Parental Advisory
Ed Brisson, Mike Deodato Jr., and Frank Martin are making Old Man Logan matter so much more than just a side note in the Wolverine continuity. Stunning layouts, a thoughtful script, and brutal violence solidify this series among the best at Marvel. Read Full Review
Old Man Logan #33 does an excellent job pushing the "Scarlet Samurai" forward with an emotionally drive issue. Ed Brisson continues to make Logan's personal struggle at the forefront of the story as he does all he can to save his first love, Mariko Yashida. Adding in Silver Samurai's conflict with Gorgon and the Hand further magnified the importance of Logan and Mariko's relationship. Having Mike Deodato Jr. along for the ride just made the story even better with how he brings Brisson's story to life. Read Full Review
WIth Mariko alive and seemingly free of the Hand's control, what now? This issue leaves a lot of questions to be answered. As always with this creative team, the synergy is on-point, and I'm still "on the edge of my seat", anxiously awaiting the next issue! Read Full Review
OLD MAN LOGAN #33 might feel familiar in moments, but still provides some of the best characters and action on the shelves. Read Full Review
This story has been the equivalent of mixing everything good, pure and awesome from your childhood in a boiling cauldron, drop kicking it into a wall and allowing the crash to create a beautiful mural. Ed Brisson writes a solid story allowing for all those wonderful troupes. Samurai, Ninjas, Damsels in Distress, Drugs, Long Lost Loves. What more could you ask for? Read Full Review
Part 3 of the Scarlet Samurai story isn't the most original comic you can get on the stands; but it is a fun, straight-forward Wolverine tale the likes of which we haven't seen in quite a while. Read Full Review
This arc delves into Logan's Japanese history more deeply than any Wolverine comic in years, including bringing back some pretty major characters. So why isn't it connecting more strongly? A lot of that comes down to the mediocre depiction of the Gorgon as a blowhard, Cobra Commander-like villain with an overly complicated evil plan. Read Full Review
OML strikes an "would be unlikely if the whole arc hadn't been bending this way" alliance with the Silver Samurai as he takes the fight to Gorgon. This story still has a decent structure with the potential to be good, but for every promising development there's a clumsy line or a bit of artistic shortcuttery that pulls it back to average at best.
