Marvel Comics has revealed Wolverine and Ghost Rider’s first meeting, as the pair of deadly heroes faced a common enemy.
In Ghost Rider/Wolverine: Weapons of Vengeance - Alpha #1 by Benjamin Percy, Geoff Shaw, Rain Beredo, and Travis Lanham, the story takes place in the past and follows a young boy named Bram who is mysteriously linked to a demon-like creature who is killing those who stand in his way. Rejected by the X-Men for not being a mutant, Bram continues to lose control, nearly killing Marvel’s mutants at Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters, leading Wolverine on his trail. However, as he’s chasing down Bram, he encounters Johnny Blaze. The pair of heroes exchange blows, with Ghost Rider getting the upper hand before telling Logan they are fighting a common threat and he’s not the evil he sought. The issue ends with Wolverine and Ghost Rider riding alongside each other on their motorcycles as the dark story behind their first team-up is told.
The issue is now available on CaptCan Comics with several covers, including a George Perez incentive variant starring Wolverine and a Frank Miller incentive variant featuring Wolverine in his signature style. Both covers can be ordered with text dressing at their standard price.
LOGAN & BLAZE - THE WEAPONS OF VENGEANCE! LOGAN's the best there is at what he does - and what he does as the deadly WOLVERINE isn't very nice. When innocent blood is spilled, JOHNNY BLAZE becomes the GHOST RIDER, equipped to deal punishment with the power of hellfire! A demonic serial killer is murdering innocent mutants. But what is it about this deadly new villain that forces our two heroes to team up? And what buried secret does he share with Wolverine and Ghost Rider's never-before-seen very first meeting in the past? Get ready for claws, chains and violence as only Benjamin Percy (WOLVERINE, GHOST RIDER) and Geoff Shaw (THANOS, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY) can bring in this four-part epic!
So, where is the crossover going next? Following Ghost Rider/Wolverine: Weapons of Vengeance - Alpha #1, Wolverine and Ghost Rider can be seen next in Ghost Rider #17 and Wolverine #36 before the four-issue crossover arc concludes with Ghost Rider/Wolverine: Weapons of Vengeance Omega.
