It's almost shocking to see this level of violence and gore in a non-Max Marvel title. Old Man Logan's showdown with The Reavers (with the life of a young, parallel universe version of his wife at stake) gets to be absolutely gruesome. Read Full Review

Old Man Logan is ultimately a nexus of several different genres that would initially seem incompatible. It is in equal parts a post-apocalyptic story, western, and samurai story. Even though Logan isn't in his world anymore, the part of this world in which he finds himself is essentially the wastelands. The way that this world operates against him and the way violence is so intrinsically apart of it feels right out of a Sergio Leone samurai-inspired spaghetti western. Wolverine himself is a post-modern samurai, with one of the beautiful opening panels paralleling Logan with a ronin, and with the next issue having an explicitly samurai-themed title. Besides, Wolverine as a character has always been tied to Japan. At the nexus of all of these disparate elements, Old Man Logan thrives, and after getting past a few issues of mindless action it's pretty clear why. Read Full Review

A gloriously drawn issue that establishes motivation for Old Man Logan. Both the character and the book. Read Full Review

love this series. It's everything i ever wanted from a Wolverine comic!

It really didn't follow the contrived plot points. It came at a wonderfully delightful and chaortic twist. Lemire is a really great match for Wolverine. And Sorrentino and Maiolo when focused on the task produce remarkable pieces of art.

A sweet conclusion to another solid arc. I feel like this book is grossly underrated and by grossly I'm not just talking about all the blood and guts ol' crotchety Logan spills on a surprisingly regular basis. It's beautiful raw.

Old Man Logan is an entertaining read dragged down by what's becoming an ongoing problem at Marvel: Writers disregarding developments established by OTHER writers to make characters fit their stories.

Lady Deathstrike is perhaps one of the worst one-note characters in Marvel. She only ever has one motivation: Make Logan miserable because Weapon X used her father's adamantium bonding process on him. She's honestly even worse than Sabretooth, because at least Creed has his "kill or be killed" nihilism to fall back on when he's not tormenting Logan. It becomes even MORE egregious in this book, because Deathstrike's last regular appearance saw some wonderful development by Charles Soule. She finally made her peace with Logan, and even carried out a revenge mission in his name by recovering the Honor Sword of Clan Yashida, and laying it to rest in a graveyard Logan established for fallen friends and enemies. She then received further development in Wolverines, helping to actually flesh her out into a more fully-realized and complex woman than she's EVER been.

All that development is tossed aside without explanation. Deathstrike is after Logan once again simply because he's alive.

That leads to perhaps another significant issue with the book: It really comes across as Lemire just wanting to throw Old Man Logan against as many classic Wolverine adversaries as he can. It comes as a forced retread of battles Logan has already fought time and time again. I'm now wondering how long before Lemire runs him up against the reformed Sabretooth.

The artwork is still gorgeous, and Lemire does a wonderful job presenting Logan as tormented and weary of all the fighting. Unfortunately, the situations he finds himself in have become no less tired. Old Man Logan seriously needs to find some new ground. more
