Astonishing Tales #5
In "Lowtown Showdown," Wolverine and the Punisher face off against the terrifying Predator X beasts in a brutal fight for survival, but their victory is short-lived—only one beast remains, and now Viper and Hydra have arrived to turn the tide. With Kenneth Rocafort's intense artwork bringing the chaos to life and C. B. Cebulski scripting the tension, this 2009 Marvel thriller delivers a high-stakes clash that pushes its heroes to their limits. The cover by Rocafort captures the grim urgency of the moment, setting the stage for a showdown that’s as relentless as it is unexpected.
