Wolverine has been retired for fifty years and the world has gone to hell in a hand basket. Logan and his family are behind on rent when Hawkeye shows up, blind and needing a navigator for a cross country trip. Can Logan and Hawkeye cross a United States ruled by super villains?I've been hearing about this one for years. However, Wolverine is not my favorite character and Mark Millar is a hack. Anyway, with Logan coming to theaters soon, I thought it was high time I read this. I was sold when th...

Wolverine is a pacifist? Wolverine is old?Wolverine is one of the last superheroes?Yeah. Great story. I know I shoulda gotten around to this a lot sooner then I actually did...but good things come to those that wait.And this...most certainly is a good thing.Also...Hawkeye is pretty f'ing awesome in this book.I'm looking forward to seeing how Old Man Logan is going to fit into the marvel universe once all this Secret Wars stuff settles down. I know it's going to be great because Jeff Lemire (one

!5 amazing stars!Yesterday, I saw the second trailer for the upcoming Logan movie, featuring an older Wolverine. To tell you the truth, I wasn't expecting much as I was disappointed with X-Men Origins: Wolverine. And let me tell you that I loved everything and every second of it. So I just had to know more: what's the story about? What inspired it all? That's how I ended up reading Old Man Logan. Let me tell you right away that it's a whole different thing from what's in the trailer. And it's ju...

Old Man Logan does for the bad-ass superhero what Unforgiven did for the outlaw cowboy: it traumatizes him, retires him, removes him from his violent past, turns him into a farmer, but then forces him to take on that one last job... and throws in a few dystopian Mad Max landscapes for good measure. So does it work? Well, the story feels a bit derivative and shallow and stagy, but what it lacks in originality and vitality it makes up for in style and design. Old Man Logan may not be the most enga...

في عصر الظلم، في حكم الطاغية، يمكنك ان تبقي رأسك منخفضا، تمشي جنب الحيط زي مابيقولو، لكن إن كنت تظن ان هذا سيجعلك في مأمن من الظلم، زبانية الطاغية، فأنت مخطئIn a world ruled by tyrants, you can keep your head down, but that won't keep their heads turned away of you..Recommended by the Greatest Wolverine ever, Hugh Jackman..since his movie's loosely based on it.Unlike the movie, the setting here is even darker..a mix of dystopia..Here, Old Man Logan is just an old man only caring for his family,

I am a complete sucker for any kind of Days of Future Past style stories because if there’s one thing I love more than reading about an elaborate fictional construct like the Marvel universe it’s reading about the destruction of all the heroes that populate it. Go figure….So even though reviews by friends like Brandon and Stephen put this into three star territory I was revved up to try it. Surprise, surprise. Three stars from me, too.The main idea in this is pretty bad ass. The major Marvel sup...

Also available on the WondrousBooks blog. This was recommended to me strongly by my comic book guru boyfriend so I knew from the start that chances are big that I will like it. And I did! A lot.Right off the bat I should say that I haven't exactly been in the Wolverine fandom, despite having seen all of the movies that include him. That means I wouldn't have decided on my own to start this volume at all. But ultimately the story is great! It's different from other things that I've read and es

It doesn’t get any better than this!!! This is a TPB collecting the storyline "Old Man Logan", originally published in the comic book title "Wolverine" (Vol.3) #66 to #72 and "Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size".Creative Team:Writer: Mark MillarIllustrator: Steve McNiven A LAND WITHOUT HOPE Some say they hurt him like no one ever hurt before. I’m sure that many of us can think that having a healing factor can be easily one of the coolest powers,......and maybe we aren’t wrong, but......

How bizarre that my review and rating disappeared! Grrr...Found it on another website thank goodness! The absolute best. I honestly can't imagine someone leaving this less than 5 stars, unless they don't like Wolverine that is. I Knew he was in there somewhere! SNIKT! Logan 2017 can't come fast enough...5*****

I read this 7 years ago and absolutely loved it...in all its violent, tragic glory.And with the movie coming out soon, it seemed like the perfect time to do a re-read and see if this could stand the test of time and nostalgia.The short answer?Yup. It's still a fucking fantastic book.The story is set in a dystopian future where the villains won. The United States has been divided up between the most powerful baddies, and there's nobody left to challenge them.Well. That's not entirely true.Logan's...

