In an abandoned barbershop in New York City, Winter Soldier and Wolverine discuss the shooting of Captain America. Wolverine doesn't believe it's true but Winter Soldier says he was there and saw it. Wolverine says that perhaps they wanted him there to witness it. Wolverine mentions that this isn't the first time the world believed Cap was dead. Winter Soldier finally figures out why Wolverine wanted to meet with him. He wants Bucky to go with him to identify the body. Winter Soldier says no because he has his own agenda.

Next Wolverine seeks out Daredevil. He tells him that his heightened senses can help identify Cap. When Daredevil asks how he plans on avoiding getting arrested, Wolverine says he's "got a guy."

10,000 feet above New York City on a S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier, Wolverine and Daredevil stand aside as Tony Stark and Maria Hill walk right by him. No one can see or hear them. It was Dr. Strange that allowed them to get on undetected with magic. They only have ten minutes. It turns out that Wolverine wants to talk to Crossbones instead of seeing Cap. He wants Daredevil to be his lie detector when he questions him.

In Crossbones' cell, Wolverine puts down a gun he took from a guard. Crossbones is the only one that can see and hear them. When asked if he shot Captain America, he tells them, yeah but he didn't get the kill shot. He's asked if he believes Cap is dead and Crossbones says he better be. When Wolverine asks who hired him to kill Cap, he says he doesn't remember. It seems his memory's been blocked. Wolverine taunts Crossbones into picking up the gun and shooting him. Once he does, he can attack him. He tells him he has three seconds to tell him who shot Cap and places his fist against his neck. The two outer claws are popped out. Daredevil convinces Wolverine that he doesn't know anything. Wolverine punches Crossbones out.

As their time is almost up, Wolverine tells Daredevil that he has something else to do. Down below, he opens a sealed coffin covered in an American flag. Behind him, he hears the electronic voice of Iron Man tell him, "It's him," as he looks over Steve Rogers' body. Wolverine asks Iron Man where is Cap's shield. He asks if he's going to make it that Captain America lives on while Steve is dead. Tony says that Steve was his best friend.

Wolverine turns to leave. Hank Pym puts down a giant hand and asks Wolverine if he thinks he's just going to walk out of there. Wolverine says they are going to let him walk out and give him transport too. Hank asks him if he thinks he can take on him, Iron Man, and all of S.H.I.E.L.D. Wolverine says "yep" but the reason Tony is going to let him go is to tell anyone who has hope that Steve is still alive that he isn't. He also tells Stark that if he finds out he had anything to do with Cap's death, he's going to kill him.

Is that the sound of the final nail in the coffin? 0

Cap has always been one of my favorites. Not just because of a patriotic thing or anything but he was just the guy. No real super powers but he wouldn't take any $#!t from people. He'd be the first to jump into a situation no matter what the risks were to himself. Then he "dies." Yeah that sucks. Will he stay "dead"? We all know in comics, death don't mean much.Marvel is doing a good job trying to convince us they're serious. We've seen Tony Stark all choked up and admit (in private) tha...

Remembering a legend... 0

I was a little worried before reading this. Jeph Loeb's current Wolverine run and Onslaught Reborn have both done anything but impress me. Thankfully I was wrong to be worried.This is the first issue of Fallen Son that will be based on the 5 stages of grief. The first is denial, and Loeb picked the perfect character for this story. This is the logical way any fan would expect Logan to react to Captain America's death. Being screwed over by the government almost his entire life, Wolverine always ...

Love Michael Turners Covers, and edgy Wolverine 0

I really liked this issue. For one, it starts with trying to bring you the closure that every Cap fan has been looking for. Two, the story takes you in the direction to finding who is behind Caps assassination. Most Cap fans really do not like Tony Starks right now, and this story pushes that issue. Wolverine and Daredevil on the same team is always cool becuase of the opposite personality. Plus, Wolverine throws a bit of a beating on Crossbones in this issue. I would also have to say when W...
