Joe Madureira posted this to his Facebook the other day saying "The most fun part of drawing Wolverine for me is putting the hair on his arms. Weird?" For those of you who didn't know, the next Avenging Spider-Man arc drawn by Joe Mad will co-star Wolverine and a certain Greek assassin (I'm assuming it's Elektra). Hopefully Marvel will preview the cover art soon.

Hopefully they will post the cover soon. Stay tuned!! I'll update as soon as the news becomes available!
