Wolverine Weapon X #7 - Marvel

Last issue Logan woke up in a sanitarium, Dunwick. He's got no idea how he arrived there, and actually . . he doesn't even know who he is. But his Doctor, Dr Rottwell, does seem to have something in mind for him. I would assume that the good Doctor knows who Logan is because part of his 'therapy' is the attempt to get Logan to recognize and embrace his 'dark side'. Now, if Rottwell does know who Logan is, and his abilities, I can't image why he'd be trying to provoke him and set him loose in the nut-house. But Rottwell has other things going on in here also. There's a part of the building where no one else is allowed into where Rottwell performs some type of experiments. So far we've seen him graft chain-saws onto a patients arms, in place of their hands. And . . he's doing something with people's brains . . patients and innocents alike. But we don't really know what that's all about, yet. Basically this whole issue is spent with Rottwell trying to 'push' Logan into a reaction. All the while we get these glimpses of what the doctor is up to behind the scenes. But this is only part 2 of 5, so . . we're not going to get any answers to soon. On the final page we do see Logan lash out at his tormentors, and . . the claws have come out. Jason Aaron is writing this story. I really like the way that he's portraying the thoughts, and doubts that are running through Logan's mind. It's actually kind of creepy to know that a man could get this lost into himself. Jason portrays it . . graphically. I'm not a huge fan of Yanick Paquette's work. But, on this book . . I think he does a good job of giving this story an eerie edge. The facilities and patients here are all pretty run-down and chaotic. Yanick definitely does express that feeling across the panels. I wasn't sure I was going to keep up with this book . . we already have 3 other Wolverine titles. But . . this story is interesting. So at the very least I'll be around through this arc. After that? We'll see. There's still that budget thing to worry about. You know?
