Wolverine #2

Wolverine, stripped of his healing factor by a deadly Negative Zone virus, faces the terrifying reality of mortality for the first time. As he grapples with the vulnerability of his body and mind, a desperate mission emerges: the only other person immune to the virus—The Host—is imprisoned in Wakanda. With the world at risk and no one left to stop the spread, Wolverine must confront his own fear while tracking down the mysterious woman who might hold the key to survival.

In "Killable Part 1," Victoria Frankenstein and the Host race against time as an alien virus spreads, wiping out every meta-human immune to its control—leaving the Host as humanity’s final defense. With Wolverine stripped of his healing factor and forced into a desperate fight against Black Panther, Storm and Fury lead a high-stakes mission into a Wakandan jungle lab to extract the Host before the virus consumes the world.

Wolverine returns to the mansion to find his room torn apart and his samurai sword stolen—Mystique’s handiwork, it seems. With the X-Men tracking the breach to Sabretooth’s faction of the Hand, Wolverine vows to Beast he’ll let it go—then immediately takes off in the Blackbird to reclaim his weapon. Kitty follows, furious at his broken promise, only to see the jet shot down by Batroc, who’s after a ten million dollar bounty on Wolverine’s head. Even without his healing factor, the fight is far from over.

Without his healing factor, Wolverine fights a desperate battle against the Hand and Lord Deathstrike through the empty corridors of a forgotten Canadian shopping mall, where every step echoes with danger and the shadows move with purpose. The Host and the Hand’s five enigmatic figures—The Pointing Finger, The Testing Finger, The Curled Finger, The Little Finger, and The Thumb—watch from the edges, their intentions as sharp as the blades they wield.
