Sparks Fly in Laura Kinney: Wolverine #3

Laura’s recent explosion wasn’t just metaphorical. As she awakens on the couch of a former assassin-turned-vigilante, her world is jumbled. Luckily, she’s not the kind to just sit and meditate. She overhears a conversation about a fellow mutant who needs help. Things seem tense, but when you can survive a major detonation and eavesdrop on both sides of a phone call, arguing isn’t necessary.

Elektra Daredevil makes a guest appearance in this captivating tale by writer Erica Schultz, masterfully illustrated by artist Giada Belviso and colored by Rachelle Rosenberg. Every panel is an adrenaline rush, inviting readers into the chaos that envelops Laura’s life.

A Mission with High Stakes

Laura and Elektra have a daring plan: infiltrate a hospital to reach a kid whose mutant power is self-detonation. It’s a high-risk mission, given the lack of backup and a solid strategy. As they stealthily make their entrance, one can’t help but wonder, "What’s the worst that could happen?"

Both women, blessed with honed instincts, could overcome a small army. However, approaching a human bomb unannounced poses risks. A misstep might trigger a reaction, raising the stakes in this already intense scenario.
