Marvel has released some preview details of its giant-sized final issue of WOLVERINE #50. This concluding chapter by Benjamin Percy and Javi Fernández will be the finale to Percy, Victor LaValle, Geoff Shaw, and Cory Smith’s 10-part “Sabretooth War” plus is meant to coincide with Wolverine’s 50th anniversary.
“Fifty issues of Wolverine is a hell of a lot to be thankful for. But the math gets hairier when I do some accounting. I’ve actually been writing Logan — in the audio drama, in X-Force and Wolverine and all the crossovers and spin-off events — for seven years, twenty episodes, and a hundred thirty-ish issues. That’s a whole lot of SNIKT. That’s a big part of my life and career, and I feel nothing but gratitude for the experience. I can’t believe I’ve been lucky enough to serve as the custodian of a character who is so important to me. Thanks, bubs, for joining the mayhem.”
If that wasn’t special enough, WOLVERINE #50 will also host a Jubilee story done by the legendary Larry Hama himself. It’ll also host a sneak peek of what’s to come for Wolverine with a preview of what’s in store in the from the Ashes era.

On closing out his run, Percy shared, “Fifty issues of Wolverine is a hell of a lot to be thankful for. But the math gets hairier when I do some accounting. I’ve actually been writing Logan — in the audio drama, in X-Force and Wolverine and all the crossovers and spin-off events — for seven years, twenty episodes, and a hundred thirty-ish issues.

I can’t believe I’ve been lucky enough to serve as the custodian of a character who is so important to me. Thanks, bubs, for joining the mayhem.”
The Sabretooth War concludes in the way it began – a violent, bloody battle – but WHO will be left standing?
