Laura Kinney: Wolverine Vol. 1 - One-Mutant Army

Laura Kinney - once known as X-23, now inheritor of the mantle of Wolverine - takes the fight to those who stand as enemies to mutantkind!

Eisner Award nominated writer Erica Shultz (Moon Knight, Amazing Spider-Man, Daredevil) brings Laura Kinney from Ultimate Assasin to Ultimate Mutant Protector!

                   THE BEST THERE IS AT WHAT SHE DOES!

Laura Kinney was bred to be the ultimate assassin as X-23. She’s long left that life behind — but as she encounters mutants being forced to use their powers against their will, this Wolverine takes it upon herself to right these wrongs no matter who stands in her way! And that includes Daredevil, the Woman Without Fear!

With antimutant hatred at an all-time high, Laura must sniff out a terrorist plot before it leads to human deaths — and mutants taking the blame! If Wolverine and Daredevil can’t quell the unrest in the city, an even more explosive result may derail mutant-human relations forever!

Plus: When Bucky Barnes needs to track down a renegade scientist, who better to help than Wolverine?!
