Wolverine (2020) #46
Wolverine is thrust into chaos as Sabretooth leads a savage army of clones—each one a variant of himself—known as the “Sabreteeth.” The clones are bred for brutality, and their coordinated attack destabilizes not just Wolverine but the Krakoan infrastructure. Meanwhile, X-Force scrambles to organize a defense, but tensions rise among its members, particularly over the ethics of Krakoan resurrection and clone warfare. Quentin Quire reappears in bizarre fashion—his head, severed yet still animated and psychically potent, becomes an unlikely asset. The issue sets the stage for a clash of identities and loyalties in a world rapidly spinning out of control.
Wolverine (2020) #47
The Sabreteeth begin their full-on assault, targeting mutant strongholds across Krakoa and drawing attention from mutant outposts worldwide. Wolverine, fighting alongside a newly assembled “Exiles” team composed of battle-hardened X-Men, starts to see the toll this war is taking on their ideals. Quentin’s floating head adds sharp-edged comic relief while offering strategic insights, demonstrating how even the absurd can be powerful in war. Wolverine’s brutal tactics highlight how little remains of the moral high ground once held by Krakoa’s founders. As the island’s defense systems buckle, it becomes clear that this is not just a battle for survival—but for identity.
Wolverine (2020) #48
The tide begins to turn as Wolverine and the Exiles launch a daring counteroffensive deep within the clone facility producing the Sabreteeth. Each Sabretooth clone seems to reflect a distorted fragment of the original’s psyche—rage, cruelty, cunning—forcing Logan to confront different facets of his own nature. Forge and Sage struggle to shut down the facility’s biotech infrastructure while Wolverine wrestles with whether to spare a clone showing signs of sentience. The issue walks a moral tightrope, asking whether a clone deserves the same rights as the original. Orchis looms in the background, subtly manipulating the board as mutants exhaust their resources.
Wolverine (2020) #49
With Krakoa under siege and the clone factory in ruins, Sabretooth initiates a last stand. Wolverine and Sabretooth face off in one final, vicious duel—more personal than strategic, more primal than political. The Exiles are fractured by internal conflict, with some questioning the cost of Krakoa’s dream, while others refuse to abandon it. Quentin, even as a disembodied head, takes charge in a pivotal psychic moment, tipping the scale by rallying remaining forces through a shared mental projection. As the dust settles, it becomes clear that Krakoa has been mortally wounded—not just physically, but spiritually.
Wolverine (2020) #50
The final issue closes the curtain not just on Wolverine’s solo series, but on the Krakoan era as a whole. Orchis delivers the killing blow to the mutant nation, dismantling its gates and scattering survivors. Wolverine, bloodied and weathered, stands amid the ruins as old allies and enemies vanish into the wind. The Exiles disband, their mission fulfilled but their legacy uncertain. In a somber final scene, Logan buries one of the Sabreteeth who showed mercy—marking not just the end of a war, but the death of an ideal.
Thematic Exploration
Issues #46–50 serve as a brutal elegy for Krakoa, dissecting themes of identity, legacy, and the ethical boundaries of power. Wolverine’s battle against the Sabreteeth mirrors his own lifelong struggle with rage, redemption, and what it means to be more than the weapon others see him as. The absurdity of Quentin’s sentient head underscores the strange, flexible nature of mutant storytelling, where even dismemberment doesn’t halt meaning or growth. Above all, the arc questions the price of utopia—suggesting that when ideals become institutions, they are as vulnerable to rot as any body. In the end, Wolverine doesn't just survive the fall of Krakoa—he carries its memory in every scar.
