Wolverine #6
Editorial Televisa's Wolverine #6 (2014) is part of a 13-issue Spanish-language Mexican reprint series that brought Paul Cornell's critically discussed 'Three Months to Die' storyline to Latin American readers for the first time in their native language. The issue reprints the opening chapter of 'The Madripoor Job,' a pivotal arc in which a de-powered, healing-factor-less Logan operates as an undercover spy against Sabretooth's criminal empire — a storytelling shift that stripped the character down to his tactical and psychological core rather than his regenerative invincibility. As part of Televisa's broader effort to serve Marvel fans across Mexico with contemporary, in-continuity material, this issue helped sustain a readership for one of the most consequential Wolverine runs of the 2010s, one that fed directly into the landmark 'Death of Wolverine' event. It also marks one of the few times that British writer Paul Cornell's MI-13 characters — Pete Wisdom, the Black Knight, and Faiza Hussain — crossed into a Wolverine solo title, making it a touchstone for fans of Cornell's broader Marvel work.
In Wolverine #6, a devastating revelation shakes the mutant legend: Beast confirms that Wolverine’s healing factor has been utterly destroyed by a virus from the Negative Zone, leaving him fully mortal for the first time. Now grappling with the terrifying vulnerability of a simple razor cut and the weight of his own mortality, Wolverine faces a new kind of battle—one not of fists, but of fear and grief. When Nick Fury reveals that the virus still threatens to spread and only one survivor remains—known only as The Hostess, imprisoned in Wakanda—Wolverine must confront his fate with a resolve tested like never before. Written by Paul Cornell and illustrated by Mirco Pierfederici, with inks by Karl Kesel, colors by Andres Mossa, and letters by VC's Cory Petit, the cover by Alan Davis and Mark Farmer captures the grim intensity of this turning point.
Wolverine grapples with the devastating truth that his healing factor has been erased, leaving him mortal for the first time in his life—every cut, every scar now a threat. As he struggles to come to terms with his vulnerability, Nick Fury Jr. reveals a dire new danger: a deadly virus from the Negative Zone has wiped out every metahuman capable of controlling it—except one. That one is The Host, currently imprisoned in Wakanda, and the only hope to stop the outbreak.

Editorial Televisa held the Marvel Comics publishing license in Mexico after acquiring it from Editorial Vid, which had mismanaged the line and was ultimately forced out by a Marvel cease-and-desist. The Televisa Wolverine (2014–2015) series of 13 issues reprinted Paul Cornell and Gerardo Sandoval's All-New Marvel NOW! volume (Wolverine Vol. 6) in Spanish for the Mexican market. Cornell conceived the entire run as one continuous story about a mortal Wolverine — stripped of his healing factor — forced to be smarter and more methodical than ever before, with the Madripoor arc beginning in issue #6 representing the series' shift from character-study to full spy-thriller mode. Sandoval replaced series launch artist Ryan Stegman for this arc, bringing what Cornell described as a raw, kinetic energy that kept the book feeling urgent.
