Wolverine by Daniel Way: The Complete Collection #3

In "Our War Part 1," Wolverine reflects on a pivotal moment from 1941 Madripoor, where a young Natalia Romanova’s life was saved by a young Steve Rogers and a reluctant Logan—two legends already at odds with Baron Strucker and the deadly Hand. The past collides with the present as the weight of loss and memory shapes a mission that echoes across decades.

In "Our War Part 4," Wolverine recalls a harrowing mission from World War II where he, Captain America, Bucky, and Nick Fury confronted Baron Wolfgang von Strucker and his rising Hydra forces. As Logan closes in on Strucker, a sudden command from Seraph forces him to turn his blade against the very allies he once fought beside—Cap and Bucky—leaving the past and present colliding in a moment of brutal betrayal.

In a haunting wartime flashback, Wolverine finds himself torn between loyalty and orders, forced to let Baron von Strucker escape while facing the wrath of Captain America and Bucky Barnes—only to be branded a traitor. As memories of his fallen friend surface, Logan bids a quiet farewell to a brother in arms, even as a new threat looms: someone has hired Deadpool to finish what the past couldn't.

In "The Deep End Part One," Wolverine finds himself hunted by a Deadpool who’s slipping into madness, his mind fractured by visions and his aim sharpened by instability. As bullets fly and chaos builds, Logan must dodge not just blades and bombs, but the unpredictable, unhinged edge of his former ally’s unraveling psyche.

In "The Deep End Part 4," Wolverine faces his apparent end at the hands of Deadpool, who plans to drown him—the one true way to kill the adamantium-laced mutant. As Deadpool drags the fight into a long, relentless monologue, the silence of the water gives Daken the opening he needs to step in and claim the kill for himself.

In "The Deep End Conclusion," Wolverine’s long-simmering conflict with his son Daken reaches a boiling point—literally—when Deadpool, frustrated at being sidelined in the showdown, storms into the fray. With the Winter Soldier watching from the shadows and Emma Frost, Cyber, and the Tinkerer making cameo appearances, the fight unfolds in a brutal, high-stakes clash that tests loyalty, legacy, and the limits of healing.

In a story that weaves past and present with chilling precision, Daken—raised in shadow by the enigmatic Romulus—awakens in the present with no memory of his father, Wolverine, or the life he once knew. As the lines between loyalty and legacy blur, the two stand face to face, bound by blood but divided by secrets.

In the wake of a fractured memory, Daken—once a man defined by hatred—finds himself adrift, and Wolverine takes it upon himself to guide him to Professor X for answers. As they journey through echoes of the past, Daken’s mind unravels a chilling revelation: his first clash with the Hulk was no accident, but a carefully orchestrated trap set by Romulus to draw him into Xavier’s orbit.

In a tense reunion of past and present, Wolverine tracks down Professor X to uncover a long-buried secret: the truth about his first visit to the X-Mansion, when he was sent to assassinate Xavier. Meanwhile, Daken is drawn into a dangerous conversation with Miss Sinister, who seeks to manipulate him with promises of legacy and power.

In "Original Sin: Part Two," Wolverine and Professor X confront shared memories while Daken is drawn into a dangerous game orchestrated by Claudine Renko at a secluded house prepared by Sebastian Shaw. As the inner circle of the Hellfire Club begins to fracture, old alliances are tested and hidden agendas come to light—just as Shaw intended.

In "Original Sin Part III of V," Wolverine pushes deeper into the Hellfire Club’s inner sanctum, where the lines between enemy and ally blur. As he and Professor X close in on Sebastian Shaw, the truth of a long-buried betrayal begins to surface—one that ties Wolverine’s past with Xavier’s manipulation and a mission that never was.

In "Original Sin Part Four," Professor X and Wolverine launch a desperate assault on a hidden estate where Sebastian Shaw and Claudine Renko hold Daken captive. As the fight unfolds, Claudine manipulates Professor X into triggering psychic traps in Daken’s mind—only to discover that his true memories have returned, leaving her vulnerable as Daken turns on her, and then confronts Xavier with chilling resolve.

In the climactic "Original Sin Conclusion," Wolverine and Daken stand at odds, their bitter rivalry hanging in the balance as Professor X’s life hangs in the void. Forced into the psychic plane by Xavier’s intervention, the two confront a long-buried truth: the Winter Soldier, acting under Romulus’s orders, was the one who killed Daken’s mother—not Wolverine, as Daken had believed. With that revelation shaking their foundation, a fragile truce forms, and father and son prepare to unite against the shadowy architect of their pain.

In "Family Business Part 1," Wolverine and Daken set out to track down Romulus, but their path leads them to Cyber instead—unexpectedly seeking to join their mission. With tensions already high between father and son, the arrival of a third volatile player sets the stage for a dangerous alliance built on suspicion and shared blood.

In the conclusion to "Family Business," Wolverine finds himself outmaneuvered as Daken and Cyber betray him, setting off on a dangerous path to locate Romulus—only for Daken’s true intentions to surface. With old ghosts from the past, including flashbacks of Professor X and Victor Hudson, looming over the present, the line between loyalty and vengeance grows razor-thin.
