I already love this book, but now . . . with Howard Chaykin doing the pencils . . . . WOW! It's incredible. Last issue Logan was killed. While fighting the Scimitar, his girlfriend Amir was killed, and they shoved a bomb down Logan's throat and detonated it. I know, you're saying "Logan's been killed before." Come to find out, something we didn't know, back during WWI Logan was on a battlefield, and he ended up being the only survivor. He tried to get out of the area, because of all the Mustard gas, but there was this guy waiting on the outskirts. He had a sword in his had, and just stared Logan down, not saying a word. It ends up, this guy goes by Lazaer, plus some other names. But who he really is . . . . is Azrael, the angel of death. They fought, and during that battle, Logan took his sword from him . . . . which had never ever been done . . . and beat him. Since Logan wasn't dead at the time, Azrael made a bargain with him, whenever Logan dies he has the opportunity to fight Azrael. If he wins, life or death is his choice. If he looses, he goes to Purgatory. Since he just lost Amir, shortly before he was killed, he didn't have as much drive to return to the living. So Azrael beat him. That's why his body was taken back to SHIELD, fully functioning, except . . . no brain activity. Dr. Strange comes up to examine him, and determines that his soul is missing. So now, he's traveled to Purgatory to explain to Logan what's going on, and get him back to his body. The Doc tells him " . . I've spent the 3 weeks since the death of your physical body researching. You've been dead for 6 weeks. After my research uncovered the truth, I spent 3 more weeks meditating in anticipation of freeing your soul." So I'm wondering, in order to get out of Purgatory, is he going to have to fight Azrael again? There's also 2 fantastic Arthur Suydam covers to this issue. Just when you think this book can't get any better . . . what does it do?
