6	After his death, his friends mourned him. With his reappearance, everyone looked for him. But how did Wolverine return? The final part of Charles Soule's ''ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}'' trilogy, starting with ''ComicBook/DeathOfWolverine'' and followed by ''ComicBook/HuntForWolverine'', ''Return of Wolverine'' will tell the tale of how Wolverine escaped his inescapable death.

8	Waking up with no memories but a name and people to protect, Wolverine must once again outrun his past as he tries to piece his life back together. But some parts are better left forgotten, and some people don't want Wolverine to return...
9
10	After this series, Wolverine will go on to reunite with an also resurrected Cyclops in ''ComicBook/UncannyXMen2018''. ComicBook/MonicaRambeau said it best: "[[ComicBook/{{Nextwave}} X-men come back more than Jesus.]]"

12	----
13	!! Tropes applying to ''Return of Wolverine'':
14	* AnimateDead: Persephone's chief ability, which she uses to form an army by animating corpses. Doing this to Wolverine reactivated his healing factor, resulting in him genuinely coming back from the dead.
15	* BigDamnKiss: Ava kisses Logan because... reasons? He just saved her life, but still. [[spoiler:She later turns out to be DeadAllAlong and possessed by Persephone, who was presumably just screwing with Logan]].
16	* CallBack: The way Logan destroys Persephone's final satellite is similar to how he destroyed Cornelius' adamantium reserves in ''Death of Wolverine''.
17	* ContinuityNod: This series uses the plot elements introduced in the ''Hunt For Wolverine'' series and naturally elaborates on the clues the others found towards Logan's situation.
18	** Weapon Lost: Logan was under the control of the villain performing black ops for them.
19	** Claws of a Killer: The villain has the power to animate the dead, for which they were experimenting with machinery to do more strongly over longer distances.
20	** Adamantium Agenda: Sinister's database of everyone's DNA was pilfered to keep track of every powered person on Earth, as those with powers retain them after reanimation.
21	* ContinuitySnarl: The series seemingly takes place before all the stuff in Legacy with Logan wielding an Infinity Stone, as he very clearly has his memories in those stories, as well as his little cameos during said relaunch. However, the original Jean Grey is back in this story (and leading her own group of X-Men)... which happened a while after Legacy began. However, ''Wolverine: Infinity Watch'' #1 later revealed that [[spoiler:the Logan who did the Infinity Stone stuff is actually Old Man Phoenix from Jason Aaron's ''Thor'' series]].
22	* EliteMooks: Superhumans reanimated by Persephone retain their powers.
23	* EvilPlan: Soteira has a KillSat network literally capable of instantly killing everyone on Earth and then projecting her powers to reanimate everyone under her control. Complete, undetected world takeover.
24	* FossilRevival: One of Soteira's projects is research into reviving extinct species.
25	* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Wolverine's resurrection is the result of this, as Persephone's ability of [[AnimateDead animating the dead]] backfired when she tried it on him, reactivating his then-dormant HealingFactor and leading to him being resurrected under his own power rather than as her puppet.
26	* OffingTheOffspring: Logan kills Daken one more time, by setting him on fire.
27	* OneSteveLimit: Two months after this series started, ''Dead Man Logan'' began, which promises to do away with the Old Man Logan character that Marvel had brought in to replace the original Logan.
28	* RemoteBody: Because of her powers Persephone has an unlimited amount of proxy bodies at her disposal.
29	* RetCanon: The heat claws are apparently inspired by ''Marvel vs. Capcom'' of all things.
30	* TheReveal: Persephone is a mutant with the ability to [[AnimateDead reanimate the dead under her control]]. Logan was revived when she acquired his corpse and an unexpected interaction between her powers and his healing factor brought him back completely.
31	* RevisitingTheRoots: The series' approach to Wolverine seemingly resets him back to his original state: he is now amnesiac and doesn't know how he got his powers. This hasn't been a thing since ''House of M'' happened and gave him full access to his memories. In the end it's [[spoiler: averted, as Logan releases all his memories and aspects anyway... except his berserker side -- what this means going forward in unclear]].
32	* UnstoppableRage: The aspect of Logan that embodies this side of him is monstrous, and entering his berserker mode now aslso causes his claws to heat up.
