    Black background Steve Skroce variant cover. THE SCOOP: A bold new era for the X-Men begins! THE STORY: "Blood Debt." The next chapter in Wolverine's life starts in this double-sized extravaganza! While old friends return to Wolverine's life, some brand-new?and decidedly vicious?enemies make their move! It's been six months since the war with Apocalypse, the return of his adamantium, the taking of his free will and the heartrending sacrifice. Now, as Logan grapples with the emotional repercussions, a new evil arises that targets his very heart! Who is Lord Haan, and how might his vile bloodline consume Wolverine? Plus: What are Silver Samurai and Yukio doing back in Logan's life? THE CREATORS: Starting with this double-sized issue, Steve Skroce takes over as both writer and penciler. Steve is best known for his kinetic art on AMAZING SPIDER- MAN and GAMBIT and for his work as storyboard artist for the hit movie, The Matrix. Skroce's thoughts on Wolverine: "He's a man with a shady past that's still torn between his animal and his human sides. I want to explore that without walking too much on worn territory. I want to focus less on the one-liners and more on the quiet beats between events." Inks by Lary Stucker. Cover price $2.99. Grade: CGC 9.8 explanation of grade Condition: Used (collectible)
