Daken: Dark Wolverine #8

Part 2 of "Collision" delivers exactly the tense face-off its title promises — Daken and X-23 square off across a rooftop ledge against a glittering city skyline, their retractable claws gleaming between them as ghostly skeletal hands ripple through the darkness behind each combatant. Giuseppe Camuncoli's cover composition is striking in its restraint, letting the charged space between these two Wolverine legacy characters do all the talking. Writers Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu team with artist Marco Checchetto and colorist Frank D'Armata to bring this clash of kindred — and dangerous — souls to life.
