Marvel is celebrating Wolverine\u2019s 50th anniversary with his \u2018most violent\u2019 story ever Marvel ComicsWolverine and Sabretooth are duking it out again. Not only is this being billed as their biggest fight ever, Marvel promises it to be one of the bloodiest. Wolverine\u2019s 50th anniversary is coming up, and Marvel\u2019s going to be celebrating with a knock-down, drag-out fight. Naturally, there\u2019s no better opponent than his old nemesis, Sabretooth. Wolverine and Sabretooth have a storied history. Whenever one is celebrating a milestone, the other likely isn\u2019t far behind to dish out some pain. This time, things are going above and beyond expectations into an all-out war. The storyline event is a ten-part epic running through the main Wolverine series. Marvel is touting the event as their ultimate showdown, and the writer promises it to be the \u201cmost violent Wolverine story in Marvel history.\u201d Wolverine and Sabretooth fight for the last time (again) \u201cSabretooth War\u201d is slated to run from January\u2019s Wolverine #41 through issue #50. The series will also be switching to a bi-monthly schedule, allowing issue #50 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Wolverine\u2019s first appearance in Incredible Hulk #181. The storyline will see Sabretooth and Wolverine cross paths in the wake of the Fall of X. Sabretooth was last seen in the mini-series Sabretooth & the Exiles, which ended with him leading an army of clones and promising a surprise for Wolverine\u2019s birthday. Speaking with Marvel, writer Benjamin Percy explained why the two were finally being allowed to cross paths after years apart. \u201cSabretooth is the definition of big bad\u2014one of the nastiest, cruelest, scariest villains in the 616 and Wolverine\u2019s greatest nemesis,\u201d Percy explained. \u201cWhich is exactly why we haven\u2019t allowed their stories to intersect\u2014during this age of Krakoa\u2014until now. The tension has built up painfully, and now these two savage titans are going to claw and slash their way into each other\u2019s lives again in what will be the most violent Wolverine story in Marvel history.\u201d That the fight should take place on Wolverine\u2019s anniversary is notable. Since their rivalry was revealed, Sabretooth has maintained a tradition of stalking Wolverine and fighting him on his birthday. Often he\u2019s used the opportunity to drive Wolverine into a rage by attacking or killing someone close to him. It is worth noting this isn\u2019t the first time the two have been billed as having their final encounter, and often they\u2019re presented as such. 1995\u2019s Wolverine #90 saw Logan infamously lobotomize Sabretooth by driving a claw into his brain, which reverted the killer into a more docile state for years. 2007\u2019s Wolverine #55 had what was billed as their last fight ever and ended with Wolverie decapitating Sabretooth. That death was undone in 2012 when it was revealed Wolverine had killed a clone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
