Wolverine #56
In "The Man in the Pit," writer Jason Aaron and artist Howard Chaykin deliver a stark, haunting tale of isolation and unexpected connection. Wendell, a quiet man with a routine as unremarkable as his life, spends his days firing at a feral mutant trapped in a pit—keeping the man’s healing factor perpetually overwhelmed. But when the man in the pit begins to speak, Wendell’s carefully maintained world starts to crack. Cover by Howard Chaykin.

Wendell is a small, average man with a pitiful life. Every day he goes to his job, sitting at a machine gun and periodically shooting a hairy, feral man in a pit to keep the savage mutant's healing factor in overload so he cannot escape. Wendell's life is not all that great but he manages to keep it under control. That is, until the man in the pit, the man he continually shoots day in and day out, starts talking to him.
