Wolverine is dying. It seems that all the radiation he’s
encountered over the decades has accumulated in his Adamantium skeleton and developed
into cancer. Add to that all the
diseases he’s introduced in his body from using his claws, gunshots, stabbings,
etc. and Wolverine’s immune system has gone kaput!
His healing factor no longer works, although he still
retains his strength and speed.
Good thing too because Viper has a contract on him and every
two-bit hood, criminal organization and assassin has come gunning for him.
The latest is Nuke who at first has the advantage over
Wolverine. But that’s before Wolverine
decides to “head-up” an assault and “butt in”.
It looks to be all out war as Wolverine prepares for the
battle of his life…or death.
Charles Soule provides the dialogue and super-star penciller
Steve McNiven the art in what promises to be a spectacular mini-series about
Marvel’s favorite mutant son: Wolverine.
Included in the book are sketches and a commentary by McNiven
and a special interview with Wolverine’s creator Len Wein from Marvel Comics.
