Wolverine/Gambit: Victims #2

Wolverine/Gambit: Victims #2 was published in 1995 as the second installment of a four-part prestige format limited series. Set against the backdrop of a sinister serial killer targeting mutants in London, the story was crafted by writer Jeph Loeb and illustrated by Tim Sale. This collaboration brought together two industry titans known for their noir-inspired approach to superhero narratives, focusing on the contrasting personalities of the volatile Wolverine and the charismatic Gambit.

The visual direction of this series was heavily influenced by Tim Sale’s distinctively atmospheric, shadowed art style, which prioritized mood and character tension over traditional superhero action. The series was well-regarded for its stylistic cohesion and the psychological depth brought to its two leads. As a prestige format title, it was intended to serve as a high-quality standalone narrative, distancing itself from the sprawling continuity of the concurrent X-Men monthly titles.
