Wolverine (2003) 22

Enemy of the State (Part 3)
By Mark Millar, John Romita Jr, Klaus Janson
Jan 2005

- Wolverine continues with his surveillance of the Baxter Building, lots of back in forth inside his head as he makes notes about the FF before Reed's devices detect him
- Human Torch hits him first but W strikes back using the buildings fire suppression system
- nice moment between Reed and Sue, where he tells her about a machine he had created to mimic himself and she questions if she is talking to the real Him or the machine
- Wolverine also tussles with the Thing and Mr. Fantastic but as W figured Invisible Woman gives him the most trouble, cuts off his breathing and turns him temporarily blind but he manages to escape with some help from Hydra
- a bit of misdirection, I thought his mission was to kill the FF but it turns out that the Hand and Hydra wanted data from Reed Richards lab, and W accomplished that mission
- Hannibal Lecter (Silence of the Lambs) moment after the second fight between HT and W; EMTs think they have HT bandaged up but it's actually Wolverine; it was kind of obvious what was coming
- a few glimpses inside Hand or Hydra HQ from where Gorgon and Baron and Strucker are directing things; apparently AIM is also involved and Wolverine's next stop will be Stark Industries
- still good but this issue wasn't quite as much fun as the first two

4/7
