Wolverine Origins #46 - Marvel

Next issue we start the final story-arc of this series . . where Logan's plans to take down Romulus all come together. So for this issue . . we get a little bit of a breather, and a flash-back story that kind of clears up the whole thing about Mariko. I'm guessing, before Logan starts implementing the final parts of his plan, he wants to remember the past. He wants to remember what he lost. So he starts rereading his letters to Mariko. And he calls up Kurt, because he decides that it may be time for a bit of a confession. He's been feeling guilty this whole time because he had actually killed Mariko. While she was trying to clear up the Clan Yoshida's family name, she made a deal with Matsuo. For his effort for her family, he asked for one of her fingers in return. Logan had removed one of his hands in a fight, so apparently he wanted to return the favor. Anyways, the sword that he gave her to do it with was cover with blow-fish toxin. So she was going to die anyways. But she didn't want to go out like that. So she asked Logan to kill her. Which he did, but . . he's regretted it ever since. He's always felt that there had to have been something he could've done to save her. Plus . . he feels like he was being selfish. He feels that he really did it for himself. So that he could preserve their love forever. But, as Kurt points out to him . . she was probably doing it for the same reason. 'She was going to die anyways. Be it from poison, old age, or any number of reasons. All of which you are immune to. She died on her terms rather than yours. And you cannot handle that.' It was rather a touching issue. But on the final page Logan meets up with the final person essential to his plan against Romulus . . someone Romulus, I'm sure, would never think that he'd team-up with . . Daken. I thought it was a great issue by Daniel Way and Scot Eaton. And, yes . . issue #50 is scheduled to be the final issue of this series. So get ready for a thrill ride because I'm sure Daniel is going to take us out with a bang. I can't wait.
