Wolverine 15

Wolverine is grappling with his guilt of unknowingly killing his children after being set up by the red right hand in the previous story arc. Wolverine resorts to climbing up a cliff and throwing himself down over and over again to punish himself. A very inhumane way of resolving one's guilt only Wolverine can manage. Up till a few days ago Wolverine has been going around and locating the relatives of the ones he killed in order to bury them.

He gets himself drunk by the way and in his drunken daze, his old foes of Daken, brother and father returns to torment him in his dream. After getting a walloping in his dream daze a few gangster even robbed and slit his throat which is a new low for Wolverine. There and then Wolverine decided that he is not coming back for good and that it is the end of the superhero Wolverine. Will Wolverine starts to wander as a hermit once again after quitting being a superhero. Most likely.

The penciling here reminds of the newspaper comic strips of yesteryear. The artist Goran Sudzuka previously illustrated some issues of Y: The last man has translated the retro style here brilliantly. A good enough standalone issue after the previous incident aftermath.
