Havok & Wolverine - Meltdown #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe painted watercolor cover by Jon J. Muth sets an immediately distinctive tone for this 1988 Epic Comics prestige-format series — Havok looms large in the background, his black costume and circular chest emblem radiating quiet menace, while Wolverine crouches in the foreground with claws fully extended. Walter and Louise Simonson team up on the writing, with Muth and Kent Williams bringing a painterly, atmospheric sensibility that feels refreshingly unlike anything else Marvel was publishing at the time. If you're drawn to X-Men stories with genuine artistic ambition, Meltdown #1 is a compelling place to start.

Alex and Logan are vacationing in Mexico when they are forced to abscond with the car of a beautiful woman to escape from Mexican gunmen (she comes along for the ride). Their peril continues as they are chased by goons with lasers whom Havok dispatches with a few well placed plasma bolts. No one is more surprised than our heroes, however, when their new girlfriend pulls out a gun and shoots them. Wolverine wakes up in the hospital to learn that he and Alex were pumped full of bubonic plague and Alex has died. Suspicious, Logan digs up Alex's grave to find a dummy in the coffin.
