Old Man Logan #36 is a great start to a new story arc. The art could be a little better, but Brissons story is so good, if a little cliche, it still engages the reader. The whole set up for this story arc is pretty intriguing. If there is ever a weakness to Wolverine/Logan stories, its that they fall back on the same types of villains, usually ninjas, shadowy government agents, mutant threats, or old foes with scores to settle. Pitting Logan against the Kingpin, especially the new mayor of New York Kingpin, is an inspired choice. This isnt a perfect book, but its an entertaining read with a great hook for the issues to come. Read Full Review

The bad signage matches the overall level of creativity on display here, i.e., not a lot. This speedy little hardboiled vignette hasn't committed any real sins, but it is running on rails toward an achingly predictable end. If you're looking for a simple tough-guy popcorn comic, this will fit the bill - barely. Read Full Review

First, I must address the art. Despite Old Man Logan's watered down storytelling, the art has been glorious. Seeing Mike Deodato Jr.'s work on the cover compared to the work on the inside was a disappointing couple of opening pages. The art in this book was not impressive. The character drawing was middle of the road, which could be forgiven if the backgrounds were at all inspiring. A noticeable portion of the backgrounds were solid color with no dynamism. This can be a solid artistic choice in contrast to detailed, complex layouts alongside it but the more detailed scenes of this book were not what I've come to expect from a good comic book.

Like most first issues of a new story arc, Old Man Logan #36 was a bit on the boring side, using most of the book to set up what's to come. That's expected, so it gets a bit of a pass. What doesn't get a break however, is the idea to try and make a Wolverine story into a political noir. Read Full Review

Logan returns to New York and immediately gets tangled in a murderous mystery that pits him against Mayor Fisk. This is a modest story executed with great skill. Kingpin has to play the idiot to make the plot move, but it's entertaining in its motion. Add on some quiet but impressive art - great faces for both main characters and bystanders - and you've turned a thoroughly average story into something significantly more enjoyable.
