Wolverine #62 - Marvel


This was an interesting chapter in Logan's life. He's out there hunting for Mystique right now. After what she did in the Mutant Messiah story-line, Scott's decided that she's to much of a risk to be left on the board running amok. But honestly even if he hadn't of asked Logan to take care of it, he probably would've gotten around to it, sooner or later, anyways. This story actually takes place right before X-Force #1. He has the team together, but I don't think they've left for their first mission yet. And he's decided he wants to take care of this first . . personally. But, at the same time that this story is playing out, Wolverine's also thinking about the first time he met Mystique, back in 1921 in the Sondran desert, in Mexico. They were both captured by the local militia, and neither knew of the other's abilities. Of course they get free, and they begin wandering the desert together, heading towards Kansas City. Or the nearest bar. Whichever comes first. I'm not sure what that story has to do with the present one, but I'm sure it's all going to fit together. Right now though, Wolverine is in Afghanistan looking for Mystique's blood. This one is written by Jason Aaron. He's the same one who's writing the current Ghost Rider. I like the way he's handling this story so far. Ron Garney is the artist. I'm not a huge fan of his, but his style lends itself well to this character. He ends up giving the book the perfect feel. This is going to be a 4 issue story-line, so we still have a lot more to go.
