Wolverine is out on the hunt in Japan with Rogue in tow.

Last issue, Storm's powers went haywire. It seems that she cannot rely on it anymore.

Sneaking into the fortress of a daimyo (mob boss), Rogue steps on a 'tripwire'.

We are all reminded that Rogue cannot be intimate with anybody.

The two X-Men find out that their quarry was a ruse.

Unreliable they may be but Storm still cuts loose with her powers. Yukio's crazyness starts rubbing off on her.

The Storm metamorphosis has been ongoing for several issues now.

Viper and the Hand make their move.

But so does Rogue.

It's Wolverine vs the Silver Samurai.

The Samurai takes a face shot.

Wolverine gets stabbed in the gut.

This would be fatal were it not for Wolverine's adamantium skeleton.

Wolverine gets a clear shot to the Silver Samurai's jugular.

Mariko stops the death blow, sparing Marvel the trouble of creating another samuria-themed villain.

Viper comes in with a firearm but Rogue runs interference.

The second blast is different, something that endangers Rogue in spite of her powers.

Logan risks the kiss of healing.

The wedding day arrives and Ororo shows off her new look.

I love Madelyne's reaction to the X-Men.

Lockheed is sleeping in the bag in front of Madelyne.

Then suddenly:

It's enough to make Wolverine cry.

Whose fault is it? This guy's

Mastermind - a mind controlling douche bag. Damnit Professor X, you're supposed to protect the X-Men from this kind of attacks.

Damn. Bad day for Logan.
