When you move, you have to take your baggage with you. Joining the rest of the X-Men, Wolverine makes the trek to their new home in San Francisco, California. For much of his life, Logan's past has been a mystery, but now, after regaining his memories, Wolverine has more baggage than he can carry. Upon arriving, Logan goes to the center of San Francisco's legendary Chinatown to resolve a mysterious incident from his past. Although his last visit to the neighborhood was a full 50 years ago, Wolverine isn't the only one who remembers. As another piece of his violent past is unearthed, the mutant finds himself facing off against the deadly Black Dragon Death Squad. Collects Wolverine: Manifest Destiny #1-4, X-Men Manifest Destiny: Nightcrawler #1, X-Men: Manifest Destiny #1-5 (Iceman, Nightcrawler, Boom-Boom, Avalanche)… (more)

This is a collection of one-shot type stories, with a Wolverine story being the primary material, and two Nightcrawler stories being the second largest additions. The Wolverine is a cool kung-fu type story set in China town of San Francisco. ( )

This is a collection of non-related stories that deal with the X-Men moving to San Francisco, and how some of them are adjusting to the move. I don't think there is anything in this volume that would be missed if it was to be skipped if you are reading through the current story lines. Not a necessary volume at all, in my eyes. This may sound harsh, but the best part for me about this volume is the Michael Turner cover. ( )

The last one was Fables metafiction ruined by misogyny; this one is character spotlights ruined by halfassedness. A series of X-Men faves including Nightcrawler and Iceman find ways to have little meaningless adventures that could have been fun if they weren't so siilly--Nightcrawler, e.g., goes back to Winzeldorf and it's still this ridiculous medieval caricature with pitchforks, as opposed to what it should be--a prosperous Bavarian village with a Spar supermarket and Boerse. Iceman makes all the same discoveries about his powers he made in 1994, and then again in 2001. Mephisto shows up pointlessly. Feh. ( )
