In 1888, London was terrorized by a mysterious assailant who stalked women in the area of Whitechapel. He killed five women in all, and was so confident that the police would never catch him that he even sent them a mocking note. He signed it, “Jack the Ripper.”
Today, the nightmare seems to be happening all over again. Someone sliced into five London women, the last of which was an undercover policewoman named Alexandra Davies. The X-Men’s Gambit had known her, and flew to London to investigate her death. Using his skills as a thief, he broke into the offices of Scotland Yard. There he found that the murder weapon had not been a knife—the evidence indicated that there were traces of bone DNA…the victims had been clawed to death.
And shortly afterward, Wolverine was found, bloodied claws extended, standing over another murdered woman.
In London, women are being murdered. Five have been killed so far. The manner in which they have been killed kindles rumors of Jack the Ripper's return. One of the victims, Alexandra Davies, was a former romance of Gambit's. When he arrives in London, he is shocked to learn that the murderer might be his friend and teammate Wolverine, who has been rapidly sinking into an animal state. Yet, things are rarely as they appear in the X-Men universe and this is no exception.
Jeff Loeb and Tim Sale do a great job of delivering a intense murder mystery, and yet at the same time, delivering some very touching character development moments.
A Very Important KEY ISSUE! WOLVERINE and GAMBIT team-up in the WOLVERINE X-MEN ORIGINS big budget Hollywood action film.
