Wolverine #53 [Black & White Variant Edition]
In "Evolution Chapter Four: Insomnia," Wolverine grapples with unsettling dreams as Black Panther and Storm suggest a radical theory: he and others like him may be a separate branch of human evolution. With Sabretooth on the loose—aided by Wildchild—and four mysterious lupine heroes emerging to pursue him, the hunt turns personal. Written by Jeph Loeb and illustrated with striking intensity by Simone Bianchi, with inks by Bianchi and Andrea Silvestri, this black-and-white variant edition captures the tension and mystery of a world where humanity’s past may be far stranger than anyone thought. The cover, by Simone Bianchi, sets the tone with a haunting, stark vision of the beast within.
