Old Man Logan #22 did a fantastic job getting over what "Past Lives" is all about. Jeff Lemire was able to make Logan's sense of uselessness as he was unable to change his past to give him some strong character progression. That character progression is only furthered by Eric Nguyen's artwork that does a great job complimenting Lemire's story. Now things are set-up for "Past Lives" to be a great final arc for Lemire's run on this series. Read Full Review

I was hoping for a little more from Lemire's final arc. Read Full Review

Old Man Logan has been the flagship for the X-Men titles for months now, keeping the fans interested in the mutant universe while Marvel scrambled to get the rest of the comic line up to snuff. Now that the launch has happened, it might be just in time to allow the Logan team a moment to relax. This comic is still one of the best runs Wolverine has ever had, but this current storyline is the weakest offering we have seen from this writer and creative team. Read Full Review

A continuation of a stylized romp through Wolverine's history. While it's fun and gorgeous to look at, there's no suspense or tension. Each scene is little more than a brief shot of something that Logan has no control over. However, the art and nostalgia carry this arc enough that it doesn't feel like filler, despite knowing we're halfway through it and have almost nothing new to show for it.

I mean do we really need to go through Wolverine's history like this. I did think the kiss scene was a little heart felt but I don't know I just feel like something is missing.

Its a pity, this is Jeff Lemire's swan song. The idea was a good one as a transitional piece, but I question the endgame. If the theme of OML is moving forward, then traveling back to the future, heh, is the wrong way to go. Some of the blame can go to Andrea Sorrentino. Bailing on this last arc is not endearing. I'm of the mindset that if an artist can't draw five or six issues in a row, at least half a similar styled and talented artist accompany him. This isn't the case. Eric Nguyen is by no means bad, but he also isn't anywhere near Sorrentino's talent.

Logan is on a no-free-will tour of Wolverine's greatest hits. This month: His debut fight, the Phoenix, Mariko, and Madripoor. The discovery that he can't make any changes on his trip down memory lane is nearly as depressing for us readers as it is for him. Jeff Lemire could have written a better reaction for Logan; resigning himself to being fate's plaything is a sad choice. Eric Nguyen's art is similarly disappointing: Just good enough to remind us of Andrea Sorrentino but not good enough to really enjoy on its own. (I particularly miss Mr. Sorrentino's inventive layouts.) This might be a tolerable quiet spell when the story is collected in trades, but it makes for a very "blah" read as a single issue.
