Wolverine / Gambit: Victims

In this 1997 Marvel one-shot, two of the X-Men's most dangerous loners—Wolverine and Gambit—are forced into an uneasy alliance when a mysterious killer targets mutants in New Orleans. Written by Jeph Loeb with art by Tim Sale, the story leans into the atmospheric, noir-tinged style the duo would become known for. Though a single issue, Victims showcases the tense chemistry between the feral berserker and the charming Cajun thief, making it a memorable character-driven thriller from the team's creative peak.
