This issue earns itself its recommendation because Mark Millar stuck to his path, and delivered a plot element that makes Wolverine a far more interesting character, as we see he actively tried to kill Scott, and this in turn will make all his future dealings with the X-Men suspect, as his loyalty to the group now has a serious black mark upon it. The issue also does some nice work detailing Scott's struggle to survive, as while I do have some reservations about why his injuries never seemed to get worse, the book does a nice job of showing the mental strain, as by the end Scott was very nearly insane. As for the material centered around the X-Men, it is nice to see the Beast & Storm discussing the state of their relationship, and the conversation between Logan & Colossus was entertaining, with the final line being a nice nod of the head toward longtime X-fans.

Wolverine is an asshole but it's no surprise for me. I actually really doubt this 26-days surviving story, especially the part about eating leather gloves and not using toilet. He feel from that hell of a height... Maybe Millar read some weird and not even confirmed extreme stories about some people experience in survival, but at least it really gave me some strong emotions, so I really value it, because the latest issues were either boring or disturbing. Plus the scene with Beast and Storm was fine after so many crap Millar put in their relationship. Good to see Adam back here as an artist too.
