50 years ago the heroes of the Marvel Universe were massacred. During that battle, something so traumatic happened to Logan that he hasn't popped his claws since. Finally, the darkest chapter in his history can be told!
I found this to be a wonderfully written issue. The scenes where we see how Wolverine was broken and then killed himself were actually quite beautiful. The Old Man Logan story arc has been well worth the cover price. If you still have not given this Old Man Logan story arc a try then you should definitely pick this story arc up when it is released in trade paperback format. Read Full Review
The story also did a great job in explaining why Logan has become the peace seeking man he is today. What he did to the X-Men was just plain horrible, and I couldn't fault Wolvie for laying his head on those train tracks. The worst part was that Wolverine wanted to punish himself in the worst way for the slaughter of his teammates, but thanks to his adamantium bones and his healing factor, not even a train running over his head was enough to kill him. Whew, what a deep comic. Read Full Review
Whilst there are some problems with the logic of this issue (I'm not sure that the villain most responsible for Logan's defeat could attack him in quite the way that he does here), it packs an emotional punch that's hard to escape, and for that reason it achieves its goal. This issue gives the entire "Old Man Logan" arc a tragic emotional core that will retroactively enrich earlier issues, and will give the Logan's character more dramatic weight as Millar moves the story towards its conclusion.

Oh and wait until you see the last page… I'd almost be shocked, but that sort of madness is typical in this arc. One can only wonder what's next. Read Full Review
As much is there are some slight problems with the book's pacing, it's difficult to be that hard on a book whose last page depicts a Tyrannosaurus Rex possessed by Venom. As in so much of "Old Man Logan," Mark Millar is awfully good at showing us awesome things we didn't even know we wanted to see until we saw it. Read Full Review
Wolverine #70 rocks as long as you don't think about it too hard. That said, in regards to the grade, I still have to acknowledge the lingering disappointment that exists in the wake of the big reveal. My suggestion? Just open it up, soak in the bloody visuals, and enjoy the ride… Read Full Review
A masterpiece. Very tragic and emotional story. Yeah, all these edgy comics are full of one-shots, when powerful characters are killed like nothing, but it's still far from Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe. Still freaking far...
Wolverine 70 is gloriously bloody and action-packed, yet it’s all driven by Logan’s love for his family, something Logan doesn’t have in our universe. McNiven knocks it out of the park once again with the art.
