Wolverine #73 - Marvel

This issue, our pages are split between 2 stories. The first really comes down to what Yukio notices at the end. We go through about a month in the life of our favorite Canuck-head. Each panel is a different day, and we see that Logan is a pretty busy character. He just really seems to go from one situation to the next. Between being a target for all types of crazies, to his work with the Avengers, X-Force, the X-Men, various 'team-ups', and sometimes just him looking for trouble . . he doesn't really have a lot of down time. Finally Yukio gets him to relax a little, and they spend a night together. The next morning, as Logan is getting ready to shuffle off, Yukio decides she needs to speak her mind . . "Logan, why are you doing this, running yourself ragged, all the time like this? What are you running from? What are you trying to prove? There are easier ways to kill yourself, you know? Listen Logan, I'm no expert or anything . . but I think this might be what a nervous breakdown looks like." But Logan's already left. He and his bike have hit the road. "Logan? For god's sake, Logan. I used to think it'd be thrilling to be you for a day . . but now I wouldn't do it if you paid me."I thought it was a great look into the mind, as it were, by Jason Aaron and Adam Kubert. Fantastic pencils by the way. Every panel was beautiful. But I think it's just the beginning of something much larger. We'll have to wait until next issue though to see if we continue along this 'theme'. It could be interesting. What happens when the world's most dangerous weapon loses his cool? The second story takes place in what looks like Arizona. Logan comes across an old friend, Horror-show. He's the leader of a bike-gang, and it appears that he and Logan go way back. Anyways, Logan comes around right when there's a problem between Horror-show's group, the Burnin' Sons, and the New Saints. It appears that Horror-show's ol' lady and son took off a while ago when he decided to go 'clean'. When the supply ran out, they took off. One thing lead to another, and now his son, Junior, is the leader of the New Saints. It appears that he wants to declare war, for some reason or other, on the Burnin' Sons. But Horror-show isn't so quick to jump the gun. Also, he doesn't know how their third 'Lord', War-horse, feels about all of this. "Declaration has to be unanimous among the 3 Lords, Ram . . and you ain't but one of them." So Logan decides that he's going to try to help his old friend out. As a natural party, he's going to try to go talk to Junior. However, as the story ends, it seems that there's someone that doesn't want to let that happen. This was an interesting story. It was pretty much a 'typical' Wolverine story, but . . it was interesting. The second part was by Daniel Way and Tommy Lee Edwards. I think the story was better than the art. However, the art did fit the story . . as far as location and characters, pretty well. Actually, both stories were ok. We just have to get used to this type of book, and story, after the big epic we just finished by Mark Millar. This is more of what the Wolverine book should actually be like . . what we're used to, but . . Mark's story was pretty sweet. It's gotta be hard to follow that up.
