It took them long enough, but in Return of Wolverine #3, the X-Men have finally tracked down their recently resurrected friend.

Of course, knowing where Wolverine is and getting to him, much less getting through to him, are totally separate things. Not only is Logan deep in uncharted territory, having traveled to the heart of Soteria, the city where Persephone, the X-Men's newest, biggest threat, resides, he doesn't have any clue who he is. And if he doesn't know who he is, he's certainly not going to know who the X-Men are when they come calling. What he does know is, he's a dangerous man, and if anyone gets in his way, he'll cut them down where they stand, longtime friends and teammates or not.
