A fun issue... and a promising start to the second half of this run!

Remember how we all used to complain during the 90s that Wolverine would show up in so many books a month? Well, it's a good thing THAT'S a thing of the past, innit?

The more things change, right? Today, we're taking a detour into, of all things, an issue of Black Cat (an ongoing series your humble host didn't even realize was a thing!) where she and a certain Mr. Patch are running the tables in Madripoor's Hightown. It's a very fun story, I hope you'll give a listen!

It's taken us 12 issues and 13 months... but, we're finally heading into The Vault to catch up with Wolverine (X-23), Synch, and Darwin! It's mostly a fight scene, but there are some useful bits and bobs dropped in.

Also: Sinister Secrets Revisited! We take a look at the 19 Sinister Secrets we first read a very long time ago to discuss which ones played out... and which we're still waiting on! It's a very fun conversation I had with myself -- I hope you'll give it a listen!

Wolverine and Maverick flee Madripoor (it's a lawless place, donchaknow!) and try to talk each other into leaving their way of life. Wolverine would dig it if Mav came to live on Krakoa... while Mav thinks it would be cool if they teamed up as Mercs again.

Today they're going to go on one "last" caper together...
