FIRST LOOK: WOLVERINE #47
Wolverine #47 will arrive in stores on Oct. 11 from Marvel Comics. The issue is written by Marc Guggenheim, with art by Humberto Ramos and a cover by Kaare Andrews.
Here's how Marvel describes the issue:
"On his Civil War 'Vendetta,' Wolverine has gone toe-to-toe with the man responsible for the Stamford disaster Nitro, an Atlantean Death-Squad, Namor the Sub-Mariner, and Damage Control. In Wolverine #47, things don't get any easier for Logan as the man with the power of a thousand exploding suns, the Sentry, stands in his way.
"In the conclusion to the Civil War tie-in 'Vendetta,' Wolverine finds himself on the wrong end of a Damage Control clean-up crew. But what happens next leads Logan 30 thousand feet in the air onto the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier., with the elite Super Human Restraint Unit ready and waiting to put him down.
"Then, the Golden Guardian of Good, who could quite possibly be the most powerful super hero in the Marvel Universe, is brought in to make sure Logan stays down. In a fight fit for a main-event, Wolverine pits his claws against the raw power of the Sentry.
"With the odds stacked against him, can Logan fulfill his Civil War Vendetta? Better yet, will Logan be able to walk away from a fight that has already pushed his healing factor to the limit?"
Wolverine #47 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
