Well Fantomex came to Wolverine with a deal. He will tell him bout his past (or give him the files) if Wolverine helps him track down and stop Weapon XV.

The concept of this story was kind of interesting, in the fact that Wolverine might find out more of his past. The actual story hasn't really been that engrossing though. Don't get me wrong, Morrison hasn't been writing appalling issues, his dialogue is good an all. It's just that there's no oomph in the telling.

I have to say, I've never like Bachalo art. To me it seems scratchy and when a lot happens on the page, it seems cluttered. Sometimes as well he gives his characters small heads, one minute there fine the next there out of proportion. Which is crazy! Another thing bout this issue is the fact that the characters and the backgrounds don't seem to fit together. Everything seems superimposed.

This isn't a completely bad issue, it's just that it's not that good. If you've got the first two parts of this story you might as well pick it up. There's only one more part of the puzzle and this might all seem a whole lot better when read as a whole. If not, wait for the next arc!
