Wolverine has long struggled with who he is, the story told here is no exception. Still struggling with whether he's more animal or man, Logan finds himself in Texas, and stumbles across the horror of human smuggling when 19 people are killed during a smuggling operation gone bad. Determined to make someone pay, Logan beings an investigation to find who the people are that are responsible for this horror and it leads him to a very interesting place.

In the mean time, ATF agent Cassie Lathrop is conducting an investigation of her own, to find Logan, though she can't really decide why she needs to find him. Is it to see if her attraction to him is returned, or to find out what he really is?

The script by Rucka is solid and the art by Fernandez is better than most other art out there, though I prefer Derek Robertson on this title. The reason I decided on 4 stars and not 5 is that this story doesn't really advance Logan's character or show anything new. It's a little too much like Brotherhood, the pervious graphic for my taste.

Still, this is a solid, well crafted book and I recommend it.

This book collects Wolverine vol. 3 #7-11

This is a continuation of the story in The brotherhood.

Meanwhile, Logan trys to find the family of the baby. He ends up finding them and they are nothing like the evil sister. They come to Mexico and adopt the child, and Logan is free to go.
Lucy avenged, Brotherhood shut down, child placed with parents and Logan alone again.
Logan gets a invitation from Agent Lathrop to visit.
The Series ends with him showing up at agent Lathrops' Door and the rest is history/imagination.

While this is an average wolverine story it doesn't add to much to his character besides developing his relationship with the agent. Good artwork really helps this one out but doesn't help with the lack of forward momentum.
