First of all . . look at that Greg Land cover. Isn't it fantastic. Wait'll you see next months. Anyways, Norman Osborn has to try to clean up Daken's image. So that his image doesn't hurt his own, or that of his Avengers. So he arranges for some d-list criminals to be broken out of jail. He's then going to send Daken in, have him clean it all up, and look like a hero. The problem is . . these criminals aren't quite as dumb as they look. They start to figure out that they're being set up, and they decide to fight back. Surprisingly that get the better of Daken, knock him out, and then take off. Well . . that plans not going to work for Norman. And these guys are pretty sure that they're being set up so they decide to call Norman to try to get out of this mess. But they're also smart enough to try to get a little insurance. Emmy Doolan, whom Norman set all of this up through, goes back to the store where Norman approached her to get the video footage of him talking to her. Not surprisingly all of the store's footage has been erased. But . . it turns out the store-manager is a peeping tom, and he's got his own camera's set up. He also had a thing for Emmy, who was working there, so there's plenty of footage of her. Anyways, they send a feed of the video to Norman and insist that he get them out of this mess. His solution? 'Turn yourselves in. Turn yourselves in and I'll have you arrested. I'll expedite the court proceeding . . where you'll be convicted. Once inside the system, I can assign you new identities and release you free and clear. That's my offer. Take it or leave it.' They agree, but . . they gotta know that Norman's going to set them up again. He's going to take another stab at them. And it appears that he's going to send Daken to do it. Again! Overall I thought this was an interesting story. This seemed more like an Avenger book though, than necessarily a Wolverine one. But, besides that, I thought it was interesting. Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu are the writers, and Stephen Segovia does the art. I have to say, I think Stephen's art is getting better with every issue. I didn't really care for it at first, but . . it's definitely growing on me. I wonder what kind of shenanigans Daken will try to pull next issue. It's only a matter of time until he and Norman truly butt heads. I can't wait!
