It took 85 issues, but finally, in the only book that could pull it off and explain it logically, it's an all Wolverine issue. Seriously! The Exile team now consists of all Wolverines. We have Patch, Zombie Wolvie, Alber and Elsie the androids, Weapon X, James Howlett and Logan from the future when the Sentinels are running the show. And they're going after an even worse Wolverine. One that's been merged with Scarlet Warlock, Quicksilver, Mesmero and Magneto to create Brother Mutant. "A single mutant combining the powers of all 5. He was never meant to exist, and he's sworn to kill every non-mutant on earth." Well, on his earth. So the time broker sends in all these Wolverines to take him out. The problem is this isn't the first batch they've sent. So they have to fight a whole army of Wolverines that Brother Mutant has at his disposal. They're all brainwashed. But, a brainwashed Wolverine is still pretty troublesome. Logan though, convinced that he's been sent into a steaming pile of a mission, convinces the timebroker to send him after the previously disposed of Exiles team, because, they are "the best they are at what they do." Tony Bedard writes some great humor into these stories. Some of the interactions between all these characters is priceless. Also it's good to see Paul Pelletier back on pencils. Hope he sticks around for a while. The last page, Patch comes face to face with Brother Mutant. Can't wait for the next one.
