Stories

Romulus, Part 3 · 22 pages
Omega Red and Wildchild fight over the right to be the one to kill Wolverine, facilitating our heroes' escape. Wildchild loses. When Omega Red finally catches up with him again, Wolverine has recovered the Muramasa blade and runs his opponent through. Romulus shows up to take on his former foot soldier.

Publisher’s description

Deep in the heart of Russia, Wolverine drags himself one step closer to the truth about the man known only as Romulus—but the death-touch of Omega Red stands in his way! With answers finally within reach—will Logan fall victim, another casualty of the Soviet serial killer’s carbonadium tentacles?
