Savage Wolverine #17

Richard Isanove handles every creative dimension of this 2014 Marvel issue — writing, art, inks, and color — and the cover showcases that complete vision beautifully. A battered, tense Wolverine stands in casual clothes with adamantium claws extended and bloodied, while a massive, ominous bat-winged shadow looms on the wall behind him, suggesting a threat far larger than the man himself. "Wrath Conclusion" promises exactly what that title implies, and Isanove's moody, painterly cover sets the tone with quiet menace.
