\"\"<\/a>WOLVERINE vol 8 #26<\/strong>
\u201cSavage Journey\u201d<\/strong>
Writer: Saladin Ahmed<\/strong>
Artist: Julius Ohta<\/strong>
Colour artist: Jesus Aburtov<\/strong>
Letterer: Cory Petit<\/strong>
Editor: Mark Basso<\/strong><\/p>\n

COVER:\u00a0<\/strong>Wolverine, with the three \u201csavage champions\u201d from issue #20. Only two of them actually appear in this story, Red Hare and Boneclaw. The one on the left is Wolf With a Gun, and presumably we\u2019ll see him in due course.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s not a great deal to be said about this issue, but let\u2019s run through it.<\/p>\n

WOLVERINE:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last issue, he regained his healing factor and the bone claws on his right-hand grew back. As this story begins, he\u2019s uncertain whether to call in some favours and get them coated in adamantium again. On the one hand, his adamantium was originally foisted on him against his will and he\u2019s uncomfortable with the idea that it defines him. But at the same time he clearly does think of it as his default setting, and seems to worry that he\u2019s being self-indulgent in not making himself the strongest Wolverine he can be.<\/p>\n

His narration lists a string of other recent failures: \u201cfailing the New Morlocks, Silver Sable cutting things off, bumping heads with Alpha Flight, watching Mor die\u201d. The New Morlocks rejected Wolverine in issue #20, with Silver Sable choosing to stay with them and fulfil her contract. Alpha Flight and Mor were last issue.<\/p>\n

Somehow, he gets transported to the home world of Red Hare, one of the \u201csavage champions\u201d that he previously met in issue #20. In issue #19, we were told that each world has a \u201csavage champion\u201d who embodies \u201cman\u201d, \u201cbeast\u201d and \u201cmetal\u201d in a single soul, and who is uniquely capable of defeating the Adamantine, apparently as some kind of predestined event that plays out on each world. In issue #20, three other savage champions \u2013 all obvious Wolverine counterparts \u2013 show up to help against the Adamantine, but they were shown waiting in a limbo location for the point where they were able to enter. Here, Wolverine just gets transported to Red Hare\u2019s world. It\u2019s not clear why this happens \u2013 Red Hare denies having actively done anything to bring Wolverine there, beyond pray for aid. Nonetheless, Wolverine decides to help out, since he owed Red Hare a favour anyway.<\/p>\n

He still hasn\u2019t adjusted to fighting with bone claws, and shatters them anew while fighting the Adamantine.<\/p>\n

SUPPORTING CAST:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nightcrawler.\u00a0<\/strong>He encourages Wolverine to make a decision about whether to restore his adamantium, but he\u2019s neutral about what that decision should be.\u00a0He\u2019s going on a date with MacKenzie DeNeer, his girlfriend from current issues of\u00a0Uncanny X-Men<\/em>, though she doesn\u2019t appear.<\/p>\n

Red Hare.\u00a0<\/strong>Last seen in issue #20, but this is the first time we\u2019ve seen his homeworld. His home appears to be a version of China at some vaguely medieval point in history. (There was an actual Gao Wei in the sixth century, but Red Hare\u2019s armour looks far too modern for that.) He refers to a \u201cthreefold kingdom\u201d, which doesn\u2019t seem to be a real-world term.<\/p>\n

Despite his \u201csavage champion\u201d billing, he seems like quite a cheerful fellow, and the locals regard him as a hero and protector of the people.<\/p>\n

Boneclaw.\u00a0<\/strong>The \u201cneanderthal\u201d Wolverine from issue #20. His world seems to be a frozen wasteland complete with giant sabretooths (literal sabretooths, not Sabretooth counterparts).<\/p>\n

VILLAINS:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Adamantine.\u00a0<\/strong>This is the Adamantine\u2019s counterpart from Red Hare\u2019s world \u2013 or at least, presumably it is, because it seems to be able to move between worlds. As indicated in issue #20, it can be defeated but not permanently eradicated. Red Hare has evidently defeated his world\u2019s Adamantine in the past, but it\u2019s returned with the warlord Gao Wei as its host. According to Red Hare, when active, the Adamantine feels compelled to destroy any savage champions.<\/p>\n

Perhaps because it\u2019s already been defeated in Red Hare\u2019s world, the Adamantine seems to be relatively easy to defeat by killing its host. At this point it turns into a giant metal sword and cuts a portal into Boneclaw\u2019s world; Red Hare concludes that it\u2019s fleeing there, which seems reasonable enough. On arrival, it selects a mammoth as its new host.<\/p>\n

Gao Wei.\u00a0<\/strong>Described by Red Hare as a warlord who has ravaged \u201cthe threefold kingdom\u201d, and who has apparently rallied an army of killers to his banner after allowing the Adamantine to host him.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
