Story unrelated to continuity, starring Wolverine.
Logan becomes involved in a manhunt to capture a scientist named Whale.
Wolverine seeks out the Whale to remove nanobots from his blood that are separating the adamantium from his bones, disrupting his healing factor.
At his side a bounty hunter called the Heavy, who wants to help Logan out of personal interest.
Wolverine tracks down the HYDRA scientist, only to find that the Heavy is the leader of the Whale.
Logan and the Whale defeat HYDRA and the nanobots are eliminated, as is the Heavy.
Sienkiewicz's pictorial style is unmistakable, which however makes reading the story somewhat difficult.
