Wolverine Origins #20 - Marvel

Well, we have a couple of problems here. I'm sorry. I don't mean we have a couple problems with the book. I mean we . . as in Wolverine, Cap and Bucky . . . have a couple of problems here. Last issue ended with Logan finding Baron Strucker. But then, unfortunately, he found out that his handlers, especially Seraph, needed Strucker. So they were protecting him. Logan's mission has now changed. He was to get Strucker out safely. Which meant that he was going to have to betray the man that he respected the most, Captain America. Basically he has to call on a bigger "bad-guy", Baron Zemo, to help get the job done. Also, Bucky seems to be a little craftier than his little leotard type outfit lets on. While Logan is talking to Strucker, Bucky is out in the hallway, unconscious. Well . . . supposedly. He realized that he'd learn more if he played possum rather than fighting. So he hears, I believe, most of their conversation. So he knows that Logan's going to have to betray their mission. He tries to warn Cap several times, but there was always something that came up. So Cap doesn't realize what's going on until Zemo's Messer-Schmitts shoots Caps transport out of the sky. Luckily though, after Cap beat him down, Logan didn't remember any of the event. I'm sure he was reprogrammed after that. But . . now he does remember. What he's going to do about it . . . . we just don't know yet. But in the epilogue, we find out that someone wants Logan taken out. They want it bad enough that they're willing to pay $20 million to do so. And they're willing to hire Deadpool for the task. I know I say this month after month, but I really like the job that Daniel Way and Steve Dillon are doing with this book. I think I really like this one better than his own title, because much of Logan's past is unfolding in these pages. And the part that I think that Daniel is doing the best is . . . he's putting in a lot of details. It would be easy to glide over these stories. Do the broad brush-strokes, and go with that. But Daniel is making them believable. Of course we're going to be interested . . it's Logan after all. But, I think, he's showing that a lot of the times, Logan wasn't really the main story. As in this one. The main story is Cap and Bucky. But, Logan was involved, and his involvement changed the outcome. And that, really, is what his legacy is. Fantastic book and series.
