Astonishing Spider-Man & Wolverine | Comics

About 66 million years ago, a bearded Peter Parker observes the sky with his hand-made telescope as an asteroid was heading towards Earth, which he informs to Logan, who now runs a group called 'Small Folk' in the valley of fire. Both are stranded in past time and living separately since they don't get along very well. As the K-T Extinction Event becomes imminent, Spidey and Logan is transported in time again.

In present time, the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and the feral X-Men member Wolverine tries to stop a bank robbery by the villain Orb and his gang. As Spidey hits one of Orb’s goons, he drops a few glowing diamonds on the ground that mysteriously sent the heroes back in time. There they find out that as they got into this timeline, The Orb is also travelling in time along with them. But the Orb became least of their concern when they are both confronted by a group of robots with whom Wolverine starts tangling around.

Another Fine Mess

The artwork and the story concept of the series were highly praised even though the whole story might seem a little bit complex and oddly placed. The series was also just a trip to another direction that weren't actually going anywhere while featured the special appearance of some other lesser-known Marvel characters as well.

Wolverine – Weapon X – Insane in the Brain | Comics

Locked within a padded cell of an asylum, Wolverine fails to recall how he ended up here and fell victim to Dr. Rottwell.

Earlier, Logan was busy fighting Strikeforce X, a group of super soldiers created by Roxxon Corporation from old Weapon X files. Lately, he couldn't even remember who he really was as he is seemingly stuck in an asylum like facility. As he struggles to get a grip on his memories, a voice on speaker asks him what he can recall about his childhood.

Wolverine talks about how he remembers living in a big fancy house and being sick all the time. He recollects killing his father and how he was raised by wolves, fighting in Spanish Civil War, being an honorable samurai in Japan, falling in love with Silver Fox, having mutant superhero friends among X-Men, going to moon and having a vision of future.

He is asked if any of what he just said made any sense and he admits that it sounds a bit crazy. He admits that something is most probably wrong with him but he also can't shake off these memories. Logan is then put to sleep as soon as he starts asking about an incident earlier that day, which was to write something on a wall with his own blood.

Marked as "Patient X", an orderly is seen to be washing what he wrote outside of his cell door earlier. After putting his straight jacket away, Logan is allowed to among fellow patients there and one of them asks him to join for an escape. Next day, he meets that same guy in hallway with a side of his head stitched and is left completely immobile.

That same week, a masquerade party is thrown off to celebrate a long-time patient being cured and Logan got to meet with Doctor Rot, who promises to cure him. Knowing about Wolverine's true origins, Rot tries to unleash his violent side by pitting him against his guards but he refuses to fight back and continue to have nightmares from Weapon X days.

Earlier, Rottwell and his men took Charlie Chainsaws to incurable ward to replace his hands with chainsaws. Later that day, two mobsters came at his doorsteps to hire a hitman without knowing that previous owner of this facility has died. One of them ended up being sawed down at Charlie's hands and another being experimented on by Doctor Rot.

He sees other patients being tortured in front of him and minds his own business anyway until a day when he finally lets his inner beast out by unsheathing his adamantium claws and gutted down his tormentors for good. It turns out that he was simply under influence of a simulation program run on him by Dr. Rottwell and is put to sleep once again.

At one point, he starts wondering if this has been his life all along and then he briefly recalls his past as an X-Man. It all started a week ago when Wolverine was investigating a case along with reporter Melita Garner where three serial killers gone missing in a year from a homeless shelter in San Francisco and he decides to check this oddity out for himself.

However, before he could even get the drop on them, Logan is under a psychic attack and gets captured by Rottwell's crew. When he came to his senses, he keeps telling himself that he is not insane and gets to know more about this facility from an inmate. Dr. Rottwell repeatedly tries to hack into his brain and eventually learns about all of his dark secrets.

Logan managed to send a distress psychic call to Melita Garner and tell her where he currently is, "Dunwich Sanatorium". Next thing she knows, Nightcrawler and Psylocke shows up at her doorstep when she called a number that he gave her. These two berak into Dunwich to discover what Dr. Algernon Rottwell was working on, a God Brain Machine.

Wolverine – Get Mystique | Comics
After the initial resolve to the crisis of "Messiah CompleX" event and the disbanding of their team, Cyclops asks Wolverine to track down X-Men's long time enemy and a personal adversary of Logan; the enigmatic mutant shape-shifter Raven Darkhölme, who is also known as the mutant terrorist Mystique, to bring her down for her betrayal to the X-Men (X-Men - Blinded by the Light). Logan starts looking for Mystique's trail and eventually sniffs her out within a few hours but still she managed to dodge him. In Wolverine's disguise, Mystique has killed a local woman in Afganistan and when Logan came looking for her, she framed him for the murder of that woman. The local Afgans didn't take this matter very lightly and they fired at will to him after capturing him.

After simply taking those bullets and passing out, when he regains consciousness, Wolverine locates her again but she narrowly escaped by blowing up an entire mosque in Iran, leaving trail of bodies behind and then dodged Logan again a few more times. Wolverine is getting too much obsessed to take her down this time for good and seems like he would stop at nothing to get to Mystique. But is it really that easy to hunt down a mutant shape-shifter, so cunning and deceitful like Mystique, even with all that enhanced mutant senses and a rapid healing factor? Also, some past histories between Wolverine and Mystique are explored details in flashbacks that explain why they did not stayed in touch even though they knew each other for a very long time and how did it all came to a bitter end.

Boba Fett | Comics

As he was known as the best bounty hunter in the entire galaxy, Jango Fett was approached by Sith Lord Darth Tyranus to be a genetic template of a Clone Army for The Republic. Not only has he received a very handsome payment for that, he also collected an unaltered clone whom he named Boba Fett and started raising him as his own son. Jango was decapitated by Jedi Master Mace Windu when confronted in the first battle of Clone Wars.

Boba Fett | Comics

This motivated a young and grieving Boba to follow his father’s path of becoming a bounty hunter and take revenge on the Jedi Master who killed him. Even though his attempt at retribution on The Jedi for Jango's death failed, he quickly formed his own gang and gained status as one of the galaxy's deadliest bounty hunters.

Boba had established a syndicate of bounty hunters by himself and worked for Jabba the Hutt. When Sith Lord Darth Vader came to Jabba's Palace looking for best bounty hunters, Jabba sent Boba Fett to Vader. Boba had to apprehend the young Luke Skywalker and the vessel Millennium Falcon for Vader.

Fett left a trail of dead bodies hunting for Skywalker, whom he finally found and tried to take him as a prisoner with no success. Even after his failed attempt to get the boy, Boba was hired by Darth Vader again years later to bring Hutt's best smuggler Han Solo. Boba later delivered a frozen Han Solo from Vader to Jabba's but Solo's rebel friends managed to rescue him in time and a briefly blinded Solo accidentally banged the bounty hunter into the sarlacc pit.

Galaxy's Best Bounty Hunter

Writer John Wagner (Aliens – Berserker, Judge Dredd) played a very prominent role in exploring the character throughout his various major and minor comic-book appearances in the early days. Even though the allegiance of the character is neither good nor evil, he still is arguably one of the most celebrated personalities of the franchise and that even earned him a place in the games based on the chronology as well as the TV series titled “Clone Wars”.
