A police office building in Leningrad. An investigator is handed a case file. A second investigator looks up from his paper to see his partner adding a photo to a cork board. Examining the file, the first investigator appears deep in thought, while his partner watches on. A captain comes out of his office and calls the second investigator in to talk. The second investigator returns to his office, lighting a cigarette, to find his partner gone. Cut to his partner sitting in a car looking a tag with red star on it in and small bag. He drives away.

Scarlet Spider kicks Beast across a room, smashing into Iceman. Wolverine and Marvel Girl face off against Scarlett Spider and a second mysterious antagonist. Wolverine, full or fury launches at Scarlett Spider. Wolverine slashes with his claws, but Scarlet Spider counters with a punch, drawing blood from Wolverines mouth. Scarlet Spider launches his webbing at Wolverine, who slashes it, falling into a rage. Scarlet Spider dodges Wolverines attacks, and throughs Wolverine into a wall. Wolverine slashes Scarlet Spider with his claws. Scarlet Spider responds by popping a bone spike from his wrist.. Scarlet Spider launches as Wolverine, striking him in the chest with his bone spike. As he withdraws the spike, blood gushes from the wound and Wolverine falls to the ground as the other X-Men watch on in horror.

Been a while, so here’s a recent cover I inked over @skootsart.bsky.social pencils for a book called Halloween Reborn. Got a few more covers in the can just waiting to be shared.
