Variant Cover by MARKO DJURDJEVIC

The second phase of the war that began in "Messiah Complex" continues! There’s nothing better than catching up with an old war buddy, especially after the years have really started to pile up.  You can rummage through the bad old days, revel in the glory days, and down quite a few beers on the back porch while the sun slips down over the horizon.  But not so for Cable. Because his old war buddy has shown up with news that everyone he knows or cares about is dead.  The battles are over, and they’re the only ones left on the losing side. If that weren’t enough, Bishop, their former ally, is just one bullet away from achieving his
objective: killing the baby, and erasing the last shred of hope for mutantkind.  All of the battles Cable has won mean nothing.  Because suddenly, all of these years later, he’s in real danger of losing the war.

MARK MILLAR and STEVE MCNIVEN—who last teamed for the monumental CIVIL WAR—bring us the most important WOLVERINE story of the 21st Century. Nobody knows what happened on the night the heroes fell. All we know is that they disappeared and evil triumphed and the bad guys have been calling the shots ever since. What happened to Wolverine is the biggest mystery of all. For 50 years, no one has heard hide nor hair from him…and in his place stands an old man called Logan. A man concerned only about his family. A man pushed to the brink by the HULK GANG. A man forced to help an old friend—the blind archer, HAWKEYE—to drive three thousand miles to secure his family’s safety. Get ready for the ride of your life, Logan.
