Wolverine Weapon X #6 - Marvel

This issue picks up after the previous story-line where Logan was fighting Blackguard and Weapon X. Unknown to him, during that story he was also betrayed by his friend Maverick. Anyways, now . . . now he finds himself locked up in an insane asylum, and he has no idea how long he's been here. He does however seem to be fairly familiar with the order of things around her, and some of it's patients. So he's guessing he's been here for quite a while. He has bits and pieces of his memory, but nothing that he can really put together. The only person really in this whole place that seems sane is Logan's psychiatrist, Dr Rottwell. But that may be questionable. One of the patients confides in Logan that he's seen the Doctor building a machine out of brains in the basement. Anyways, This story basically serves to show us where Logan's at, and to get us a little familiar with his surroundings. The rest? Well, I guess we'll find that out next issue. The only thing of real import that happens is one of the patients is released . . Wendell. The Doctor puts him out like a child into the cold, but he's been here for 13 years so he's not very happy about being out on his own. Within hours he returns and give the doctor a gift . . a sack full of brains. The issue ends with the Doctor taking Wendell into the basement, the incurable ward, and him screaming after the door is closed. I assume this has to have something to do with Weapon X, hence the title. But I don't know what it could possibly be. Anyways, this issue is brought to us by Jason Aaron and Yanick Paquette. With some nice looking covers by Adam and Joe Kubert. It's an interesting story, but . . I just don't have any idea where we're going with this. And we probably won't get the answers anytime soon, because this arc will cover the next 5 issues. Oh well. It's another Wolverine book. If you're a fan, pick it up. If not . . you aren't missing much.
