This cover IS Wolverine

This cover struck me hard when I saw it....like the scene in the X2 movie when the soldiers attack the school and Wolverine is protecting the kids. He's this brutal, hardcore, never say die, tough as hell, mean sonunabitch...but at his core, when you strip away all the shades of gray, he is a PROTECTOR. He is simply good.

When well written and not just relied on for the badass gimmick, he's still one of the best characters in comics.

Special extra-sized issue! Deep in the heart of war-torn Africa, Logan must escape from an army of savage killers -- with a baby strapped to his chest! The infant daughter of an overthrown monarch is the only hope for a country’s future, and the conquering warlord is determined to see her dead. Can Wolverine get her to the border alive? Or will his greatest failure doom an entire nation? Written by guest-writer Stuart Moore (LEGION OF SUPERHEROES) with art by C.P. Smith.

It is a great cover, and Kel, you nailed the essence of Wolverine perfectly. He really can be a great character if written correctly. I still like him.

Dang! I agree. Wolverine = so hot! He embodies what an interesting character should be about.

Can't wait for the movie.
