Wolverine #55 - Marvel

This issue we learn more about the guy we found out about in the Wolverine Origins Annual. Specifically . . Romulus. Let me rephrase that . . . we don't really learn anything about him . . . but . . Wolverine learns that he's real . . . and he's still around. The Lupine story, that Jeph Loeb and Simone Bianchi did in the last few issues, is directly related to all of this business. Somehow? WildChild tells Logan this issue that Romulus was the first. So whether he was the first genetic experiment, or the first mutant, or the first lupine . . . the list is endless . . . we don't really know yet. In fact, if anything, after this issue we really have more questions than answers. It's like that old saying, "You don't know what you don't know." In a nutshell . . that's what's happening here. This Romulus is shrouded in mystery. Hell . . we didn't even know he existed until about 2 months ago. So basically, Logan always thought that everything started with Weapon X. But, it appears that whatever is really going on, started a long time before that. Maybe Weapon X just got lucky in finding some of these Lupine creatures . . . . Sabretooth . . . Wolverine . . . WildChild. They seem to have gotten their hands on quite a few of them. Especially considering no one else made the connection between them until now. But anyways Logan kills Sabretooth this issue. Yes . . you heard me right. He got the Muramasa Blade from Scott, whom he entrusted with it, and went after Creed. Basically the blade inhibits their healing factors. He starts out cutting off Creed's arm. When it won't go back on, he knows he's f@#&ed. Logan tries to reason with him, but Creed just tells him to do it. So . . he cuts off his head. That's when WildChild and Romulus show up. Well . . he doesn't really see Romulus . . but he knows he's there. I have a feeling that this development will be carried on for quite a while to come. I mean . . Wolverine's been around for what? 30 some years. And we've learned more about him in the last 4 or 5 than we have in the whole time he's been on the scene. So do you think they're going to wrap up this story anytime soon? I seriously doubt it. But, I guess, now he's got a new thing to focus on. And we've got a new mystery. "The X-men! Where stories NEVER end!"
