Steve Rogers, the old version of Captain America looks at the old version of Logan and tries to calm him down. He obviously isn't having that, snikts out his claws and is immediately knocked unconscious by Cap's shield, sending him into yet another family flashback. He comes to while tied to a tree in Alberta, with Rogers asking him to give him his word to not flip out so he can take off the restraints. He does so, but as soon as he's freed, Sorrentino unleashes a massive 4 page inkspread of the fight between the three of them, cleverly forming Cap's star on one end and a Canadian maple leaf on the other. During the melee, Logan screams something about having to stop the future from happening.
Finally settled down, Cap shows him what he brought Logan out here to see - Wolverine's tomb, where almost certainly his body in THIS timeline rests. He explains that in his mind, everyone is dead - his family even killed by a gang of hulks. Hearing enough, Cap lets him go and Logan does what he does best, drifts through the Canadian wilderness. Suddenly discovered by a sentinal, he jumps up for the kill, to which Cerebra (if you've been keeping up with the Extraordinary X-Men) begs to be spared. He then sees Iceman and Storm and like I mentioned, I suppose sets up his re-upped membership to planet X...
I'm a big fan of this book. I like the abstract art and the stories compliment each other perfectly. You feel alone in this comic which is just how I think they want you to feel. The storyline is good and I'm looking forward to where it's going. 10/10
Until next time,. thanks for watching!
