I'm not exactly sure why this story couldn't be told in one of the X-Men titles. In the last Wolverine Origin I read we were starting to go into the direction of this Original Sin story-line. I guess maybe this is the prelude for the story to come in X-Men Legacy. But all of the X-Men creators are here on this book, between parts 1 & 2 of the story . . . Daniel Way, Mike Carey, Mike Deodato Jr and Scot Eaton. Anyways the gist of the story is that Wolverine, and now Daken, have been lead around by the nose most of their lives by this Romulus character. Nobody knows who he is or has ever seen him. But Logan's final mission for him was to join the X-Men. He wanted somebody on the inside. Well now Logan has found out that the guy has done the same thing to Daken. And like Logan, at one time, he's having a memory problem. So being a dad, Logan wants to try to help him . . with the assistance of Charles. He figures this is the best time to try to tear down some of the conditioning that going on in his head. The problem is Logan isn't the only one trying to help him . . or should I say help themselves to him. Lady Sinister . . although I wouldn't really call her a lady . . and the Hellfire club is also eager to get their hands on him. And Charles isn't really in the position to help much as he's experiencing his own memory problems . . as well as a question of nature. And all of that is really just the prelude to the story to come. I think this story is going to really get to the heart of the X-Men. Hopefully Logan can figure out some way to help his son, and we should be seeing, or at least finding out, who this Romulus character is. I'm really enjoying the creative side of the X-Men right now. We've got some really nice talent on these books right now. Hopefully they'll stick around for a while. Overall I really enjoyed this book. I think this story-line is going to be pretty revealing for the X-Men. I wonder what other skeletons we'll be digging up?
