As a result of House of M, Logan has his memories back so his past is not a mystery to himself any longer (but we the readers still don’t know what he knows), and he’s got a sword and he’s out for revenge on all the people who he now knows were a part of the conspiracies in his 100-year past.

He starts with the President of the United States.  Which is stupid for many reasons, not the least of which is that Presidents rarely have any kind of history with actual black operations, so the likelihood that the President would really have been personally involved in Logan’s past with Weapon X is zero.

Anyway, SHIELD and others defend the White House against Logan’s assault.  (Why no Avengers?  Why is this so hard for them?)  The President is saved, but the black woman is left behind.

She is the Secretary of State, and is killed by an interfering robot, intentionally, because apparently she knew stuff about Wolverine’s past…No.  Just stop.  This is terrible.

Then we flash to Nuke and learn that Logan was apparently his handler in Vietnam where he CARVED THE AMERICAN FLAG INTO NUKE’S FACE.

Not only is this gross but it’s also really inconsistent with the character created by Frank Miller. Nuke choosing to tattoo his own face to reflect his patriotism was a brilliant parallel for his addiction to blue, red, and white pills. Now, he’s just a poor slob who Logan f##cked with back when Logan was brainwashed into being a nasty operative.

We also learn Nuke’s real name (Frank Simpson) and that he was abused as a kid (of course).  Again…No.  Stop.  Please.

Nuke is the “big gun” brought out to stop Wolverine.  They fight a bit.

Then Captain America shows up and they fight a bit.

Then before Wolverine can kill Cap, some X-Men show up, and for some reason one of them is Hellion(?!?).  Then all of them fight a bit. Then they just stop fighting and Emma tells Logan that his son hates him.

Wolverine gives Cyclops his special super-sword so that Cyke can kill him if he’s REALLY out of control.

Then the heroes all LET WOLVERINE WALK AWAY AFTER ATTEMPTING TO KILL THE PRESIDENT.  He goes to find his son. That will be the next story, I guess.

I don’t know if it’s the Steve Dillon art or if the actual writing is derivative, but I feel like these issues are trying to be like “what if a brain-dead Garth Ennis wrote Wolverine?”

I’ve graded this as an F. The mindlessness gets it a D. The ruining of a character from the best Daredevil story of all time (“Born Again”–see tag below) brings it down to a failing grade.
