Synopsis:	In Chicago, Jubilee in Kitty's clothes runs; a car pursues, then
manifests the Phoenix. Then Logan is there, crucified (see UXM 251), saying
things aren't as they seem. Then mute Gateway is there, and then Phoenix appears
and says she's assembling everyone for a reason.
	Jubilee finds herself and Logan in Australia in the catacombs, like before.
He's half-dead; she drags him into a corner to hide from Jessica, Tyger, and
Psylocke. Jubilee locks up her mind, but Logan drips blood, and Jubilee has to
attack. She blinds the women and then gets Logan to the room she nursed him in.
Rogue and Yukio attack them, but Jubilee finds herself falling through the wall.
Then she's in Massachusetts, swimming through air and earth with Kitty. She wants
her help against Viper, who poisoned and mind-controlled Logan's women friends,
which is why they're all in green. Kitty too, but she escaped.
	Jubilee agrees to trust her and yells for Gateway to port them away from the
approaching green meanies. In Australia, Jubilee makes Kitty wear her tacky
clothes. Kitty knows where to start looking for Logan: Mt. Logan, in the Yukon,
in an abandoned gold rush town. They enter the saloon where Logan first fought
Creed (iss. 10) and see he's been there recently. The bar explodes: Rogue found
them and bashed into it. Kitty phases, disrupting Rogue's spinal cord, but Tyger
captures Jubilee and shoots Kitty with a fixative. Lockheed arrives, breathes
fire, and carries Kitty and Jubilee into Gateway's warp.
	They land in Agarashima in Japan, where Logan is training. Yukio attacks, and
Logan, trying not to hurt her, doesn't see Psylocke coming. Unconscious and then
poisoned, he dreams of his life with Silver Fox, ended by Creed, and then of
Mariko. He fights snake-women till Jubilee grabs him and takes him up a rope
ladder. Logan realizes it's really Viper, and they're in the Princess Bar in
Madripoor. Phoenix can't break Logan's will; Jubilee throws fireworks to break
Kitty free just as the Black Widow comes to the rescue. She takes out Phoenix,
Psylocke, and Viper, while Rogue struggles with Logan, kissing him long and hard,
till Kitty phases through Rogue and pushes her into Psylocke's psi-knife. The
Widow spars with Yukio and Jessica, while Logan goes after the fleeing Viper, and
Kitty and Jubilee follow.
	Phoenix wakes and psi-blasts everyone who's left. Viper spars with Logan in
the basement, telling him to remember the vow he took on Seraph's tomb, but he's
berserk. Phoenix arrives, angry, and Kitty, desperate, phases through her. The
shock frees Phoenix.
	Jubilee gets in front of Logan's claws, saying he owes her, and stops him
from killing Viper. Logan reveals that Viper is his wife.

Synopsis:	Jubilee is shocked that Logan married a villain, but Phoenix and
Psylocke verify it. Viper goes to prepare the ceremony, and Logan's women friends
leave, disgusted, except Kitty, who made Jubilee take Lockheed away. Logan says
he has a debt of honor:
	Seraph, a midget fallen angel, built the Princess Bar. She fought Creed to
protect Logan and was killed but made Logan promise to do whatever Viper wanted.
Seraph taught Logan to be human and humane.
	Hydra and the Hand are about to shoot Logan, when Creed interrupts, wanting
him for himself.
	Kitty walks Logan to the ceremony; he and Viper are pronounced and kiss;
Creed arrives and kills the officiator. He attacks Viper, but Kitty phases her
and gets her to safety. Logan and Creed claw each other, eventually fighting
underwater in a pool. Kitty notes that Creed is acting strangely; Logan beats
him, but Kitty realizes he's faking and now has adamantium in his claws and
skeleton. He breaks Logan's claws, and Kitty has to phase him away. But phasing
through Creed's adamantium throws her off; he hits her; she drops Logan off a
cliff. Creed prepares to slash her.