Hell yes. Probably the most badass comic I've ever read, let alone a combination of tragedy, existentialism, biography, other-world, and revenge. Mark Millar gets Wolverine, and this is now one of my favorite Wolverine comics. I've read a good number of other-world stories but this is probably the coolest. Fifty years into a dystopian sci-fi future. Wolverine? He's dead. Logan's just a farmer. And it's brilliant, fresh, violent, and even poetic.I've never heard of Steve McNiven, but like any il

Fifty years ago, the super villains got their act together, teamed up, and wiped out the supes. Today, the U.S. is balkanized and California is run by the Hulk** and his brood of inbred, trailer park hillbillies. **California used to be the Abomination's territory but...yeah, Hulk SMASHED him. Living with the Beverly HULKbillies is a pacifist farmer named Logan, who hasn't snikt his claws or said "Hey Bub" since the night the heroes died.  Something horrible happened to Logan that night, some...

Fifty years ago the villains won. They teamed up together and annihilated the super heroes.Few survived and those who did are no longer super heroes. One hero in fact became a pacifist.Old Man Logan is a depressing dystopian future mini-series where the villains killed the heroes. Hawkeye and Logan survived, but now Hawkeye is blind and Logan just wants to take care of his family. Unfortunately with villains running things simple things like not paying the rent could lead to being killed so Loga...

Had I read this before seeing the recent Logan movie I may have enjoyed it a little bit more. The film, however, was just so much better than the writing here. It deals with the consequences of what near immortality and invincibleness can do to the soul, and it explored the relationship between Logan and Xavier in a remarkable way. Xavier had become almost a farther like figure for Logan, which is sort of ironic considering he was actually younger than him by almost 100 years. But it was still t...

3.5 Stars How good was the Logan trailer you guys? It gave me the perfect excuse to finally read Old Man Logan. Although I didn't need much motivation 'cause I've been wanting to read this title for ages.A solo title with a post-apocalyptic marvel setting with Mark Millar's writing? Yeah, sign me up. This is going to be bonkers I thought. And it was.Old Man Logan tells the story of a world where the good guys disappeared a long time ago and America is divided by different villains. Logan is n...

I really enjoyed this roadtrip with Hawkeye and Wolverine even if lots of questions remained unanswered (like htf did Kingpin kill Magneto exactly? And where did all the dinosaurs come from?). The art work is consistently great and the story line moves forward at a breakneck pace. There is a helluva lot of violence and blood here making it unsuitable for younger audiences. Lots of fun though despite the gore and rather pessimistic storyline.

A traumatised Wolverine leaves the superhero world behind to become a farmer and raise a family, calling himself Logan and swearing non-violence for the rest of his life Meanwhile, the grossly outnumbered superheroes who remain are overpowered by a newly organised group collecting all of the supervillains to kill the heroes and divide up America amongst them. 50 years pass and Logan has fallen behind in rent to the Banner clan, Bruce Banner's family who govern their section of America. With the

Despite all the endless violence and bloodshed, with a focused storyline and great concept, Wolverine: Old Man Logan turns out to be a wonderful superhero graphic novel.Set in the future and in an alternate universe where supervillains are the rulers of the world, Logan lives a quiet 'pacifist' life. One day, a friend (Hawkeye) approaches him and asks for a favor. Logan and Hawkeye go on a journey across America, and everything changes... #not-to-be-missed

The story is set in a future post-apocalyptic time period where the super villains of the Marvel universe have taken over the United States of America and embellished it to their liking.Most of the heroes are either dead or keeping a low profile.Wolverine embarks on a journey along with Hawkeye in order to support his family. As the story progresses, you learn why Wolverine swore to never pop his claws ever again. Well, as much as I dislike most of Millar's work, I was surprisingly happy to find...
