Left without his mutant healing factor, his enemies now close in for the kill - and the Wolverine faces his greatest battle alone. A battle he will not return from. After a century of being the best there is at what he does, the day has arrived where his best will not be good enough.

With no X-Men or Avengers to help him, he'll square off against Lady Deathstrike, Sabretooth and more of his deadliest enemies! Each one inching him one step closer to death than the last. But one foe in particular is prepared to strike the final blow. An old enemy with the deepest of ties to Wolverine's past has returned. Lurking in the shadows, their master plan to end the Wolverine has been set in motion - and there's no stopping it!
