confrontation with his oldest enemy, Logan is forced to face the monster he’s tried to bury — both in Creed and within himself. As the Canadian wilderness becomes their battleground, blood and snow blend into a primal symphony of rage and redemption. Wolverine: The Hunt is a raw, R-rated odyssey through the violent heart of two men born of the same nightmare — a story of pain, revenge, and the thin, tearing line between man and beast.
