Wolverine #57 - Marvel


Well things are going to get interesting for Wolverine now. Howard Chaykin has come on board as the penciller. For a while anyways. He usually sticks around for about 6 months to a year. We'll see how long he goes here. Anyways, Logan is having flashbacks of World War I. I'm not really sure why, other than he's currently in a new war zone . . . Iraq. And there's a new terrorist organization that wants to make it's rep by taking out Wolverine. It's not AIM, or Hydra or the Hand. No this is a new one called Scimitar. Named after the curved sword, used by the Turks. It's also their symbol. A yellow circle with the sword in the middle. So they set up this elaborate plan to ambush him. Actually they get him to come to them. They have him convinced that they're going to take out Tony Stark aboard a heli-carrier, so he flies up to stop them. Only it's not really a heli-carrier, and it's not really Tony Stark. It's amazing what they can do with those image inducers now a days. And once he's on board, they have some one in some adamantium Kevlar ready and waiting for him. They fight and eventually the guy kills Amir, the Atlantean Covert operative that he's been hanging out with lately. This sends him in to one of his primal rages. But that's what the guy wants. He wants Logan to get close enough to him that he can drop a bomb down his throat and detonate it. But they know he's going to heal. By the time SHIELD gets there, the ship they were on has crashed, and Logan's body has really almost completely healed up. The problem? "For some reason . . Wolverine's consciousness didn't regenerate as it usually does. For all intents and purposes . . . he's brain dead!" To be continued . . . . . . .
