Savage Wolverine #23

There's a quiet melancholy to Declan Shalvey's cover for this 2014 issue — Logan sits alone beneath a blooming cherry blossom tree, petals drifting around him as he gazes upward toward a simple stone monument, his posture somewhere between reflection and grief. It's a striking, understated image that trades claws and fury for stillness, hinting at a more contemplative side of one of Marvel's most complex characters. Writer David Morrell and artist Jonathan Marks, with colors by José Villarrubia, bring their own sensibilities to Savage Wolverine here, making this an intriguing chapter in the series.
