We learn some more about Daken, Wolverine's son, this issue. Specifically that Cyber had something to do with raising him. Either in tutelage or training, he was somehow involved in making him the man that he is today. And that's someone who could take out Wolverine, without even breathing heavy. But now he has to fight Cyber. Who, not only is stronger that him, but is also encased in an impenetrable carbonadium exoskeleton. But he still manages to get a few good licks in. Then for some reason, when Cyber has Daken on the ropes, Wolverine jumps in and tries to hold Cyber down so Daken can finish him. But rather than prolong the fight, Daken just takes off. Leaving Wolverine and Cyber to duke it out. But, what Wolverine didn't know, and Cyber didn't expect, was for his bad heart to catch up to him. He's literally beating the snot out of Wolvie, when all of the sudden he starts clutching his chest. Wolverine is ready to kill him, but then he remembers what Cyber said a little while ago, "You were my best student. I found him once, I can find him again." So he ties Cyber up, and tells him he wants to hear the story from the beginning. Basically, he started in Sioux City Iowa, 1912. He was a Pinkerton Agent, but was arrested and was standing trial for, " . . . committing atrocities against man, woman and child . . . frankly, too heinous for me to recount." Long story short, he ends up killing everyone in the courthouse, and Sabretooth, dressed up as a guard, helps him escape. He drives him right to Canada, and what I assume is the very beginning of Weapon X. But he can't tell him anything more, because he's having a hard time breathing. So now Wolverine has to take him to get some medical attention. Cool story. Lots of information. And Steve Dillon and Daniel Way are doing a fantastic job, creatively. I'm glad I don't have to buy 2 covers every month, any more.
