Savage Wolverine #20

A rain-soaked noir atmosphere drips off Declan Shalvey's cover for this 2014 All-New Marvel NOW! entry, where a trench-coated, hat-wearing Wolverine looms in the wet darkness, adamantium claws extended and coat stained red, while a body lies sprawled in the foreground beside a vintage automobile. Frank Tieri and Felix Ruiz bring a gritty, hard-boiled sensibility to the story titled "Valentine's Day" — a title that feels delightfully at odds with the menacing scene on display. If you enjoy Wolverine at his most brooding and cinematic, this issue's mood is hard to resist.
