“To Have and Have Not”

In "To Have and Have Not," Wolverine and Rogue track the Silver Samurai and Viper through the streets of Tokyo, leading to a tense confrontation in a Ginza bar where violence and loyalty collide. With Rogue gravely injured and Wolverine’s instincts pushing him to the edge, a desperate act of touch offers a fragile hope—while Mariko’s decision at the wedding altar casts a shadow over Logan’s future. Written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by Paul Smith, with inks by Bob Wiacek and colors by Glynis Wein, this 1983 issue captures the emotional intensity and high stakes of the X-Men’s global missions, all wrapped in a cover by Paul Smith that perfectly frames the chaos.

Wolverine and Rogue go after the Silver Samurai and Viper. Wolverine comes close to killing the Samurai but Mariko steps in and saves her half-brother. Viper tries to blast them but Rogue gets in the way and saves their lives. With Rogue quickly dying, Wolverine touches her skin so she can absorb his healing factor. Storm adopts her punk look which freaks Kitty out. During the wedding ceremony, Mariko calls it off as she has deemed Logan unworthy.
