This issue wraps up this whole story-line. By the way, I think this is the last $2.99 mini-series. Just wanted to throw that out there. Anyways, this issue wraps it all up, but . . overall, it's a bit anti-clamatic. Yes there's this whole big fight scene where Logan takes on all of Black Dragon's minions. But, in the end, we know who's going to win, so . . it kind of takes the surprise out of it all. We also find out that Logan's whole problem with Chinatown is that 50 years ago he defeated another Black Dragon. However, as is the tradition, he refused to take his place. And, rather than even trying to help them fill the void, or find a replacement, he just turned his back and walked away and told them to figure it out. Lin ends up assuming the role out of necessity, but over the course of time it changes her. She becomes hardened and she gives in to the temptations and sins of power. Essentially, she replace the tyrant with another. We also see the Sons of the Tiger reunited this issue. That was kind of neat. In the end though, after defeating Lin's minions, and taking down the Black Dragon . . . . Logan decides to fill the role himself. He will be the new Black Dragon. There's a couple of problems here though. First of all . . Lin, once a lover, is now his most hated enemy. Secondly, now that he's the Black Dragon, he's also at the top of the SFPD's list when it comes to the triad. And finally, how is all of this going to play with his role in the X-Men. As I said this issue wraps up the story-line, but . . this story is also far from over. I think Jason Aaron did a fantastic job with this story. He's opened up a whole new aspect of Logan's past and personality. And over the course of the series I've really become impressed with the artwork of Stephen Segovia and Paco Diaz Luque. They did some pretty nice looking stuff throughout these books. But now I can get back to the 2 regular Wolverine titles.
