| - “PRISONER NUMBER ZERO”
Mark Millar's epic 13-issue run draws to a close, but not before we bring him back for a spectacular encore, joined by Kaare Andrews . This special 13th issue of Millar's WOLVERINE will be unlike anything you've seen from him before. A ghost story in the tradition of CREEPY and EERIE, this standalone issue is set in a World War II concentration camp and stars a feral character who looks like Wolverine, acts like Wolverine…but who is he really? The head Nazi running the camp is about to find out…or he'll die trying. Dedicated to the late, great Will Eisner, who had a hand in resolving this story.

| Synopsis
| - Poland, 1942. Major Bauman arrives at the Sobibor death camp and is the new boss there. The former boss had just committed suicide, so that’s why a void had to be filled. Upon arrival, Bauman finds a prisoner doing nothing and gets upset by it. That man… is Logan! He orders his soldiers to shoot Logan to make an example out of him for the other inmates, so they do and later burn up his body. But that very same night, Logan returns, alive and well. Bauman freaks out, and he and his soldiers shoot and torture Logan again, until they think he’s dead. But he keeps on coming back. The next day, Bauman’s mentor, General Heydrich, pays a visit. He still isn’t pleased with the camp, despite its few improvements, and wants to see a possibility being created so five thousand more prisoners can be held. Heydrich also believes that Logan can’t die, and he and the other soldiers gather around and kill Logan every single week after that, until Heydrich is murdered by the British. Bauman, in the meantime, grows insane because of this. Soldiers later inform him that a prisoner refuses to die in the gas chambers, and that he wants to have a talk with Bauman. He runs outside, and finds Logan with lots of killed soldiers around him. Bauman ties Logan up on a chair and tortures him, but he still doesn’t die. Logan doesn’t even say a word. Bauman continues kicking Logan around until he drops against a table, on which a lit candle stood. The light falls on the floor and the entire room catches on fire. A bookcase falls on Bauman, killing the man, and the fire consumes Logan. However, the very next day, he’s alive again and watches how a new boss arrives at the camp, ready for action.