Synopsis:	Creed, triumphant, thinks Kitty's too small to kill. Hydra and the
Hand start to take over Madripoor, but a shadowy figure who looks like Capt.
America defeats them single-handedly, although his shield is a garbage can lid.
The last Hand and Hydra men explode rather than give him information. It was
Logan, and he gets clear of the blast.
	Matsuo is working with Hydra, and they are concerned that the Avengers may be
involved. Also, Fixit just checked into a hotel (iss. 7-8), and they know he is
the Hulk. It's a ruse that Logan played on the computer. That night he attacks
the Hand and Hydra, yelling "Hulk smash," and they run in fear, right into the
Thing and the Human Torch, and then the X-Men. All Logan, with some help from
movie special effects devices.
	In Hightown, crime lords shoot at an intruder in the elevator: Creed. Kitty
with him; she grabs Bao Tien and takes him outside, daring to drop him. He tells
her he captured Viper when she went to him for help, and gave her to the Hand.
	Tai meets Logan, saying the directorate is about to make Matsuo prince (Baran
was killed in iss. 98). Tai wants Logan instead.
	Logan parasails onto an oil tanker and attacks Creed with the stumps of his
claws. He passes right through and realizes Kitty is working with him. Creed lets
Matsuo's trapdoor open, and they all fall.

Synopsis:	Hydra wants to kill Logan, Creed, and Kitty while they're
unconscious, but Matsuo wants to enslave them. He has 13 circles of 13 sorcerers,
able to corrupt them.
	Illusion: Creed and Logan fish in a stream together, till Kitty attacks and
kills them, as Logan taught her. She has adamantium claws.
	Hydra reports Kitty escaped; Matsuo says she's going to kill in the real
world, now, which will bind her to the Hand. Hydra is dismissive of his
mind-games. They have Viper, Tyger, and Jessica captive in tanks on the tanker,
hidden from him, and are reprogramming them.
	Illusion: Logan goes to the mansion to join the X-Men, and they attack him,
saying he doesn't meet their standards. He takes them all out, finally facing
Phoenix, who dares him to kill her or be killed.
	Creed attacks the Hand sorcerer, saying nobody kills Logan but him. The
illusion is shattered, and Creed wants to flee, but Logan says they have to stay
and find the others. So Creed attacks him.
	Kitty finds Viper and phases her out of her tank, fighting Hydra till Viper
poisons her.
	Logan says the Hand mixed their essences, so he has Kitty's innocence, she
Creed's ferocity, and he Logan's honor. So if he kills Creed or Creed leaves his
friends behind, they become pawns of the Hand. They find the women, who have
defeated Hydra, Viper having stopped Kitty from killing. Kitty phases Creed,
preventing Viper from killing him. Viper swears to kill Logan, Kitty, and Creed
the next time she sees them.
	Matsuo is furious that his 169 Hand were defeated by 3 mutants. Viper is made
prince of Madripoor via her marriage to Logan. Creed, having felt a moral center
for a moment, hates Logan even more. Kitty enjoyed her fury; she and Logan walk
away together.

Synopsis:	Nature is predators and prey. A leopard kills a zebra. A street punk
mugs a man. Whatever it takes to survive.
	Logan is in northern Canada, running through the woods to clear his head. He
gets to the old Weapon X base (iss. 48, 82). Nearby, the Wendigo (iss. 34, 84)
sniffs him.
	Logan gets through the laser defenses and picks the lock. Creed rattled him,
and he's unsure of himself. He remembers being made savage and tested on, to
become a living weapon. But then he broke free.
	The Wendigo attacks: it was created by a shaman's curse on any man who ate
human flesh, first Paul Cartier against the Hulk (Hulk 180-181) and then Georges
Baptiste against Logan and Alpha Flight (UXM 139-440). Both were rescued.
	Logan gets ripped up and wraps himself in the Canadian flag to keep his guts
from spilling out. He gets into a Hum-V, but the Wendigo attacks and flips it.
Logan, realizing he's the prey, extends the nubs of his claws and stabs the
creature's eyes. It runs away, and Logan collapses.
	The Canadian government notes activity in the base.

Synopsis:	Logan collapsed in the barn of the Jarman farm in North Battleford,
Saskatchewan. The boy, Tommy, finds him and is scared but gets him cookies and
milk. Logan realizes the Wendigo had two severed fingers.
	The Wendigo tries to recall its life as a human. He had been headmaster of a
school in Wisconsin. Chopping wood, he fell into a cavern and cut his hand. The
pain made him remember his enemy, Logan. Trapped under a log, he ate his own
fingers to avoid starvation and became the Wendigo.
	Logan recuperates and tells Tommy stories about the X-Men. He says some
people are born different, and that scares other people. In the end, we're all
animals fighting to survive.
	Logan realizes the Wendigo will track him, so he leaves, but then returns
when he realizes the Wendigo will track him to the farm. This has given the
creature time to get to the barn and scare Tommy, who hides under the floorboards
and has to strangle his dog Jake to keep it quiet. Logan attacks, throwing
kerosene on it and burning the barn down. The Wendigo runs away in agony; Logan
carries Tommy out.
	Another uplifting story of honor and heroism.

