WOLVERINE: ORIGINS: AGAIN: AWESOME

wolverine would invariably lead to ninjas even if he was carrying a kitten or a helium balloon or a doll.

It CAN'T be worse that Wolverine: Teh End. Nothing can.

In real life, samurai wore their katanas with the curved side facing up. What a poser.

Don't you mean YOU gave it a good review at that site? Gotta love the completely unsubtle self-promotion.

Summary: We open on a stand off between Logan/James Howlett/Wolverine/Weapon X, and Frank Simpson a.k.a Nuke. Wolverine gives him the chance to surrender but no, Nuke don't know nothin bout dyin, all he knows is killin. we immediately flash back to Frank as a young boy, with a sad look on his face and his arm and shirt covered in red. Kool-Aid though not blood. Still his momma isn't happy and she is very vocal about it. Apparently Frank has had some problems at school, and he did something to a doctor, but the parents don't have time to deal with it. They are off leaving young (Charlie?) in the capable and creepy hands of Betsy the homicidal baby sitter. She assures Young Nuke that life would be better for everyone if his mother was gone forever. Leaving him to the conclusion that he should take matters into his own hands. Back in the present Logan stalls till Nuke runs out of bullets and then tries once more to talk to the man. When that doesn't work, the two go at it once more and Logan cuts off his robotic legs. Nuke makes a last ditch effort to launch a rocket and Logan stops him. The rocket blows up in his robotic face and takes skin off his robotic hand. Nuke Blames Betsy for it and back in 1953 Betsy coyly seduces Nuke's father as he is taking her home, but then backs off and is upset when Mr. police man comes knocking. The police man blows Betsy's brains against the passenger window and then convinces Nukes father that he is going to take the blame. He gives him back the gun and tells him to make the last bullet count. After making sure the loose ends are tied up, Logan proceeds to the pick up point. At the Simpson house he finds Young Nuke waiting for him with his mother lying at the bottom of the stairs in a broken heap. At the U.S. embassy in Chili, a man in black orders a scientist to power down Nuke assuring the man that Wolverine won't kill Nuke and that this is all Part of the plan. At the White house the president calls Trevor into the oval office and asks what the hell is going on. Trevor assures him that putting him in the field is all part of the plan, and that Wolverine will never see it coming. As Logan prepares to deliver the fatal blow, he is surprised and deflected, even though he has had it coming for a long time. At least according to Captain America.

Review Much better story, lots of surprises and a kick ass ending. Can we forget the first two issues exist and pretend this is issue #1? Way took a cue from shows like lost and prison break again but this time for the betterment of the series. Showing us Frank/Nuke/Charlie?'s twisted child hood and Wolverine's involvement in it is a great plot twist. The art still sucks. Sorry but i just don't like Dillon's work. How about the get the guy who does the cover's to do the interior as well. Nice improvement Way.

Art (pencil and color): 3. still crap but the story was great.

Story Great use of the flash back plot device Wolverine is as old as Angel on Buffy if not older, and we all know how great the Angel flash backs were. 8.5

Monies worth: I'm going to say its worth the cover price and will keep me coming back for the fourth

Also: "exceptable" could possibly be a word, but, again, not as you're using it. And periods are used to separate sentences.

I honestly wish you didn't keep making yourself such an easy target, dude.
