Wolverine #126

Wolverine number 126 was published in June 1998 as part of the long-running Marvel Comics series. This issue serves as the second installment of the Operation: Zero Tolerance storyline, a major crossover event that saw the character Logan facing off against Bastion and his Prime Sentinels. The narrative was crafted by writer Larry Hama, a fixture of the series who defined much of the character's modern mythos, and illustrated by pencil artist Leinil Francis Yu.

The visual design of this era reflects the gritty, high-contrast aesthetic prevalent in late 1990s comic book art. Leinil Francis Yu brought a kinetic, slightly distorted style to the page that emphasized Wolverine’s feral nature during his time stripped of his adamantium skeleton. Upon its release, the issue was received as a standard piece of a larger editorial push to revitalize the X-Men line, focusing on the suspense and tactical combat sequences characteristic of Hama's tenure on the title.
