The mutant once known as Wolverine carves his way into the Cellar - the world's most fortified prison, determined to find someone. As he leaps through the doors, the guards shoot him. Reminding them that they've made a big mistake, they refer to him by his old name and he carves through their armor. They point him in the right direction as one of the guards ask just what's in the lower levels and he gets his answer... the really scary ones. The ones that never get out.
It was only nine days prior that Logan asked Illyana Rasputin to help him. He needs to go back to the future, back to the Wastelands. She asks if it's because of the Hulk baby and he tells her that would be the reason. He has to stop what the baby can become. She tells him that there's no guarantee that the future he came from is even like that anymore. Certain events may have altered it. It's a risk he's willing to take but one that she is not. She tells him no.
Back in the present, he continues to slash his way further and further down. Everything is going fine until he runs into Miles Morales - the new Spider-Man. Logan tells him to back off. He won't. They go round and round until he sees the claws. Flashback to meetings with Beast, Shaman, Cable, Wiccan, Dr Doom, Scarlet Witch, and Black Panther and they all tell him no . Finally, Dr Strange at least entertains the conversation but only to really tell him why he can't do it.
The issue wraps back in the cellar, with him and Spidey going pound for pound until he's able to get the upper hand. Freeing scores of low level criminals, Spider-Man is left with his hands full. Logan however is able to escape. Down at the bottom level, he finds who he was looking for. Asmodeus - the scourge of Satan, the slayer of angels is just that man. Logan pops out his claws for an offer he won't be able to refuse and with that, we're left to be continued.
Seeing that Andrea Sorrentino is done with this series (except for the covers) is a major downer. I don't know who this guest penciler is but it's a drag and immediately halfs where this series is gonna be able to take me. I know there's a major teaser for issue 21 coming up, and maybe that's enough to keep me hanging on, but this book as taken a hit. Story wise it's a little meh. Artwise it's a big meh. I'll give it a 6/10 with the hopes it returns to it's glory days.
