Okay . . this is a little complicated, but . . we'll see if I got it right. When Logan joined the X-Men, Charles erased all his memories . . which included all the 'controls' and stuff that Romulus had done to him, and added to his psyche, over the years. Although he didn't remember anything from his past, he also was free from underneath Romulus' thumb. Unknown to him, when his memories came back, so did all that extra baggage. So from that moment, until now . . Logan has really been following Romulus' agenda, when he thought he was working from free-will. Now, come to find out, Romulus has decided that it's time for him to move on. He's to old to be playing this young man's game. But . . he wants a worthy successor. So . . he's got all of his pawns fighting to be the last man standing. The problem is, Logan wasn't even aware of the game. Even though he's probably running the board. That's why Wild-Child waited for him to finish his fight with Omega Red last issue . . and then he could pick up the battered and torn pieces. Now he's going to take a shot at taking out Wolverine. At least until Omega Red comes busting in because he still wants that Carbonadium Synthesizer that Logan's got in his possession. During Wild-Child and Red's fight, Logan makes a run for it. He's kicking himself for playing right into Romulus' hands. He makes it to a warehouse in St Petersburg, where the Black Widow has stashed the Muramasa blade. When Red catches up to him, he's ready for him and takes him down. And on the final page . . we see Romulus. He looks like a much older version of Wolverine . . and more haggard. Except he has 4 claws instead of 3. Next issue is billed as the conclusion of this Romulus storyline. I thought this was a great issue. Daniel Way wrote it, and Scot Eaton does the art. I thought it was clever how, basically . . this whole run has been brought together by this one story-line. Everything is connected. I'm sure we'll get even more insights next issue, but I thought this one was pretty revealing on it's own. After all the various 'origin' stories that we've had about Logan . . maybe now we're going to finally get the true story. I can't wait until next issue.
