Although Logan does not realize it at the time, Chang is an employee of the agency known as Landau, Luckman, and Lake, with which Logan will become very familiar in later years. In China, Logan meets Chang, a Chinese businessman with whom he shares undisclosed adventures. Logan travels for an indeterminate number of years. Logan learns that Seraph has appointed herself the guardian of Madripoor against the Hand, an ancient order of mystic assassins. Logan makes many other friends on Madripoor, most notably the prostitute Madame Joy, and will eventually become part-owner of the Princess Bar. Seraph, unimpressed with Logan's attitude, takes him under her wing. In Madripoor Logan meets a woman known only as Seraph, proprietor of the Princess Bar. He does so and is sent overseas to Madripoor. They find a feral Logan in the woods and convince him to return. Afterwards, at Romulus's bidding Cyber and Sabretooth track him down. Cyber murders Logan's girlfriend when confronted, Cyber brutally beats Logan and gouges out one of his eyes. In this new life, Logan begins to find love again. Logan's commanding officer is a super humanly strong man known as Silas Burr, who will one day become the mercenary Cyber.
Logan's abilities quickly call him to the attention of the authorities, and he is assigned to a special unit of the Canadian military known as the Devil's Brigade. Defeating Lazaer gave Logan the chance to fight him again should he ever die, allowing him to return to life. They soon begin to fight one another, with Lazaer initially gaining the upper hand.Īfter being impaled with Lazaer's sword, Logan pulls it from his chest and stabs it through the chest of his surprised opponent. Lazaer is an anagram of Azrael the Angel of Death. While fighting in Belgium on April 22, 1915, Logan has his first encounter with a being called Lazaer. The issue ends with the Hellfire Trading Company’s signature ship, the Marauder, on fire in Madripoor, as Christian Frost floats in the water nearby, because we just love seeing queer bodies undergo trauma.Around 1914, Logan travels into more populated areas of Canada, eventually joining the Army.Ĭanada's armed forces become involved in World War 1. It’s a thing Scot should lean into, I think-someone has to carry the Davis hair torch! The art at least is fun-Scot Eaton is still on this arc, but I found his work this time much more enjoyable, and a lot of that is down to his depiction of Wolverine in a suit and the very…Alan Davis-ness of it.
I think it really says a lot about the state of Wolverine and X-Force both that the man has to take second string in the spinoff book bearing his name on the cover.
WOLVERINE X FORCE TRIAL
WHEN is this dude gonna get his comeuppance? Why do we have a book called TRIAL OF MAGNETO coming in the fall, when we should be anticipating the TRIAL OF HANK MCCOY?Īnyway, Wolverine is here! I guess! He fights some tree people. X-Force saves the day, and the only real consequence is Beast gets slapped by Sage. Sidenote: The most annoying part of this issue for me is the idea that not only were they able to neutralize this threat, but they were able to do so without alerting anyone. Beast’s control of the Terra Verdeans is interrupted, and with even a moment of freedom, they immediately turn to the attack, because when you are seething under an oppressor, it makes sense to immediately strike when you have a chance, and during an extremely public ball is a great chance.
Nonetheless, it’s jarring to watch a focal point of the action be Beast, Domino, and Deadpool (who’s not even on this iteration of X-Force, damnit) dealing with the consequences of Beast’s telefloronic usurpation of Terra Verde. It’s a little easier to forgive during an event like this, at least it makes sense because all of these books are taking place not just at the same time, but in the same room.
The plots interweave so heavily so constantly that there’s just not a point in them having separate identities even the stories where Logan’s travels occur separate from X-Force end up tying back somehow, as with Omega Red and the vampires. This issue ties into the Hellfire Gala, and thus into Percy’s sibling book, X-Force-they really should just unify these books into like Wolverine & X-Force or something. This issue, they felt like the solution to that was…Deadpool! Wolverine #13 Scot Eaton (Penciler), Oren Junior (Inker), Tom Muller (Design), Benjamin Percy (Writer), VC’s Cory Petit (Letterer), Matthew Wilson (Color Artist) I haven’t made a secret of how tired Wolverine has been making me feel since the end of X of Swords.
