Daken: Dark Wolverine #9

X-23 stands her ground on this striking cover by Giuseppe Camuncoli — claws fully extended, teeth bared, and bearing the wear of a brutal encounter as the massive, shadowy silhouette of Daken looms through the bars around her. The "Collision" arc reaches its conclusion here, with writers Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu teaming up alongside artist Marco Checchetto and colorist Frank D'Armata to deliver the dramatic payoff to this clash between two of Wolverine's most dangerous legacy characters. The contrast between X-23's defiant stance and the enveloping darkness pressing in on her sets an appropriately intense tone for a finale.
