Logan's Ultimate Trial: Wolverine #22 Puts Claws and Healing Factor on the Line
Wolverine faces his most brutal trial yet in the upcoming Wolverine #22. Logan’s signature adamantium claws are shattered. His very bones are snapped down to nubs. Even worse, his legendary healing factor is compromised.
Marvel promises a story where the iconic mutant is truly "beaten down to the bone." Fans know Wolverine is dangerous when cornered, but how does he fight when his primary weapons are gone and his body can't keep up? This issue sees Logan struggling, even needing help from Nightcrawler just to move through a hospital. Dr. Reyes examines him at the Mother of Mercy Hospital, hinting at the severity of his injuries.
This is a critical moment for the hero. The synopsis teases if Wolverine will even remain a mutant by the end. Writer Saladin Ahmed and artist Julius Ohta are pushing Logan to his absolute limits. Dan Panosian provides the cover art for this high-stakes issue, hitting stores this Wednesday, June 24th.
“Wolverine's adamantium claws are shattered, his bones snapped to nubs, making this his most brutalized, beat-up trial yet.”
Catzye Take
This kind of "Wolverine at his weakest" story is a classic trope, but always delivers high stakes. Fans will be on the edge of their seats to see how Logan claws his way back, or if he even can. It’s a bold move to challenge his very essence as a mutant.
