I thought this was a fantastic issue. I think Duane Swierczynski is really doing a great job in the recent books that he's done. His story here is definitely no exception. But the really star of this book was Mike Deodato Jr's compelling artwork. Every page of this book was a piece of art. The whole issue was exceptional. It's a rather ironic tale as the villain of the story turns out to be the victim of some serious violence. Basically, in a little town in New Mexico, a trap was laid in wait several decades ago. When it's uncovered, they find a beast waiting to lay waste to all those in the near vicinity of his resurrection. This beast becomes Logan's mystery to solve. Drawn by Mike Deodato, the creature almost has a Werewolf by Night look to it. Very similar in fact. But, what we come to find out, as does Wolverine, is that it's actually just a very frightened kid. He was actually the only survivor of some 'ethnic cleansing' done in the wild-wild-west. Seeing the death around him he prayed to his Navajo god 'the Coyote' to help him get retribution on the men who slaughtered his family. 'The Coyote' puts him in wolf form and then bury's him deep in the ground. "Someday, the men who took your land will be thirsty. When they come for water you shall scream your revenge." While Wolverine can sympathize with his plight, he also has to put him down . . no matter how he feels about it. I thought this was an excellent story which illustrated the true nature and character of Logan. The artwork was actually just the icing on the cake.
