Savage Wolverine # 1, published in January 2013 as part of the Marvel NOW! initiative, begins a new solo series where Wolverine is transported to the Savage Land with no memory of how he got there. Written and illustrated by Frank Cho, the issue sets up a team-up with Shanna the She-Devil as they unravel a mystery on a "Forbidden Island" while battling dinosaurs and Neanderthals. 

  • A Strange Awakening: Wolverine awakens on a mysterious island in the Savage Land with no memory of his arrival. He quickly finds himself in his element, battling a Velociraptor almost immediately.
  • Encounter with Shanna: While fighting a group of Neanderthals who have captured a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, Wolverine encounters Shanna the She-Devil, the last survivor of a S.H.I.E.L.D. geological team whose plane crash-landed on the island.
  • The Forbidden Island's Mystery: Shanna explains that her team was investigating a strange, Cthulhu-like machine that produces a dampening field, which caused their aircraft to go down. The machine is located at the foot of a mountain, which is allegedly tied to black magic.
  • New Allies and Foes: The pair must team up to destroy the machine and survive the hostile environment, which is filled with prehistoric creatures and savage Neanderthals. The issue ends as they set out on their journey, establishing the dynamic between the two strong-willed characters.
  • Artistic Direction: The issue is known for its "brawls, babes, and brachiosaurs" retro feel, with highly detailed and clean artwork by Frank Cho.
