As a Marvel/DC collector, in terms of graphic novels, this is at the top of my "best" list. The story: (No spoilers) Walter and Louise Simonson were at their best in terms of crafting/writing a duo-superhero drama with a western vibe. Jon J. Muth and Kent Williams as the illustrators are second to none in this genre. Their brush calligraphy style is unique in the comic book world, however, it fits this noir tone. The characters of Wolverine and Havok never looked more stylized! If you're a fan of Wolverine and the X-Men in their 1990's heyday, or if you love a brushed paint style in your graphic novels, you owe it to yourself to pick up a copy or check it out on digital. (

Collected edition of a four-issue comic miniseries from Marvel, originally published as "Havok / Wolverine: Meltdown" #1-4 in 1988. This has since been reprinted as "Wolverine Legends: Meltdown", with Havok no longer sharing top billing, but it's the same content.
