Wolverine by Daniel Way: The Complete Collection #4

In "Weapon XI Part 1," Wolverine is pulled into a web of buried family secrets when Nick Fury reveals that Daken has joined Osborn's Dark Avengers—and that the legacy of Weapon X runs deeper than anyone knew. As Fury uncovers the twisted history of the Hudson family and their ties to Romulus, Logan learns he is not just a product of the program, but a descendant of a bloodline long manipulated by forces beyond his control.

Wolverine hunts Daken through the forgotten tunnels of an abandoned New York subway station, where the younger mutant and the Tinkerer have set a dangerous trap with a shard of the legendary Muramasa blade. With the X-Men closing in and shadows from the past stirring in flashbacks, the two brothers face off in a battle that’s as much about legacy as it is survival.

In the final chapter of "Weapon XI," Wolverine races to stop the Tinkerer’s deadly plan, but arrives too late to prevent the Muramasa blade’s power from fusing with Daken’s newly emerged claws. With Victor Hudson’s twisted designs at play and shadows of Romulus and Omega Red lingering in the background, the line between father and son, weapon and will, begins to blur.

In "Romulus, Part 3," Wolverine fights to survive as Omega Red closes in, their clash fueled by a brutal rivalry that leaves Wildchild dead in the wake. With the Muramasa blade reclaimed and his strength returning, Wolverine turns the tide—only for Romulus to step into the fray, the stakes rising as old enemies collide.

Wolverine confronts Romulus at last, the man who's shaped his past from the shadows for over a century. Armed with the Muramasa blade and years of rage, he faces his ancient enemy in a brutal clash that tests every instinct. Daken and Itsu watch from the edge, caught in a legacy neither fully understands.

Wolverine, battered and outmaneuvered by Romulus, realizes his enemy sees every move before he makes it. To turn the tide, he recruits Bruce Banner and Skaar, betting that their combined strength and unpredictability might finally give him the edge. With Romulus watching from the shadows and Victor Hudson’s past lingering in the background, the hunt becomes a high-stakes game of strategy and survival.

In "7 the Hard Way Part Two," Wolverine’s mission to protect his son Daken takes a dangerous turn when he teams up with Bruce Banner to execute a complex plan against Romulus. With Cloak’s help, Logan journeys to Japan, seeking the Silver Samurai’s guidance in mastering the samurai sword—just as Romulus grows uneasy, sensing something is amiss.

In "7 the Hard Way, Part Three," Wolverine sharpens his blade under the watchful eye of the Silver Samurai, while Cloak and Dagger navigate a dangerous web of secrets. When Romulus captures Dagger to uncover Wolverine’s plans, the team must act fast—especially after Wolverine eliminates Romulus’ enforcer, Victor Hudson. With Dagger safe, Wolverine turns his focus to the Raft, where he plans a high-stakes rescue for Ruby Thursday.

In "Reckoning Part One," Daken and Logan unite for a dangerous mission against Romulus, but the plan unravels when Daken is contacted by the villain—only to reveal their alliance to Logan, testing the fragile trust between father and son. Logan’s calm response shocks Daken: he says this was exactly what he intended all along.

In "Reckoning: Part Two," Wolverine’s desperate gambit to expose Romulus backfires when the villain’s true strength emerges—his ruthless alliance with Cloak and a wave of chaos that puts innocent lives in peril. With Daken’s allegiance shifting and Skaar caught in the crossfire, the line between enemy and ally blurs as the battlefield erupts in violence.

In "Reckoning Part 3," tensions explode as Wolverine [Logan] and Skaar clash with Daken and Romulus in a brutal showdown. Just as Daken closes in on his father, Cloak intervenes—pulling Logan away and leaving both men furious. With Romulus now alone, Daken confronts the man who shaped him, only to have the moment shattered once more when Cloak reappears, snatching Romulus from his grasp.

In the final chapter of this intense arc, Wolverine confronts the legacy of violence he’s long carried, forcing a reckoning with both his past and his son. With Romulus banished to the darkforce dimension within Cloak’s cloak and the Muramasa blade in hand, Wolverine makes a brutal choice that will redefine his bond with Daken.
