This is Wolverine doing what he does best, this volume reads like like a typical Mark Millar story except its not written by Mark Millar. Jason Aaron has done a great job in tearing away the layers of Wolverine's character to by turning his revenge against him. On the surface the Red Right Hand is a pathetic group of people obsessed with revenge but unable to act on it. But due to their mysterious benefactor they are able to exact a vengeance on Logan that is devastating on every level. I particularly love seeing how Logan wronged all of these people which in some cases their loved ones might have deserved what happened to them. Its the little boy though that brings everything home for me as a reader because his mothers death happened in Wolverine: Enemy of the State. Finally when the Red Right Hand's revenge is taken it is the boy who is not reunited with his mother. Ironic isn't it, while all of the other members are reunited with their loved ones in the afterlife. This volume & the two previous ones are meant to bring Wolverine back to a base line & set him up for his new role post X-Men: Schism also by Jason Aaron.
