  • FROM THE STARS COMES DEATH! An alien ship! A dying passenger!
  • Two words uttered that will forever change WOLVERINE's life - starting a non-stop race against a deadly transformative disease, a battle in a quarantined city and a mysterious villain with a target on her head.

The Mattina 1:500 copies of #19 are pretty pricey with CGC or CBCS 9.8 graded copies going for over $1,000 in the summer of 2017. At that time CGC was reporting only 8 "Mattina Sketch Cover" variants in their census with 6 graded at 9.8 and 2 at 9.6 (two were signed on Signature Series, one in each of the two grades).
