Wolverine #90

Wolverine #90, published by Marvel Comics in February 1995, arrived during a pivotal era for the X-Men franchise. This issue features the work of writer Larry Hama and artist Adam Kubert, a creative team whose collaboration defined the character's aesthetic throughout the mid-nineties. The narrative serves as a climactic moment in the 'Logan's feral transformation' arc, exploring the physical and psychological toll of Wolverine's deteriorating condition as his body struggles to adapt to the absence of his adamantium skeleton.

The visual storytelling in this issue is characterized by Kubert’s dynamic, visceral approach, which leans into the brutal nature of the protagonist’s combat style. The cover and interior art are frequently cited for their emotional weight, capturing a period of profound vulnerability for a character typically defined by his resilience. Received well by readers of the time, the issue stands as a quintessential example of the gritty, character-focused storytelling that Larry Hama championed during his long and influential tenure on the series.
