The Rundown: Mikhail sends a team into a sentinel factory where a familiar face awaits Logan.
Mikhail calls his team together to send them on a new mission. There is a Sentinel facility that he helped design and the opposition has the opportunity to liberate any trapped mutants there as well as deal a crippling blow to the Republic. To ensure that they can get close, his FORGE team has repurposed a Sentinel to transport them into the facility where they have a limited time before its self-destruct goes off.
After infiltrating the facility, Logan becomes separated from the group when he sees that Prostovich is on site. As he fights to get to her, he is slowed down by sentinels who have been genetically fused with mutant prisoners. As the mission continues, Logan will have to decide if the mission is more important than his revenge.
The Story: Condon continues to create an intense, interesting story with some great surprises that I was not expecting but absolutely welcomed. I continue to be impressed with the expansion of this world and how many new things that the story reveals that both shock and engage me. I like that the story consistently presents Logan with choices and we get to see him make those choices for good or ill.
The Art: Cappuccio delivers stunning art in the issue. I love the visual style of the series, but many of the action scenes were a little bust visually and I had to come back to panels to see moments relevant to the plot.
