Maxx #1/1987

"Mr X - Del 2" marks a pivotal moment in the Maxx series, spotlighting Yukio’s uneasy allegiance to Lord Shingen as tensions rise. Wolverine’s desperate rescue of Mariko from a deadly troupe of Kabuki warriors plunges her into shock—facing the raw, uncontrollable fury beneath his calm exterior. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life with bold, dynamic art by Frank Miller, inks by Josef Rubinstein, and vibrant colors by Glynis Wein, this issue captures a moment of intense vulnerability. The cover, a striking collaboration by Gilbert and Jaime Hernandez, sets the tone with its haunting, stylized vision.
