In the current day, Wolverine is wearing his Astonishing uniform. In the past, it’s WWII in Hiroshima…

Well then. 6 August, 1945 it is.
Logan #3
July, 2008
Appearances:
Wolverine(Logan), Lt. Ethan Warren, Atsuko-FB
Synopsis:
Pg1-pg5
Wolverine and the flaming skeleton, Lt. Ethan Warren, fight.
Pg6-pg10: Between issue 1 & issue 3 Flashbacks
Logan and Atsuko fool around.
Pg11-pg22
Warren rips out Wolverine’s heart and eats it. Once he does, he somehow regrows his flesh. Wolverine decapitates him, which seems to kill him. He passes out and chats with Atsuko’s spirit, who offers to erase his memories of her and Hiroshima. He refuses, and wakes up.

The implication seems to be that Lt. Warren should be called ‘Fallout’, but he’s never called that.
Since Wolverine gets his heart ripped out, I’ll say this should go before W3 57-61, where he loses the ability to survive wounds like that.
Not surprisingly, this mini was more effective than almost every issue of Wolverine: Origins.
Logan: Shadow Society is abbreviated as L: SS here, and Logan: Path of the Warlord is abbreviated as L: PW, and look! L is open. So I’ll suggest L.
