Wolverine #19

In "Goodbye Chinatown Part 3," Wolverine and his allies bring down the Jade Claw's underground opium operation in San Francisco, marking a turning point in their fight against the syndicate. As the dust settles, they unwind at Harry's Hideaway, where new alliances form and old ties shift—Fat Cobra rises as the new Black Dragon, while Melita departs for New York, taking a job at the Daily Bugle. Written by Jason Aaron and brought to life with gritty precision by Ron Garney (pencils and inks), with colors by Jason Keith and letters by Cory Petit, this pivotal issue closes a chapter with a mix of quiet resolve and shifting power dynamics. The cover, also by Ron Garney, captures the moment’s weight in shadow and steel.
