Story Overview:
Logan returns to Canada in search of answers to his fragmented past. This issue dives into the mysterious Weapon X program and Logan's time with Department H. Told through flashbacks and redacted “government files,” the narrative sets the tone for future arcs focused on memory manipulation and covert experimentation. Silvestri’s art blends raw energy with a subtle psychological tension, and the die-cut cover gives the comic a striking, dossier-like presentation.
