Wolverine Noir #2

In "2: Alley Cats," Wolverine Noir’s grim pursuit of his missing partner leads him into a shadowy web of deceit, where a mysterious ninja woman named Yurko crosses his path. With danger closing in, Jim sets a tense rendezvous with the enigmatic Mariko, only to suspect she’s a trap—and then faces off against his prime suspect, Creed, in a brutal boxing match that leaves him broken. Written by Stuart Moore and illustrated by C. P. Smith, with colors by Rain Beredo and letters by Jeff Eckleberry, this 2009 issue delivers a hard-edged, noir-infused clash of fists and secrets, all wrapped in a cover by C. P. Smith.
