Art by Adam Kubert, Mark Farmer, Dan Green, and Mark Pennington. Story continued from X-Men (1991-2008 1st Series) #25 - The storyline that changed the feral X-Man's life continues! Magneto, the Master of Magnetism, just sucked out all the Adamantium in Wolverine's body, leaving him a bloody, pulpy mess. First appearance of Wolverine's bone claws. Can even Wolverine's vaunted healing factor save him this time? Can Jean Grey's mutants powers keep his body in one piece long enough for it to try? Story concludes in Excalibur #(1988 1st Series) #71. 32 pages, FC NOTE: Adam Kubert jumps on board with issue joining Larry Hama on a run that will some of the finest Wolverine stories to date. In a time of Clone Sagas, Heroes Reborn, and watered down tough guys with guns comics, the Kubert/Hama run on Wolverine (along with the Age of Apocalypse storyline) kept me reading comics long enough for them to get good again. - Odinson, Lone Star Comics Archivist Cover price $3.95.
