Havok & Wolverine: Meltdown #[nn]
In "Mexican Standoff," Havok and Wolverine find themselves in a deadly crossfire during a vacation in Mexico, fleeing gunmen only to be pursued by laser-wielding mercenaries. When a mysterious woman they’ve picked up suddenly turns on them, the situation takes a shocking turn—Logan wakes up in the hospital, told Alex has died of plague, only to discover the truth is far more twisted. Written by the Simonsons and illustrated by Jon J. Muth, Kent Williams, and Sherilyn Van Valkenburgh, with colors and inks by the same trio and letters by Bill Oakley, this 1990 Marvel thriller blends action, betrayal, and eerie mystery.

Alex and Logan are vacationing in Mexico when they are forced to abscond with the car of a beautiful woman to escape from Mexican gunmen (she comes along for the ride). Their peril continues as they are chased by goons with lasers whom Havok dispatches with a few well placed plasma bolts. No one is more surprised than our heroes, however, when their new girlfriend pulls out a gun and shoots them. Wolvie wakes up in the hospital to learn that he and Alex were pumped full of bubonic plague and Alex has died. Suspicious, Logan digs up Alex's grave to find a dummy in the coffin.
