Wolverine Origins #25 - Marvel

As it turns out, the whole purpose of this story . . or rather the involvement of Deadpool taking on a contract to take out Wolverine . . was all a set-up to draw out Daken. When Daken, Wolverine's son, sprung him from the SHIELD facility in Berlin, Logan realized that Daken's hatred of his father was so intense, that he wasn't going to let anybody take him out, permanently, other than himself. So, he had to put himself in a position where it appeared as if that possibility may happen. It's kind of drawn out, and complicated, but basically Logan cashed in a favor that Bucky owed him. He had him pose as the initializer of the contract that set Deadpool on his tail. He then gave Bucky some Carbonadium bullets, the only thing that will slow down the healing factors of these men, and told him he's let him know when he needed him. It wasn't until it actually seemed that Deadpool may be able to perform the deed, that Daken actually showed up. Then Bucky just has to take a sniper position and wait. "There's a . . rifle slug lodged in yer brain. It's made o' Carbonadium. It's gonna keep yer healin' factor from kickin' in. Not forever . . just long enough for me to take you someplace secure. It took almost a hundred years for me to get my own mind back. Now, I'm gonna get yours back, too." From this story, we go in 2 different directions. In September, Deadpool is finally going to get his own series back. Yippee!! And next month, this book will start on the journey of finding out Daken's origin. I think Daniel Way and Steve Dillon are doing a fantastic job with this series. I, for one, actually like it better than the regular Wolverine title. But that's just me. Of course the Simone Bianchi covers don't hurt either.
