Wolverine battles Colossus who has turned into a
cannibalistic predator due to a pathogen sweeping the world. Though he is
Logan’s best friend, he kills Peter anyway….
Logan looks back on the start of the crisis: he and Peter
were watching a hockey game on television when they—and the rest of the
world—saw Spider-Man kill and eat the Rhino. The Fantastic Four captured Spidey
and imprisoned him in a lab for Reed Richards to study, aided by Thing; it’s
Logan who recognizes that Spider-Man is studying them back, like a predator. Reed
hopes this is an isolated incident….
Shortly thereafter, Logan is on a mission with Psylocke
against Hydra; he held off the bad guys while Psylocke escaped into the sewers
only to be killed and eaten by a predator. Reed called in Hank Pym and
discovered that the pathogen rewrites DNA to make the subject adaptable to any
condition. Invisible Woman called their attention to a TV news report of the
Blob killing and eating a restaurant full of people. Reed wondered if they were
too late to stop the spread. Logan continued to track down the monster that
killed Psylocke while Beast tried to remind him that the infected are also
victims. Logan came upon a man chasing his wife and baby and discovered too
late that it was the woman who was a predator and then Logan was attacked by
Psylocke’s killer who could fly. Angel was expected to deliver some X-Men tech
sent by Cyclops and never showed up as the disease kept spreading. Logan went
out to meet Angel, killing Doctor Octopus along the way and discovered that
Angel was infected and killed him. Which brings us back to where the issue
began: Logan killing Colossus—the last of the X-Men Wolverine had to take
down….
