Of course, Marvel wasn’t going to wait too long to resurrect Sabretooth following his death at the end of the previous volume of Wolverine, and though the “why” and “how” of his return are still major questions, the publisher has confirmed that the villain is back for an all-out brawl that “Wolverine’s been dreading…for a century!”
Marvel’s advanced solicitation for Wolverine #11, written by Saladin Ahmed, with art by Martin Coccolo, simply and sharply proclaims “SABRETOOTH. WOLVERINE. DEATH,” while the cover for the issue features the perennial adversaries locked in combat once more.
The synopsis frames this fight as one that fans have “been waiting decades for,” but it will admittedly have to be pretty extreme to top the “Sabretooth War” arc from last year, which for many was the definitive contemporary conflict between Wolverine and Sabretooth.
Wolverine #11, Written By Saladin Ahmed; Art By Martin Coccolo; Available July 2025 From Marvel Comics
At the start of the X-Men franchise’s Krakoan Era, Sabretooth was banished into the depths of the Krakoan “Pit,” reserved for mutantkind’s worst criminals; this was done intentionally, as author Benjamin Percy explained, to save Sabretooth for a climactic battle with Wolverine down the line. Five years later, Percy was given the task of delivering this climactic battle, which also served as the final chaper of the Krakoan Era Wolverine series. This turned out to be the intense “Sabretooth War” saga.
Wolverine #11 wil be available July 23, 2025 from Marvel Comics.
