Parental Advisory
The new team of Ed Brisson and Mike Deodato Jr is taking over with issue #25. I know that both of these creators are highly accomplished in their own right when it comes to comics, but the bar has been set so high by the departing Lemire and Sorrentino that I'm not sure anyone has the chops to follow or surpass this historic run.

An emotional end to Jeff Lemire's terrific exploration of Old Man Logan. Read Full Review
Ultimately, this issue repeats what's now become a well-worn theme - the idea that Logan has to stop living in the past. But it's a worthy sentiment all the same, and hopefully one the incoming creative team will bear in mind. Read Full Review
OLD MAN LOGAN #24 is a touching issue. Jeff Lemire writes some tearjerking scenes. While the artwork from Eric Nguyen and Andres Mossa is choppy at times with characters, the overall tones and shades work for the issue. Read Full Review
This is a great issue to end the miniseries. It's about time Logan moved on, and he's kind of forced to do so in this issue. For any Wolverine fan, this issue isn't one to miss out on. Read Full Review
Who knows where this series will go with Lemire leaving, and with the proposed Marvel Legacy series coming out one wonders how much longer this character will be staying in this universe. Lemire left this series as a solid ending point so if Old Man Logan were to fade into the distance it would actually make sense. At this point I simply wonder what stories can still be told. I do not envy those who have to follow this act. Read Full Review
Perfect arc. Perfect ending.
Terrific ending to a terrific storyline by JL. I actually felt that one in my gut and that doesn't happen often. True sendoff!!
Great ending to a great story!!
Jeff Lemire's run ends with a beautiful, bittersweet story that lets us see Logan happy for once, even if he, and we, know it's fleeting. This is a great end to Lemire's work with the character, as it ends with Logan seeming to accept that he has a right to try and find some happiness in this world. Also fantastic is the art of Eric Nguyen, who I think was a revelation in this series, especially this issue. I love his style and can't wait to see where he turns up next.
I love when a comic book gives me the feels. The last two pages hit hard and I love it. I just wished the whole story was a cheesy clip show montage. I didn't really care for Nguyen's art either, I felt that he couldn't match Sorrentino if he were trying to do that. Well it was a great send off for Lemire and looking forward to see what the new writers have for us next.
This storyline has been receiving a lot of praise, but I dunno. The concept was great on paper, but in the end it wasn't much more than the comic equivalent of a clip show. And although the last issue offered something fresh, it was mostly the good old trope of Logan shedding his cynicism to start believing again, only to have it pulled away from him in a cruel twist of fate.
OML gets a classic lesson: You can't go home again. It's given an uplifting spin and Logan is ready for bigger and better things. Logan's next adventure will pass to a new creative team, and Jeff Lemire says goodbye with a heartwarming but very safe script. Eric Nguyen's art continues to ape the weakest part of Sorrentino's skill set - his figure drawing - and ignore the part that actually makes Sorrentino great - his inventive layouts. This ends up being a satisfying conclusion, but it would be over-charitable to ignore the fact that this title has been appallingly paced since #19 and weakly illustrated (like "barely better than a prose-only script" weak) since #21.
