Synopsis: Wolverine has regained his lost memories and finally remembers he wants revenge! He goes straight to the top and stages a daring infiltration of the White House, but his presence triggers a Shiva robot to intervene. Wolverine has made someone nervous and they reactivate Nuke to take him down.
The two battle, but it's really a one-sided contest. We get a glimpse into Wolverine's involvement in Nuke's origin. Captain America shows up to halt his rampage along with several X-Men. Emma Frost is among them and probes Wolverine's mind revealing a startling secret -- he has a son!
Pros: Covers by Quesada (except the flag-face one), Way's plot twists, Captain America vs. Wolverine, includes all the variant covers
Cons: No-prize alert -- Way writes Cyclops' optic beams as hot, but they're not (unless it just got retconned), Dillon's art doesn't mesh well with flamboyant superheroics
Mike Tells It Straight: The return of Wolverine's memories reestablished one of the character's most endearing traits from his early days -- that of the failed samurai filled with shame and regret. Way writes a complex story, but Dillon's art is too straightforward. The chance to see Wolverine's sordid past may be too much to pass up.
