We’re thrilled that he could bring his talents to this Wizard World Ohio Exclusive cover to Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy #1.”
Barberi has worked in the comics industry since 2000. His first professional work in the U.S. was for Dark Horse on the DHP book doing four small stories. After working on DC titles like JLA Jr., Superman, Flash and Batman Brave and the Bold, he moved to Marvel, where he has drawn for New Mutants, Ororo: Before the Storm, X-Force, Age of X, Deadpool, several Spider-Man books, Scarlet Spider, Thunderbolts and Amazing X-Men.
“Wolverine has been the most popular character in this series, and this latest appearance is a great addition that we are sure fans will enjoy,” says John Macaluso, Wizard World CEO.
Wolverine—the greatest X-Men ever—is dead! With this mutant powerhouse now permanently out of the picture, various factions of both good and evil are scrambling to fill the void left by Logan’s death. Will Wolverine’s Legacy be shaped by heroes who valiantly fought alongside him …or by those villains treacherous enough to have challenged him over the many years of his long life? The answers will be revealed in this special 7-issue limited series that spins directly out of the mega-popular Death of Wolverine. This series will feature unique solo adventures of several instrumental figures in shaping Logan’s Legacy: X-23, Sabretooth, Daken, Lady Deathstrike and Mystique. Writer: Charles Soule; Artist: Oliver Nome.
