I’m sure that many of us can think that having a healing factor can be easily one of the coolest powers. Some say they hurt him like no one ever hurt before. This is a TPB collecting the storyline 'Old Man Logan', originally published in the comic book title 'Wolverine' (Vol.3) #66 to #72 and 'Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size'. I guess that puts it squarely in the dystopian/cowboy/slasher genre? Brilliant! Just remember to put on your Big-Boy pants when you read it, because there are some disgusting moments in this thing, and they are all depicted with hideously beautiful artwork. Which means if you want the real story, you're gonna need to read this sucker.Ī violent 'what if' futuristic tale with lots of gore, and just a pinch of the wild west in it. And from the look of the movie trailer, it's only loosely based on the source material.

I won't ruin the story by giving away any of the details, but I will say that the details are incredible. He wants Logan to help him navigate the Spider Buggy across the country, and for that he's willing to pay enough money to set Logan's family up for a long time. After taking a beating, Hawkeye (now blind) shows up and offers him a job. The Hulk gang (<-cannibalistic offspring of Bruce Banner) runs the area Logan lives in, and he's short on the rent money. Older, with a wife and two children that he loves, he just wants to be left alone with his family. Something that broke him completely, and made him vow to never fight anyone again.

Something happened to him on the night that the heroes lost. The United States has been divided up between the most powerful baddies, and there's nobody left to challenge them. The story is set in a dystopian future where the villains won. I read this 7 years ago and absolutely loved it.in all its violent, tragic glory.Īnd with the movie coming out soon, it seemed like the perfect time to do a re-read and see if this could stand the test of time and nostalgia.