	Editor-in-Chief: Bob Harras
Synopsis:	Logan climbs a mountain. He falls and catches himself with his
claws, but not quite, and lands hard.
	Viper is alerted and decides she doesn't want him dead. Logan claws his way
back, and in five hours makes it to the top.	
	Viper sent 12 Hydra agents to look for Shangri-La. Only 3 returned, infected
with an Ebola-like virus. Viper wants Logan to go back, since his healing factor
will protect him. She needs a "pure" sample of the virus so she can make an
antidote before it infects all Madripoor and the world.
	Logan finds a Hydra agent who had been torn apart. Then a cave with the
remains of an old expedition, and a surviving, cowering Hydra agent. He says they
never found the virus but some sort of creature, and Viper killed the agents who
returned to her.
	The creature attacks, spider-like, and bites Logan; Logan wills his healing
factor to fight off the poison and then kills the spider. He realizes it's alien,
probably living in the cave for decades. He throws a grenade and tells the Hydra
agent to run for his life.
	Logan shows Viper a piece of the thing but then tosses it in an acid bath: he
brought the virus back, like she asked, but won't let her use it.
	Note: page 5 has an unfortunate typo, "kike," instead of "killer," describing
Creed. Marvel sent out a letter of apology.

own rage.
	Logan realizes Bill is drunk driving with his son in the car and follows the
oil stain up the interstate.
	The police get the coroner to confirm Linda was hit with a shovel and put an
APB out for Bill.
	Logan backtracks and finds the hotel where Bill and Richie stayed, and
Richie's message in crayon: "Albinee airport 9:00." He finds and grabs Bill, but

Synopsis:	Note: this occurs after X-Men II:90, and Logan has therefore been
replaced by a Skrull imposter.
	*Wolverine takes Nightcrawler to investigate a sighting of Magneto, in a
junkyard. They are attacked by a robot Magneto and his hench-robots. It's just a
Danger Room workout to them, and they go for dinner. *Wolverine gets into a fight
with a big oaf and breaks the linoleum with him; then he pops claws on his
friends, but Solo has been trailing him and attacks. Nightcrawler teleports Solo
outside, away from bystanders, and *Wolverine and he have it out, with Cardiac
thrown in for fun.
	Nightcrawler explains that *Wolverine was under mind control when he fought
them last (iss. 134), and they back down. Nightcrawler walks away with
*Wolverine, berating him for not stopping the fight sooner.
	At the mansion, Xavier wants Marrow, newly-beautified, to do extra training,
but she refuses. *Wolverine suggests Xavier should back off; he tells him to mind
his place.

Synopsis:	*Wolverine is at the Massachusetts Academy, reviewing security
files, though Banshee is concerned because Xavier didn't tell him first.
*Wolverine finishes and goes for a walk with Jubilee, who is glad to show off in
front of her teammates. They attack *Wolverine, but he makes short work of them.
The White Queen arrives, and the team has no excuse.
	Suddenly Gateway appears and ports *Wolverine and Jubilee to the Swiss Alps.
With no obvious threat in sight, they break into a nearby chalet. Jubilee sees
*Wolverine is on edge since Magneto got his own country (X-Men II:87).
	They realize this is Cable's place (Cable: Blood & Metal 1), and automated
defenses attack. Then they find Pierce in a back room, undergoing repairs. He
says he moved in after being left for dead by Shaw (Cable 53). He's rebuilt
himself using Cable's technology and database and a cache of adamantium, and
built himself robot helpers named after the X-Men.
	A fight unexpectedly breaks out; *Wolverine electrocutes Pierce but gets
punched through the wall and into the snow. Before Pierce has his coup de grace,
Khyber arrives and attacks him, saying he used his technology without permission.
*Wolverine fights his way back to the chalet to rescue Jubilee, just as the
building collapses.
	Khyber promises to settle up with *Wolverine later, and he and Jubilee wait
for Gateway, not sure what any of this meant.
