Well this appears to be the last stand for Blackguard Inc, and it's Strikeforce X teams. Logan took out one of their experimental soldiers last issue. But it took everything he had to do it. Which left him vulnerable and able to be apprehended by HAMMER. Apparently, though . . Logan has a streak of luck that's unbeatable. When the hoods pulled off his head he finds out that he being held by Agent Jacks, Gertrude. She's a friend of Logan and Maverick's. She questions him a bit, but then lets him go. While he was out, the Chief Executive and his Strikeforce X soldiers have sequestered themselves aboard an oil rig. They're trying to make themselves an irresistible target for Wolverine. They want to take him out with sheer numbers. And, had Logan been his usual berserker self he may have walked right into it. But instead he's littered the water around the rig with chum, attracting all kinds of great white sharks. And then he starts shooting missiles at the deck of the rig from a helicopter. Pretty good plan until one of them jumps aboard the copter and takes out one of the rotors. Anyways, long story short, everybody ends up in the ocean, and washed up on the beach of a nearby island. Logan gets there first so he takes them out one by one as they arrive. However, it appears that the Chief Executive and maybe one or two of the soldiers have survived. Blackguard loses it's government contract and the company goes belly up.
However, there are some interesting things that happen afterwards. Agent Jacks deletes all the Strikeforce X files. I don't know if it was this, or the fact that she let Logan go, but . . she ends up in HAMMER custody, and at the very short end of Norman's temper. 'You're nowhere, Agent Jacks. And that's where you're going to stay.' Also Logan knows that this still isn't over because he doesn't know who sold the files to Blackguard in the first place. However, we find out that it's this guy named Grecian. And somehow . . Maverick is involved. Well . . that'll be an interesting story for somewhere in the future. I liked the story that Jason Aaron created for this first story-arc. I'm not exactly sure why this couldn't be presented in the regular Wolverine title, or Origins. So we end up with yet another Wolverine title on the shelves every month. Not that I'm complaining, but . . this one's $3.99. If I have to cut one, it'll be this one. I like Ron Garney's art, but . . I thought he did an exceptionally good job with this issue. I don't know why. I just liked it more than usual. Next issue Yanick Paquette comes aboard for the next story-arc. It's an interesting book. I'm just not sure how long I'll be able to stick with it.
