I spend a lot of time and money buying and reading comics. Most of the time I'm happy with my choices, sometimes not. I'm hoping,that with my reviews on what I've read, I might spare someone else dissapointment. I'll read anything, but I can't afford everything. If there's something you'd like for me to read, let me know. If you take the time to read this, please, take the time to let me know what you think. I may not agree with you, or you may not agree with me. But, so what. That's life.

Wolverine Origins #44 - Marvel
Ok . . now that Logan has found Romulus, and knows what his plans are . . things are only going to get worse from here. Basically, Romulus wants someone to take over his empire . . either Logan or Daken. So he's trying to pit them against each other. Logan doesn't want that. He can either fight Daken, or just assume control from Romulus. But either way, eventually . . Daken will come after him, and he'll have to kill him. That's the only way he'll be able to stop him. So he opts for the third choice . . take apart Romulus' empire so there's nothing left for he and Daken to fight over. And Romulus will be left in a powerless position thereby being unable to manipulate Logan, or anyone in the future. However, this isn't Logan's plan. It's Bruce Banner's plan. Anything Logan can come up with, Romulus would've been able to figure out. So he's gone outside of the circle for help. He's enlisted the aid of Bruce, and his son Skaar, the Silver Samurai, Cloak and is currently in the process of procuring the help of Ruby Thursday. However, to do that . . he has to break her out of the Raft. The problem there being . . getting out. Getting in was easy. But now that they know they're there, the gates have come down as well as a very powerful power dampener. And Romulus, who's now desperately trying to figure out what Logan is up to, is also in the shadows trying to stop Logan's progress. Everybody ends up making it out, but . . before they can get to her, Romulus has snatched up Ruby Thursday. I think he's hoping to get some information from her as to Logan's activities. Daniel Way has done a terrific job of scripting this book. Even though we're on issue #44, in looking back . . you can see how everything has been interconnected up to this point. He's done a terrific job of guiding us through this opus. I'm also enjoying Doug Braithwaite's pencils. I'm just guessing here, but I think that Romulus is Logan's actual, biological, father. You can see the similarities in their appearance, but . . that may all be a ruse . . some misdirection to make us think that. I'm still going to go with my gut feeling, but . . there may be another answer out there that we haven't even glimpsed yet. It's all in the hands of Daniel and Doug. We couldn't ask for better guides.
