Warning! Spoilers for Wolverine #10 below.
Even Wolverine's friends seem to think he's been brainwashed by Krakoa. For most of his life, Logan Howlett hasn't exactly been a follower. After all, after being the test subject for Weapon X and Department of H, he's been betrayed more than most. It took him years to adjust to his role within the X-Men. However, Wolverine has become such a dyed-in-wool believer of Krakoa, that his Team X comrade Maverick thinks he might have drunk the proverbial Kool-Aid.
Wolverine #10 by Benjamin Percy and Adam Kubert sees Wolverine and Maverick busting out of the Legacy House as the bidding war for the superhero black market turns into an actual war zone when American agents storm the proceedings. Fleeing through the street of Madripoor, Wolverine wants to go back to Krakoa but instead Maverick insists they be extracted through his team-for-hire, the Mercs. Wolverine reluctantly agrees as they are airlifted out of Madripoor. Afterward, Wolverine and Maverick hit one of the Merchant's warehouses and proceed to destroy his supply of superhero paraphernalia.
Maverick is ittedly impressed with Krakoa, as Wolverine explains that The Five can help him regain his powers. But Maverick isn't having it though, explaining he's not interested in ing a cult when he already likes who he is to begin with. Logan continues, arguing that after being "Mongrels of no nation" they finally have a country of their own. He entreats Maverick to follow him, jokingly saying "We could head down to the Green Lagoon? The Kool-Aid ain't half bad once you give it a try." Maverick rebuffs the offer, replying "Are you listening to yourself? Because you sure don't sound like the Logan I know."
Maverick is not entirely wrong, either. The mutant nation has seemingly helped Wolverine find more peace, even beyond what he was able to find at Xavier's school. Still, Wolverine becoming the poster child for Krakoa is clearly a bit stranger, as Maverick notes. Beyond this, Wolverine's never been much of an ideologue, preferring to spend his time in the trenches. Is Wolverine truly in his correct state of mind?
Of course, Maverick's perspective isn't without its faults either. Though he parts with Wolverine on good , he later meets with the very government agent who led the charge on the Legacy House for a potential business arrangement. The agent wants to know where exactly his loyalties lie, but Maverick has always been on his own side. The issue ends without revealing exactly what his answer was, but it might not bode well for Wolverine in the future. Regardless, Maverick's perpetual self-interest certainly clouds his judgment as to what Krakoa could offer.
Whether Logan is a True Believer or truly has been indoctrinated somehow remains to be seen. It's also unknown in what capacity he will cross paths with Maverick again - as friends, enemies, or somewhere in-between, as is likely the case. Still, one thing is for sure - Krakoa has made a serious impact on just how Wolverine sees the world.
