Wolverine heads down to the Carolinas in search of the missing X-Men when he comes across and rescues a man being attacked by a grizzly bear. Logan doesn't recognize the man as Bruce Banner at first, so he doesn't understand why the tattered and scrawny man is acting standoffish and declines a ride in favor of running off into the woods. Worried, Wolverine tracks the man to a cave where he's met by the Hulk. Somehow meanwhile elsewhere, a naked Wolverine slashes an unseen victim as they plead for mercy.

Tiger Shark takes down Stingray and makes off with his wife.
The Shroud tries to stop Firefly from murdering the Cult of Kali High Lord.
