Chris Claremont and Frank Miller's character-defining Wolverine tale
gets the deluxe treatment it deserves! Logan's vacation from the X-Men
is interrupted when he discovers that his beloved, Mariko Yashida, has
been married off by her criminal father Lord Shingen! When Shingen
humiliates Wolverine in front of Mariko, the hero loses heart, drowning
his sorrows in beer, bar fights...and the arms of wild assassin Yukio.
But when betrayal strikes from a most unexpected source, can Wolverine
reclaim his honor and rescue Mariko and himself from the trap Shingen
has set? Then, the X-Men travel to Japan to rejoin their wayward
teammate -- but Viper and the Silver Samurai want to guarantee that the
mutants' story won't have a happy ending. Secrets, shockers and broken
hearts await in Wolverine's legendary first solo adventure!
