I am a sucker for street-level justice and when Wolverine "Walks Tall" after a neighbor asks for help, it's incredible.

This was very eh to be honest.

Your typical teenage runaway prostitute gets murdered by some very bad men and needs to be avenged. It's crazy how many comics I've read with this premise. In a way, a similar thing was done in the Hiketeia but that one subverted the concept a bit because a woman was helping save another woman. In this story, this girl meets Wolverine and dies that very same night. The female agent tasked with trying to get to the bottom of the situation ends up wanting to fuck Wolverine because... reasons?

It's a bit all over the place. The only issue I liked was the last one where Wolverine meets Kurt Wagner at the bar.

Wolverine befriends a young woman just in time to avenge her. He chases down her killers and finds more than we expected.

This story works better on its own than the X-Men comics I read prior to it. It was also largely indulgent. Wolverine taking on people with evils close to some we see in the world.
