Synopsis for "House of Blood and Sorrow"

Wolverine has been injured before, but never like this. Blasted with 5,000 rounds of machine gun shells and lifted to the edge of earth's atmosphere by Hydra's giant robot, Wolverine was 85,000 feet in the air when he finally disabled the killing machine. Now, after a horrendous descent and fiery crash into a rural Nebraska cornfield, he lies at the edge of death, lapsing in and out of a coma as his body desperately tries to heal. He's taken in by Leelee and Horace Buchman to their farm where the locals suspect aliens. When confronted by sheriff Sweeney, Logan attempts to calm fears by telling the mob that he's an air force pilot, but a Hydra agent in the crowd opens fire causing chaos. Leelee's dad Horace is killed, and the tumorous growth that is what's left of Leelee's mother in the cellar goes crazy. Logan battles the Hydra agents and the creature that had been Leelee's mother escapes. Logan takes Leelee with him when he leaves the farm.

Synopsis for "Farther Still"

Reprint of the 1st story from
X-Men (Vol. 2) #6
The X-Men are at Fenris’ secret lab in Berlin trying to rescue Wolverine. They've divided into two teams, but Beast, Cyclops and Jubilee run into Omega Red and the three are defeated without effort. The other X-Men are in a different corridor fighting off the Hand when Fenris attacks Gambit, removing him from the fight and Matsu'o Tsurayaba takes control of Psylocke’s mind who in turn takes Rogue out with her psi-blade. A couple of blocks away in a subterranean cavern, Maverick is trying to save Wolverine’s life. While Wolverine is unconscious, he begins to remember his past about thirty years ago when he worked with Team X while trying to run from Omega Red.

Regaining consciousness, Logan hears the parimeter alarm go off and sees Creed (Sabretooth) on a video screen going into Fenris’ lab. Maverick decides to move Wolverine and take him back to the German Embassy, and from there try to figure out where the C-Synthesizer is located. Sabretooth though, was brought in by Matsu'o Tsurayaba to hunt down Wolverine, so he and Psylocke go off to find Wolverine. Logan senses them coming for him and tells Maverick that unless he wants to face the two of them on his own, he had better release him from his handcuffs.

So Maverick releases Wolverine in enough time, then Sabretooth shows up and the battle begins but only lasts around thirty seconds. Later, Matsu'o Tsurayaba sees Sabretooth dragging Wolverine and Maverick through the sewers and Matsu'o is quite pleased. Elsewhere Longshot, Dazzler, and Lila Cheney find themselves trapped in the Mojoverse, as Major Domo is blocking Lila‘s powers. They run from Mojo to find the freedom rebels base and from there, they start to plan their next attack on Mojo.

Synopsis for "Inside...Out!"

Reprint of the 1st story from
X-Men (Vol. 2) #7
Sabretooth is carrying Maverick to a holding facility and mysteriously keeps repeating the same sentence over and over again. In the labs, Dr. Cornelius and Matsu'o Tsurayaba are monitoring Wolverine as they try to read his past memories again. Matsu'o Tsurayaba gets mad and accuses the doctor of not going fast enough and Cornelius explains that too fast of a memory extraction could kill Wolverine. Tsurayaba doesn’t care and forces him to speed the extraction up. Wolverine remembers the past when he placed the C-Synthesizer in Janice’s lifeless body to hide it from the rest of Team X. Matsu'o now knows where the synthesizer is and commands Dr. Cornelius to kill Wolverine. As Wolverine screams Psylocke stops her ruse of being under Tsurayaba‘s influence and attacks Omega Red and Tsurayaba. Elsewhere Maverick hears the commotion and breaks free of his captors. Turns out that Sabretooth was under Psylocke’s mental hold the whole time. Maverick and Sabretooth reach the X-Men’s prison and they try to free them, but as Psylocke gets defeated, Sabretooth becomes himself again and fights Maverick. Luckily Beast breaks free releasing Jubilee in the process and she blinds Sabretooth with her powers. The escaping X-Men get to Logan and Psylocke in time, as they are being torn apart by Omega Red. Together they defeat Matsu'o Tsurayaba, Omega Red, and Fenris and escape in the Blackbird as the base explodes. They go to the German Embassy where Maverick and the X-Men part ways. Wolverine has some unfinished business though and next we see the Hand trying to dig up Janice’s body, but Wolverine was waiting for them and attacks them saving the C-Synthesizer and giving it to Maverick. In the Mojoverse, Dazzler witnesses both Lila Cheney and Longshot getting captured by Mojo, she decides that she needs help to battle him.
