Old Man Logan #5

   Logan is back with the X-Men, but no sooner has he arrived to help out, he tells Storm (whom should be pretty used to this by now) that he needs to attend to some personal situations. She gives him a tiny cerebro computer in case he ever needs to get in touch, and the man formally known as Wolverine rides north.
   Up in the northern parts of Alaska, there's a road that only opens 3 months out of the year, which is perfectly onninous and mysterious for a brooder like Logan. Through flashbacks, we not only see him try to kill himself wearing his signature costume; we also see him snooping around the Weapon X facility, encountering his wife Maureen for the first time, as well as the introduction of the folks that will eventually murder her - the Jeb gang.
   Back in the present, he meets his wife as a child feeding a stray wolf. He talks with her and decides he will protect her, keeping her from a life where although they could never be married, he could at least make sure she's never hurt. The issue wraps up however with a cameo determined to make sure he doesn't get the opportunity - the evil Reavers... Lady Deathstrike and a bunch of other baddies I can't remember the names of - lie in wait after killing Maureen's dog, wondering if Wolverine is somehow back from the dead.
   Great issue as usual from this series. I love the writing, I love the stories, and I really like the art. Hopefully they can keep it up because I really like where it's going. I give it a 10/10.

Until next time, thanks for reading!
