This tells of Wolverine, alone in New York, being chased by memories of a drinking partner from 10 years previously: McLeish was a hard drinking mad Scottish killer who Logan linked up to drink with in Hong Kong.

Logan left McLeish for dead after a boat exploded in Hong Kong harbour. However, Logan is now being chased by ghosts (plus all too real killers) and is manipulated into arriving in a deserted house outside New York where he comes face to face with McLeish in a final showdown.

Gone are the early narrative introductions in each chapter of "I am Wolverine, I'm the best at what I do". Logan is feeling old and tired and manipulated. His capacity for fast healing remains, but the adamantium has been stripped from his bones and not providing him with the protection he was once used too. His claws are still as lethal as ever, but they are now bone rather than metal. This was the main thing that annoyed me about this story - i didnt understand why or when wolverine has lost this protection, and it could have added to understanding of why Logan felt so down and even darker than normal.

It's an okay read. I don't have much from the "adamantium-free" run so I picked this up as a blind buy. I originally thought the title referred to Logan but it actually refers to the antagonist of the collection. The art is decent, but it's one of the shorter stories so don't spend too much cash if you're completing your Wolverine collection. ( )
