To a leaser extent, that's also true of Dr. Malheur and Dai-Kumo. While some of them end up in life-threatening situations, there's no real risk of lasting harm.

The story is an {{Interquel}}, set just prior to the start of Larry Hama's 1990-1997 run on the ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine|1988}}'' series. At this point in time, after ''ComicBook/TheFallOfTheMutants'', the world believes the X-Men to be dead. When away from the team, Logan has taken up residence in the corrupt Asian island nation of Madripoor, where he's wearing an eyepatch - and using the alias 'Patch' - in the hope he won't be recognised.

''Wolverine: Patch'' is a 2022 comic book limited series from Creator/MarvelComics. It's part of the ComicBook/XMen franchise and stars Logan, the titular [[Characters/WolverineJamesLoganHowlett Wolverine]]. The series is written by Creator/LarryHama, with art by Andrea Di Vito and Le Beau Underwood, and color art by Sebastian Cheng.

The story is an {{Interquel}}, set just prior to the start of Larry Hama's 1990-1997 run on the ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine|1988}}'' series. At this point in time, after ''ComicBook/TheFallOfTheMutants'', the world believes the X-Men to be dead. When away from the team, Logan has taken up residence in the corrupt Asian island nation of Madripoor, where he's wearing an eyepatch - and using the alias 'Patch' - in the hope he won't be recognised.

He's still trying to help people, though. And he still keeps getting into trouble. On this occasion, that's because Madripoor's Prince thinks something untoward is happening in Madripoor's jungle-covered highlands, and wants Patch to go investigate. The Prince isn't exactly trustworthy, but if Patch doesn't play along, it could be awkward for his friends. And it's a simple job - how bad could it be?

As it turns out, it could be very bad indeed. And a lot of people are about to die.

The first issue was released March 23, 2022.

----
!!''Wolverine: Patch'' contains examples of:
* {{Interquel}}: The series was published in 2022, but it's set during the first ongoing ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine|1988}}'' series, which launched in 1988. Specifically, it's set just before Creator/LarryHama's run started in 1990.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:At the end of the series, Wolverine loses his memory of the events]]
* VariantCover: The first issue has two variants as well as its standard cover.
