Wolverine and Sabretooth have one of bloodiest feuds in all of pop culture history and this January, their rivalry reaches a brand new peak in "Sabretooth War," a ten-part epic coming to Benjamin Percy's run on Wolverine.
The story will begin in Wolverine #41 and culminates in the landmark Wolverine #50. Having shepherded Logan through the Krakoan age, it's time for Percy to pit Wolverine against his greatest foe. Joining him for the occasion will be the award-winning author of The Changeling (and the writer responsible for Sabretooth's own recent adventures), Victor LaValle.
They'll be teaming up with two of the industry's hottest artists, Cory Smith and Geoff Shaw, to deliver what promises to be an epic Wolverine and Sabretooth story.
According to Marvel Comics, the story will not only explore the pair's current Fall of X status quo but also shed new light on their dark history with shocking revelations behind their undying hatred for each other. It's a war decades in the making and it kicks off when Sabretooth revives a deadly tradition - with some of Logan's loved ones in the crossfire. Only this time, he has an entire army behind him.
It's been years since these heavy hitters have crossed paths in the Marvel Universe, but as Krakoa falls, so rises Sabretooth...and he’s out for revenge! They threw Victor Creed in the Pit, but he's free and, wielding an army of Sabretooths, will prove once and for all why he is Logan's ultimate nemesis.
"Sabretooth is the definition of big bad; one of the nastiest, cruelest, scariest villains in the 616 and Wolverine's greatest nemesis," Percy says. "Which is exactly why we haven't allowed their stories to intersect - during this age of Krakoa - until now."
"The tension has built up painfully, and now these two savage titans are going to claw and slash their way into each other's lives again in what will be the most violent Wolverine story in Marvel history."
LaValle adds, "I’m geeked I get to continue the story of Sabretooth that I began in that first mini-series back in 2021. Even more thrilled to tell it in tandem with my friend Ben Percy, who knows how to thrill and terrify with the best of them."
"We plan to make this a visceral story of two lifelong enemies coming to their most violent ends and I’m excited to get the blood flowing."
