Wolverine Origins #3 - Marvel

When this book started out a couple of months ago, I thought it was going to be some more about the origin of Wolverine. Now, it appears to me that it is about the origin of the characters Wolverine had a direct involvement in. This story arc is about Nuke, Frank Simpson. Mercenary and all around bad-ass. This issue in particular delves deep into his past, all the way to childhood actually. He's seems to have been headed down this road for a long time. I'm not exactly what Wolverine's intentions are. Other than the obvious of putting Nuke down. But I don't really understand why. I guess maybe he's feeling guilty for playing such a large role in his developement. But, I'm not sure, it's not fully explained or understood. But at the end of the story, the President, who knows that Nuke has been put out in the field, has sent Captain American to put Wolverine down. So that's where the next book picks up. It should be the battle royale. I'm not a huge Steve Dillon fan, but his artwork fits the style of this book very well. He's inking his own work, so maybe that's why it's looks better than what I'm normally used to seeing. Danial Way is doing well on the writing chores. My only complaint is, as I said before, we don't really understand why Wolverine is doing what he's doing. We got some great background on Nuke. And I completely understand Wolverine's involvement in his development, but I don't get why he has decided to go after him now. But, maybe that's the plan. Maybe we won't find out for the next issue or two. Regardless though, it is still a good story. I would definitely recommend it. The alternate covers done by Joe Quesada are pretty good too.
