You spent the first few issues establishing to the reader that Wolvie sees no other solution to the Phoenix problem other than killing Hope. So committed to this end has he been that he's tried once and nearly got disintegrated but also fought Cap over it and was consequently tossed and left out in Antarctica by the Avengers.

Then for no reason whatsoever, since they've never been close and he's proven he doesn't trust hope, she goes to him claiming he's the only one she trusts to take her out if all goes bad but give her a chance to do....EXACTLY WHAT CYCLOPS HAS BEEN PREACHING SINCE BEFORE THIS EVENT STARTED! So why the hell didn't she just stay with Cyclops' team in the first place? I mean, they have Magneto. You know, the guy who actually killed Jean when Wolverine failed when they were on the asteroid headed for the Sun. Then if that's not bad enough they get on a jet together and she takes a nap, a FRIGGIN nap in front of the same guy who fought cap because he believes she needs to die.

Does he kill her? No. What does he do instead? Alerts Cap and the avengers. WTF?! Someone please explain that logic to me. Suddenly he agrees with Cap? Unless this turns out to be part of the plan between Hope and Wolverine to somehow trick the Avengers into believing Wolvie still supports their Agenda I just can't forgive this issue and the complete contradictory behavior that (insert any and all of the dozens of writers responsible for this event) have provided for Wolverine.

To say something positive about this issue, the opening with Wolverine wearing a dead Polar Bear to keep warm while following a trail of Beer left by Hope was great.

At least Uncanny X-Men had a good tie in issue that somehow manages to integrate good story development on their end.

Which is ironic since it was Cap that threw him out and yet he goes crawling back to Cap. Hopefully there will be more to this. I do think the X-Titles are doing a better way of tieing in with AVX and AA is the only one so far out of the Avenger's books that's doing it as well. And ya that was the best thing out of AVX #4 was Wolvy wearing the skin of the polar bear.
