[[caption-width-right:350:He's right there!]]

''Hunt for Wolverine'' is a 2018 {{crisis crossover}} event published by Creator/MarvelComics, headed by Creator/CharlesSoule.

Nearly four years after [[ComicBook/DeathOfWolverine his death]], ''Hunt for Wolverine'' follows various characters in the MarvelUniverse as they search for their friend after they learn he's been (mysteriously) resurrected, specifically in a one-shot of the same name.

Because this is a [[WolverinePublicity Wolverine-adjacent]] storyline, however, ''Hunt for Wolverine'' is spread over a variety of different titles, [[GenreRoulette most of them told within a different genre]]:

* ''Weapon Lost'', a {{noir}} story wherein ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}, ComicBook/MistyKnight, [[ComicBook/NewMutants Cypher]], and [[ComicBook/CharlesSoulesInhumans Frank [=McGee=]]] attempt to follow leads that'll help them find Logan. Written by Charles Soule and drawn by Matteo Buffagni.
* ''Claws of a Killer'', a {{horror}} story the follows ComicBook/{{Daken}}, ComicBook/{{Sabretooth}}, and Lady Deathstrike to a deserted small town where Logan may or may not be hiding. Written by Mariko Tamaki and drawn by Butch Guice.
* ''Adamantium Agenda'', an [[SpyFiction espionage thriller]] wherein ComicBook/IronMan reunites an old ComicBook/NewAvengers squad (ComicBook/LukeCage, ComicBook/JessicaJones, and ComicBook/SpiderMan) as they uncover a scientific conspiracy regarding Logan's DNA. Written by Tom Taylor and drawn by R.B. Silva.
* ''Mystery in Madripoor'', a ''Film/{{Casablanca}}''-esque {{romance}} in which ComicBook/KittyPryde leads a team of ComicBook/XMen past and present (ComicBook/{{Jubilee}}, ComicBook/{{Psylocke}}, ComicBook/{{Storm}}, ComicBook/{{Rogue}}, ComicBook/{{Domino}}) to the outlaw island state of Madripoor, where there have been reported sightings of Wolverine. Written by Jim Zub and drawn by Thony Silas.

These titles culminate in the ''Dead Ends'' one-shot, which involves each of those factions corroborating stories about where Wolverine may be found -- and if they even ''want'' to find him. This event leads directly into the ''Return of Wolverine'' limited series, also written by Soule.
