Logan drives his unsheathed claws into his own neck, and falls to the floor, presumably (and most temporarily) dead. The diaper truck van goons lose his signal, and when it reappears he’s moved from the basement—he’s right outside the van. Goons tumble inside the vehicle as it’s rocked and pushed over on its side. The woman who tricked Logan in last issue jumps out of the van just in time to see Spiderman carrying Logan away in the distance (Spiderman is web-slinging).

Logan returns to the dump-of-a-diner he was originally attacked in, and interrogates the owner. He discovers that whoever told the owner to leave just before the attack came was claiming to be with an F.B.I. task force. However, when the owner called the F.B.I. to inquire as to who was going to pay for all the damage was done to his business, they claimed innocence. Of course, with the F.B.I., that doesn’t really mean they didn’t do it, it could well just be an inner department communication problem and only those on the even numbered floors are aware of it. Okay, current hot media issue cheap shot, sorry.

We finally find out just how it is they’re tracking the famous Weapon X—who can walk through airport security with a full metal skeleton undetected in today’s heightened security. The Diaper F.B.I., as Peter calls them, or just anonymous military ops, as Logan calls them, must have his Weapon X file. Logan decides it’s time to cash in a favor.

Meanwhile, on the opposite page, we have a wonderful ad for Popsicle’s super hero pops! Now, I remember these only from the ice cream truck as a kid, since we couldn’t get them in the store, or at least my mother never did. I always liked Spiderman, because he had lots of cherry red flavor. I used to just plunge his entire head in my mouth and when he came back out he was deformed with a missing eye. Why kids loved to eat their super heroes, whether it was in popsicle form or Batman Cereal (loved it!), well, who am I kidding, we did it because all children are obsessive little freaks. I had TMNT underwear. Anyway…

Next page we find the Black Widow, or Natasha, sitting in her apartment cross legged doing some form of Chi or meditating or maybe she’s just waiting for someone to make an entrance because what she was doing makes her look cool. Logan comes in, and requests her help. Then there’s a long conversation broken into about fifty little dialogue boxes that can be somewhat confusing and which half of is just a bunch of ego stroking on both sides. Natasha and Logan had some sort of fling, found out they each were spies, broke up, and went their incredibly lucrative but yet unsatisfying separate ways. Logan accuses Natasha of knowing what’s going on, she swears she doesn’t, and Spiderman eventually comes in because he’s freezing outside. They all argue some more, Spiderman wants eighty dollars he says Natasha owes him for breaking his web shooters (long time ago, another comic), Logan (probably) thinks that if the black ops don’t attack him here then it means she’s involved, and Natasha just wants to get back to her Chi stuff.

They leave after she threatens to call the Ultimates, and Logan tries to find a scent or two to lead them to the Diaper van goons. Spiderman starts to tell Logan about his really great “spider-sense” that tells him about upcoming danger, while a missile flies towards Logan and hits him square in the chest, knocking him off the rooftop they were on.

Next Issue: Looks like Daredevil will be joining the fun! Minus Ben Affleck, of course.

Review: Okay issue, moves the story along well, but we don’t even know who these guys are yet. If it turns out to be just another random military with a mad-on for Wolverine, then this arc will turn out to be just a popcorn fun romp with Spiderman with no real meaning and lots of little quips. I enjoy the Ultimate Spiderman character, and even if all he did was make jokes and run around hitting bad guys in the face I’d still probably buy the comic. There aren’t any real noticeable plot holes in this story so far, probably because there’s not a whole lot of plot yet. If Black Widow really wasn’t involved, and they just wasted their time there, that will have been annoying. Other than the cool factor, not quite sure why Logan and Spiderman teamed up, I mean I know why Spiderman is helping, but the whole reason behind having a team up has not yet hit, other than the humor about it.

Next, I hope they get this hurried and over with soon. It’s not like I don’t like the story, it’s okay, but I’m waiting to see what’s going to go on with the circumstances in the rest of the book, they left so many cool ideas just hanging.

Possible plot hole; during this issue Wolverine refused to call for help from the X-Men and when asked about it just said that we was no longer with them with an-oh-so sad look about him. But, I thought that he sorta made up and ended up back at the mansion, but maybe this all takes place before that. I’m just a little confused and not in that good, fun “whodunit?" kinda way.

Art, as usual, was clear, concise, and great looking.

That’s all for now,

Two out of four (for its mediocrity—haven’t I complained about that before with this book?).

Until next time!
