The devastating aftermath of Wolverine’s death – and his remarkable return from the grave! Logan is dead – but what will happen to his mortal remains, encased in adamantium? The battle for control of this valuable artifact has begun – with Mystique, Mister Sinister, Daken, X-23, Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike among the players in this deadly game! But just as the X-Men finally come to terms with Wolverine’s death, a shocking revelation reopens old wounds – and an epic quest begins across the Marvel Universe. But who will solve the puzzle first? Will it be Daredevil, Misty Knight and their crack squad of investigators? Or Logan’s fellow New Avengers: Iron Man, Spider-Man, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage? The upshot is that Logan is alive! But how? Why? And how has this chilling experience changed him? Wolverine awakens in a destroyed lab, his memories fragmented, his claws burning hot and his identity in doubt. Can he handle the truth of what he’s done? Now that Logan has risen, how far can he fall? And does he have… an Infinity Stone?!

Brian Michael Bendis’ entire saga of the Uncanny X-Men In the wake of the Phoenix event and Professor X’s death, what are Cyclops and his outlaw X-Men: visionary revolutionaries or dangerous terrorists? Whatever the truth, Cyclops, Emma Frost, Magneto and Magik are gathering new mutants and redefining the name “Uncanny X-Men.” But they face harsh challenges: Robotic Sentinels hunt mutants once again, there’s a mole on Cyclops’ squad and a villain is secretly posing as their former ally! As a new team of students forms, a weakened Magneto must prove he’s still the Master of Magnetism, and Magik faces the evil Dormammu! But while the original X-Men from the past chart their own new path in the present, what happens when the X-Men of the future arrive with a dire warning? Plus: Xavier’s last will and testament! The X-Men vs. S.H.I.E.L.D.! And Scott Summers driven ever closer to the precipice of disaster!
