Oct 14, 2026Wolverine: Paradise #1 marks a strong first issue from Dan Panosian and Cory Petit. The issue feels like a story that respects the lore of the character but doesn’t bog down the reader with knowing it all. Panosian expertly guides you through the story using the work of Petit to catch you up along the way. Read Full Review

Oct 15, 2026Wolverine: Paradise promises to be a definitive tale for all Logan fans. However, it’s also easily accessible to those few comic readers who have never picked up an X-Men comic before. Achieving that magic balance proves that Dan Panosian, much like Logan, is the best there is at what he does. Read Full Review

Oct 14, 2026Wolverine: Paradise #1 is a stylish, atmospheric debut that reminds us why giving a talented creator complete control can lead to something special. Dan Panosian captures the laid-back spirit of the 1970s while exploring a Wolverine who desperately needs a break but can't ignore his heroic instincts. The artwork is phenomenal, with expressive character acting and inventive layouts that make every scene a pleasure to experience. A little more story would have been welcome, especially given the amount of promotional back matter, but this is a wonderfully refreshing take on Wolverine. Read Full Review

Oct 14, 2026Wolverine: Paradise #1 is a stylish and entertaining debut that combines Logan’s grief with the vibrant excess and criminal underworld of 1980s Miami. Dan Panosian’s confident writing and distinctive artwork make this an exciting start with plenty of promise for issue two. Grab a copy of this issue when you’re at the LCS this week and enjoy the wonderful nostalgia and fun story. I’m sure after you read issue one, you will be hooked for at least issue two, if not the whole series. Read Full Review

Oct 16, 2026Dan Panosian crafts a Wolverine story that echoes the era when the creator first entered the Marvel comic space: a comic that feels ripped out of the 1990s in the best way possible. Read Full Review

Oct 14, 2026Wolverine: Paradise #1 is an entertaining start that feels a little retro in a way like it'd fit in classic Marvel Comics Presents or the first ongoing volume of Wolverine. Read Full Review

Oct 15, 2026Wolverine: Paradise #1 is a stylized story I wasn’t expecting. A Wolverine book set in Miami in the 80s gives Panosian the chance to put all of the energy/vibes/aesthetics of that time period into a superhero book. I really like that this book has a singular vision, so there’s complete synergy between the writing and the art. I am really glad I picked this up because it seems to be a tight story that’s told in the world of superheroes. And I cannot think of a flashier time than the 80s and a sweeter setting than Miami.

Plot
It’s the 1980s. Wolverine is grieving the loss of Jean (following the Phoenix Saga) and decides to get as far away from the X-Mansion as possible—Miami feels like the complete opposite.
During his motorcycle journey, he encounters Miami’s criminal underworld and takes them down. He even ends up at an ice cream stand, where he happens to run into Dazzler, who is skating by, carefree.
Dazzler mentions to Wolverine that she has a musical performance at a nightclub and might need his help.
Intrigued by the invitation, Wolverine decides to head to the club. To his surprise, he finds himself enjoying Dazzler’s musical act—and soon realizes why she needed his help: Hammerhead is there, which spells trouble. When more+ Like • Comment -

another Wolverine story taking place in the past which eliminates any stakes. However Ahmed is doing the devils work on the solo wolverine title putting out absolute trash ... so ill take this with open arms. Panosian has a good grasp of the character and the setting of the book. Its actually really fun to read. The retro setting and art /color makes the book stand out. the cover is bad ass also. im not in love with the book but yeah best wolverine anything besides infernal hulk vs Wolverine. I'll be coming back for issue 2.
