Wolverine and Son kinda continues with this Original Sin prologue. I wonder if it involves sex?

Commentary:
Is it filler? Yes it is. Is it good filler? It's like the chocolate insides of a French Silk pie, so you're damn right it's good.

The crux of this issue is to play as epilogue to the Son of Logan arc and prologue to Original Sin. It wraps things up a little bit by throwing us right into the end of the last arc with Daken awake and not knowing who he is or why he's there, and Logan knows he's got to play it coy when telling Daken who he is, he doesn't want to freak him out.


They start their road trip towards Xavier's palace (I assume in NYC, possibly San Fran, they don't really mention where they're exactly going) and Daken doesn't kill a man with a gun because Logan tells him not to. So Logan now believes there is hope for Daken. There might be.

Of course, this leads into a lengthy flashback (the rest of the issue) where Logan recounts his first encounter with Hulk. It was a double-blind, two ops hired him for the same job, and he was supposed to impress someone else while on this job.

The battle between Wendigo, Wolverine and Hulk is shown in a slightly different light. Logan knows he can't stop Hulk, so he has to attack Wendigo to prove that they are enemies to the same men. Though Hulk still kicks Wolverine through the air (and Wolverine's explanation of how that feels is pretty awesome) and almost stomps him, and we get a little bit more on the relationship between Logan and Romulus (who has had a lot to do with Logan's past apparently).

The issue ends with that chance meeting between Logan and Prof X, which leads me to think that maybe Xavier had more to do with Logan's life than he lead on. There is certainly more to the story. And I'm looking forward to reading more.

Of course, Way kicked ass on this. He is the writer of note currently working on Wolverine (too bad Jason Aaron isn't still on a Wolverine book, because then we'd be set).

Deodato did a really awesome job on art. Some of the best work he's ever done. Ever. Period. His Hulk was a MONSTER. He really looked like he would scare the piss out of you.

Too bad he won't be on the book very long since he's doing Dark Avengers. This book is going to suffer without a central artistic voice. Maybe Dillon can come back. That'd be nice. But overall, this is still a super-entertaining book that takes a nice look into the past of Logan and continues a look into his present. Strange that Origins is dealing with him now while Wolverine deals with his future, but the less said about Wolverine (Millar's run) the better.
