Summary
Wolverine's past is one full of characters. One of the nastiest is one that Logan thought he killed years ago in Hong Kong. However, McLeish, also known as the White Ghost didn't die, and now he won't stop until he's killed the mutant with Adamantium weaponry—using the same metal that keeps Wolverine alive in efforts to destroy him. True to his character as a loner, Logan stands alone in this battle.

Critical Evaluation
In this installment of the X-Men/Wolverine series, The White Ghost is back to kill Logan using the most sinister of weaponry—Adamantium—he can to obliterate the mutant. Although, McLeish is looking for revenge for past events from their time in Hong Kong, readers will see that Wolverine has grown wiser and more capable to outwit any foe.

Reader's Annotation
Once left for dead, The White Ghost is coming after Wolverine for bitter and brutal revenge.
