Ultimate X-Men #29

A crouching, shirtless Wolverine dominates this David Finch cover, adamantium claws extended and face twisted into a feral snarl against a glowing urban skyline at dusk — it's a striking image that radiates barely contained ferocity. This is part three of the seven-part "Return of the King" arc, with Mark Millar writing and Adam Kubert on interior art, suggesting the story's tension is building toward something significant. Whether you're following the arc from the start or jumping in here, the raw energy of this cover alone makes a compelling case for picking it up.
