It's time for another round of Comic Conversations. Today, we will go down memory lane when Logan was known as Patch and he was a silent partner with Tyger Tiger of the Princess Bar in Madripoor. we were first introduced to this persona of Wolverine back in the late '80s. For those of you who may not been born at the time, let's look at the content page Marvel was nice enough to include in issue #1.
The first issue starts off with some suspicious activity going down in the jungle. Which has some of the locals, human and animal, very nervous. When you turn the page, we are in the Princess Bar, while Patch and Archie enjoy a drink to was away their cares. It is then they are offer a job that they cannot refuse. What's the job? Well, you will have to read the issue to get the full details but let's just say it might be related to what is spoking the locals.
As they are flying around and doing recon, they discover a downed Russian plane in the jungle. Before they could get too close, a couple of jets surround them and ask them to land on what you can see is a S.H.I.E.L.D. Hellicarrier. It turns out the boys accidentally found themselves in a secret ops led by Nick Fury.
Well, Fury let's them go with a warning. Like a warning is going to stop Logan, lol. As they fly away, Patch jumps out the plane to see what he can find. Besides a couple of broken bones, he comes across some heavy hitters that give him a run for his money. After an intense fight, the two heavy hitters leave Logan for dead. What they don't know is, Patch has a healing factor. He had wounded one in the battle and once they are gone, he gets up and proceeds to follow the blood trail.
What will happen next? Well, we have to stay tuned until issue #2 to see what fate awaits Patch. This issue has set up nicely what potentially could be the best Wolverine story in years. Patch was always a fan favorite and bringing us a storyline that deals with an adventure in Madripoor is what we needed.
I give this issue a 4 out of 5 rating. It would have gotten a full 5 if there was just a little more action. There wasn't enough Slice 'N' Dice for me.
Until next time, get your READ on!
