In view of the forthcoming Civil War movie, we decided to take a little trip back to the original ending run of the first Marvel Civil War series (yes there is a new series with the same name). SPOILER ALERTThis series deals with the aftermath of that ... when Captain America surrendered, gave himself up for due process ... only to be shot dead in front of the world as he marched up the stairs ... so who shot him and why? And is he really dead (at that time)?
Well that's all answered later on in his own series and it led to some awesome stories. However, this particular issue is the first in the stages of Denial series ... and we get Wolverine as the lynchpin role here ... for some odd reason, this affected him tremendously and he goes out of his way to determine if the man who was shot was really Cap
And in his journey, we get glimpses of him joining Bucky the Winter Soldier and enlisting both Daredevil and Doctor Strange to penetrate the walls of SHIELD. He even encounters Iron Man and Hank Pym as Giant Man in his quest albeit at that time, they were the opposite Avengers team called Mighty Avengers while Wolvie was with Luke Cage's team called New Avengers
It is surprisingly a simple, sad journey ... wherein he concluded that what was before him was indeed that ... the body of Cap ... of course being Wolverine it doesn't end there even though this issue does as he promises to investigate to find out who really killed Cap since the official shooter in custody, Crossbones, a grunt for the Red Skull did shoot but did not deliver the kill shot
Ratings: 6/10
