Death of Wolverine #1

Steve McNiven and Jay Leisten's cover for this opening chapter of the four-part miniseries says everything with remarkable economy: a battered, bloodied Wolverine — claws extended — stands with his back to us, framed within his own silhouette bearing a bold red target with an "X" at its center. That striking image, set against a stark black background, captures a hunter become the hunted in a way that feels both inevitable and genuinely affecting. Charles Soule, McNiven, Leisten, and colorist Justin Ponsor kick off "The End" with a first issue that promises something weighty for one of Marvel's most enduring characters.
