Title:
Wolverine Annual
Synopsis:
J. Patrick Smitty has a rough upbringing, and gradually moves from being a small-time hustler to being an armed robber. His church-going past doesn’t seem to have helped him change his ways, though he’d like to.
One day, a friend of his manages to get him into a gang which is pulling major jobs. Smitty becomes one of them, and starts to earn some decent money. All the while, he wants to clean up his act, but with little education and no skills, it’s tough.
One day, a botched bank job results in the death of an old lady and several people inside a bank. Unfortunately for Smitty, he steps in the old lady’s blood, which provides Wolverine, who happens to be in the area, with a scent. He tracks down one of the gang, kills him and heads to an address he finds on a piece of paper. There, he proceeds to kill all the gang members except for Smitty, whom he allows to go free with a warning to his boss. Smitty is fearful for his life, and constantly looks over his shoulder.
One day, his boss arrives with a pistol and informs him that they need to get rid of a gang member who is about to squeal. They visit the foundry where he works but, before Smitty can shoot the guy, Wolverine slashes him and chases Smitty and his boss through the foundry. Luckily for them, a crane knocks Wolverine into a vat of molten metal. Despite this, the two men are still nervous that he could come back to haunt them.
One week later, this is exactly what Wolverine does. After recovering from the fall, he murders the boss and takes off after Smitty. He chases Smitty across the rooftops and catches up with him. Smitty just has time to ask the Lord for forgiveness before Wolverine shoves his claws through him.
