Today, during the Marvel Comics Showcase at New York Comic Con, fans in the audience were the first to see an exciting first look at the highly anticipated SABRETOOTH WAR event!

During the livestream panel, host Ryan Penagos (Marvel Creative VP) was joined by WOLVERINE writer Benjamin Percy to surprise fans with a glimpse of what’s to come in the definitive Wolverine and Sabretooth story.

Wolverine and Sabretooth have one of bloodiest feuds in all of pop culture history and this January, their rivalry reaches a brand-new peak in SABRETOOTH WAR, a ten-part epic coming to Percy’s run on WOLVERINE. SABRETOOTH WAR will begin in WOLVERINE #41 and culminate in the landmark WOLVERINE #50.

Having shepherded the character through the Krakoan age, it’s finally time for Percy to pit Wolverine against his greatest foe! Joining him for the occasion will be the award-winning author of The Changeling and The Devil in Silver and the writer behind Sabretooth’s own journey of the last few years, Victor LaValle. They’ll be teaming up with two of the industry’s hottest artists, Cory Smith and Geoff Shaw, to deliver the definitive Wolverine and Sabretooth story.

i totally forgot this was a 10 issue 'event'

wait does he have FANGs claw in his hand. Brutal.

[Uncanny X-Man]

Akihiro! Good to see some bonding moments between father and son.

i totally forgot this was a 10 issue 'event'

I forgot this was even happening.

[NewMutant]

I feel like X-Factor finally gave Daken a great look and of course they got rid it of it for this Fang stuff.

[IN-a-Synch]

Is Toothy picking his tooth with Daken's claws?????

Is Toothy picking his tooth with Daken's claws?????

Yeah it looks like it, ugh. This is gonna be brutal. Seems to be double shipping each month.

I'm glad Victor LaValle will get so many more eyes on his work.

Same. This is the event that’s getting me to pick up a Percy book again.

[The Thunderbird]

My heart sank when I saw Jean's name on a grave in the cover of February's Wolverine 44 but then I found out that Mariko Yashida is not dead. I don't know what to make of this.

[Keno]

Cory Smith is good. I am not sure what to make of this 10 issue event. It seems so ineffectual because there is no setup. So there is no hype for me here. Also that panel with Wolverine and Sabretooth is funny.

[Exodus]

As a teenager I was such a huge Sabretooth fan, today, no interest in this event whatsoever.

[Jackraow21]

This looks fun to me. I’m in.

Hope Victor takes over Wolverine after Percy too. Victor LaValle that is. Not Creed.

[MVComics]

this is going to be so dope!

[Grunty]

Pre-emptively applying the term "momentous" ("momentous- adjective = Outstanding in importance, of great consequence.") to a story not yet realeased and therefor unproven in any quality and longterm remembrance, does not bode well for it.

[BobbysWorld]

You’re trying to read into the fact that the advance marketing/promotion for an upcoming story uses hype? Like I’m not saying it will be good, especially with Percy involved but c’mon. This is basic industry ad copy. It says absolutely nothing about the actuality of the story one way or the other. What major story DOESNT have claims of momentous impact in some of its promo material? They’re not always right and they’re not always wrong it’s just….hype. It is what it is, lol.
