Marvel Comics announced the Sabretooth War, a ten-part tale coming our way in the Wolverine series by Benjamin Percy, Victor LaValle, Cory Smith, and Geoff Shaw.
Get ready for the showdown to end all showdowns — WOLVERINE VS. SABRETOOTH! It’s been years since these heavy hitters have crossed paths in the Marvel Universe, but as Krakoa falls, so rises Sabretooth–and he’s out for revenge! They threw Victor Creed in the Pit, but he’s free and, wielding an army of Sabretooths, will prove once and for all why he is Logan’s ultimate nemesis.
“Sabretooth is the definition of big bad — one of the nastiest, cruelest, scariest villains in the 616 and Wolverine’s greatest nemesis,” Percy explained in a press release. “Which is exactly why we haven’t allowed their stories to intersect — during this age of Krakoa — until now. The tension has built up painfully, and now these two savage titans are going to claw and slash their way into each other’s lives again in what will be the most violent Wolverine story in Marvel history.”
“I’m geeked I get to continue the story of Sabretooth that I began in that first mini-series back in 2021,” LaValle added in the same press release from Marvel Comcis. “Even more thrilled to tell it in tandem with my friend Ben Percy, who knows how to thrill and terrify with the best of them. We plan to make this a visceral story of two lifelong enemies coming to their most violent ends and I’m excited to get the blood flowing.”
Wolverine will be shipping bi-monthly, with Wolverine #41 landing in stores on January 10, 2024 and Wolverine #42 landing on January 31, 2024.
