X DEATHS OF WOLVERINE Vol 1 #5 Cover by Ryan Stegman (Asgardian Wolverine)

From Ryan Stegman's Instagram:

The concept of this cover was that marvel asked me to draw a futuristic Wolverine.

I have a pitch for a story for marvel that I haven’t had a ton of time to pursue so I drew it here. The general idea is that Wolverine dies at the beginning of the story. Then the Norns at the base Yggdrasil in Asgard get an urgent warning that they must resurrect this new spirit. But they look at this Logan character’s history and are like, “why this guy? From all we can tell he’s a bad guy”. But the entity that brings him insists that they must because he plays a huge role in the salvation of the entire multiverse. They finally agree to resurrect him in A bubble in Asgard in which they will put him through trials of heroism in order to prove he is worthy of resurrection. Will he make it? Well, I guess if I ever make the book we will find out 😂
