Having escaped Wolverine’s wrath once more, Mystique has the power of the US army to protect her from her foe. But will this be enough? Wolverine manages to infiltrate the military base where Mystique is masquerading as a senator and is ready for the kill. But Mystique seems done with her tricks and is ready to face the old mutant who once was her lover, whether she dies or not.

Not much moved forward in this story. It’s still a cat and mouse game with Mystique trying to evade her enemy. There is more information on the relationship that Mystique and Wolverine shared in the past, but not much. This story sets everything up for the final part of this multipart story where Mystique will face Wolverine directly. Although the story is not boring, I find the set up tiring. They could have just fought directly and spare us from all these unmemorable sequences. It was almost a padded story.

I like Garney’s work. It has the crispiness of Romita Jr. and the dynamism of Gil Kane. I would argue that he’s finally coming of age here and in the previous Spider-man stories he worked on. His work elevates this story to a major event instead of the random story it should have become.  Reading his comic books is truly joyful.

Rating: 7/10
