Logan: Black White & Blood #1 flashes back to the decades before Wolverine joined the X-Men in brutal stories of his most hardcore adventures

Marvel Comics' Black, White & Blood anthology series is back with a new volume focusing on stories of Logan - better known to some as Wolverine - in the years before he became a superhero and joined the X-Men. We've got an early preview of all three tales from Logan: Black, White & Blood #1, featuring the kind of over-the-top hack-and-slash action promised by the title.

Here's Marvel's description for story one: "Tom Waltz and Alex Lins reveal Logan’s never-before-revealed military service during the 1950s – with a secret connection to a fan-favorite Marvel character!"

And story two: "A mission in seedy 1970s Times Square puts Logan on the trail of a deranged serial killer, as told by Saladin Ahmed and Adam Kubert."

And finally story three: "Survival is the name of the game after Logan escapes from Weapon X – by Larry Hama and Dave Wachter."

Here's a gallery featuring one page from each story, in the order listed above:
