Wolverine: First Class #9

In "Koan," Wolverine faces his most primal challenge yet when Sabretooth captures Kitty Pryde, forcing him to seek help from Shang Chi to control his rage. Written by Fred Van Lente and illustrated by Francis Portela, with colors by Ulises Arreola and letters by Joe Caramagna, this issue explores the clash of instinct and discipline as Wolverine discovers that the lessons he resists may be his greatest strength. The cover, by Salva Espín and Karl Kesel, captures the intensity of the moment.
