I do not think that there can ever be enough books about anything and I say that knowing that some of them are going to be about Pilates.The more knowledge the better seems like a solid rule of thumb, even though I have watched enough science fiction films to accept that humanity’s unchecked pursuit of learning will end with robots taking over the world.-Sarah Vowell

Wolverine Book Two: Three Months To Die by Paul Cornell (Writer), Kris Anka (Artist), David Curiel (Colorist), VC's Cory Petit (Letterer)


In the previous comic, a virus has wiped out Logan's immunity and healing factor and made him vulnerable to his enemies, of which he has quite a few.  He has decided to quit teaching at Jean Grey Academy and work through this by fighting through this.  He takes a job offer from a man named Offer who wants to take over Sabretooth's operation.  He becomes close with those he works with, especially Pinch and Lost Boy.  Pinch he's having a romantic relationship with and she's got a daughter she hopes to get back to and doesn't quite trust him.  He wears a suit of armor to protect him.  But he betrays the group because secretly he's working for S.H.I.E.L.D. undercover.  Sabertooth in an attempt to get at Logan and the sphere that he has been looking for kidnaps Pinch's daughter.

Daniel Rand and Shang-Chi take Logan to an island to help him figure out why he didn't kill Sabertooth.  Fear of death is now inside Logan and it's messing him up.  Keeping him from completing the mission.  So the island of Miyajima teaches him about death and how to overcome your fear of it.

Meanwhile, Pinch is with Sabertooth trying to save her daughter.  Offer betrays her and teams up with Sabertooth.  Sabertooth sends Hand soldiers to the island to seek out Wolverine.  Sabertooth intends to remake New York City over in his own way--a way that is bad for everyone.

In this concluding comic you learn more about Logan's past. A past that haunts him still.  Will he be able to stop Sabertooth from his diabolical scheme?  After fighting Death will there be anything left of Logan to stop him?  This is a very good comic that explores such lofty ideas of Death and Logan's fear of it and how he can overcome it to move on.  I give it four and a half stars.
