Sabretooth and Wolverine are the ultimate rivals.
With Logan gone- who will stop Sabretooth’s violent rampages?
How is Victor Creed affected by the loss of his oldest enemy and target of his rage?
Kyle Higgins (Nightwing, C.O.W.L.) goes inside the villain’s head in Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy #3.
“His profile definitely feels on the rise, especially with AXIS coming up. It makes exploring his reaction to Logan’s death pretty exciting. That said, I pitched working with Sabretooth for one reason:
his relationship to Logan. It’s quite fascinating to me, and took a little bit to get my head around. In a lot of ways, his entire lot in life is built on his hatred of Logan. That and his lust for blood—Logan’s, and anyone else’s. I wasn’t looking to come in and try to deconstruct their relationship, or show Victor suddenly having some new self-realized appreciation for Logan in the wake of his death. Instead, I’m approaching it as more of a breakup. Like, when somebody dumps you, and you say you’re totally fine and you don’t care, and you do things to try and prove you’re fine…but really, you’re not? Take that idea, and extrapolate it out for a bloodthirsty killer like Victor. What’s his version of “coping?” Higgins told Marvel.com.
“I think we, as writers and fans, identify with a lot of the characters in LOGAN LEGACY and how they relate to Logan. This series is a chance for them—and by proxy, us—to say goodbye. Watching how each of these characters process their loss is cathartic for everyone.”
This marks a return to Marvel for Higgins. Artist Jonathan Marks joins him for this third (of 7) chapter of Death of Wolverine: The Logan Legacy out Wednesday.
Creed is playing a role in Avengers and X-Men: AXIS. and he will be part of the next volume of Uncanny Avengers.
