Wolverine v3 #73, story 1 & #74, story 2
Posted: Thu May 14, 2009 2:55 pm
Not going to bother with the backup, since it (a) is by Daniel Way, (b) ties into Wolverine: Origins, a series I'm not reading and (c) leads into Dark Wolverine, a series I won't be getting; so I wouldn't know where to start, honestly.
The lead, OTOH, has is a Wolverine story by Adam Kubert, so what the hey. It's also cameo city, MU; and Paul B is going to either love it or hate it for what it does to the calendar

She says bed rest is good for that
(10-11)
App: Wolverine, Yukio
"Monday 3am"
Logan gets up and gets dressed from the bed. Yukio's surprised he's off so soon, and he says he's got lots to do. She replies that, from what she sees in the media, he's always got lots to do these days, and he concurs.
As she's asking him why he's running himself so ragged, saying that there are easier ways to kill himself, and she thinks he's having a nervous breakdown, she looks down for a moment, and when she looks up he's gone. As he drives off on a motorbike, she notes that once she thought it'd be "thrilling" to be him for a day - now she wouldn't do it if he paid her.
Notes:
Outside of the X-Force panel, whenever Wolverine's in costume, he's in his pre-San Francisco yellow X-Men costume the whole story (three yellow slashes on the side, no X on the chest and an X on the belt rather than his X-less Avengers variant - and he appears to be wearing outer-underwear in a few panels, when he shouldn't be). I'm not 100% sure what Cyclops' San Francisco costume looks like from the back and the wrong shoulder is focused on to notice the different shoulder design anyway, but Iceman has a belt, not chest X too.

Wolverine v3 #74, story 2
Writer: Jason Aaron
Art: Adam Kubert
"A Mile In My Moccasins, part 2"
They swapped the order for #74, so the Aaron/Kubert story gets a /2. Most of it's one scene, making it a lot less involved than pt 1.
(1:1)
"Monday"
App: Wolverine, Spider-Man, Captain America/Bucky, Wrecker, Thunderball

(1:2)
"Tuesday"

(1:3)
"Wednesday"
App: Spider-Man, (reporter), (cameraman), (one other)
In some graffiti-ridden place, Peter Parker - camera in hand - notices a treble-claw-mark on the scene of the massacre of an anti-mutant gag.
(2-11)
"Friday"
App: Wolverine, Spider-Man, "Earl" (barman), (three generic holdupmen), Cyclops-BTS
Spider-Man, in costume, heads into a bar to talk to Wolverine about his deathwish. Wolverine doesn't want to talk and tries to kick him out, claws extended, when three gang members burst in and try to hold up the bar. They last thirty seconds.
That disposed of, Wolverine admits Spider-Man's right. He hasn't want to be alone with his own thoughts since he got his memories back, and meeting Daken hasn't helped. So he keeps going & going and going. Then there's a call from Cyclops to the bar (the barkeeper takes it, we don't hear him), and he heads out.
Notes:
Spider-Man's a cameraman. Since I'm reading nothing with "Spider-Man" in the title, I can't place it, but it doesn't appear to be intended for a specific spot anyway.
Timeframe:
For the record, the first half takes place over 29 and a bit days, with at least one major incident almost every day . Given the gimmick of the story, I'm presuming the "Monday" with the Spider-Man/Wolverine team-up in part 2 is the same day he leaves Yukio, which adds the better part of one week and means it breaks down as (weeks are Sunday-to-Saturday):
W3 73 (1-3): Week 1
W3 73 (4-5): Week 2
W3 73 (6&7:1-6&7:5): Week 3
W3 73 (6&7:6-8:6): Week 4
W3 73 (9-11) & W3 74/2: Week 5 (Sunday-Friday)
