Not as good as the volumes Jeff Lemire set up, but this is still a fun, quality Wolvie comic.

This one left a lot to desire. I don't really know what to say. Maestro Hulk was annoying.

I enjoyed the story, but it kinda ends on an anticlimactic note. There this huge fight and plot, then… everyone just runs away/comes to their senses. I would’ve preferred another issue or two to really ramp up the story and have consequences. As it stands, the only deaths are characters who were already dead in the original timeline. I’ll be interested to see if any of the characters introduced here come back in future stories, but I kinda doubt it. Everything in this volume seems to be done at the service of the story at hand.
Good volume, just wish the ending was better.

When I learned that Old Man Logan was continuing uninterrupted, but without Lemire or Sorrentino, I was concerned about what we would be getting in vol. 6. After the satisfying conclusion to Lemire's run, and without the creative team that shaped this series, I worried I would be disappointed.

It turns out that my concern was not really necessary. Brisson and the rest of the team begin a new arc of Logan's story with volume 6 by bringing echoes of the original Old Man Logan comic to the forefront. Logan's time in the wastes are present, not only in the details of the story, but in Deodato's art and the overall tone of the volume.

With the reappearance of the feral hulks Logan had previously battled, this volume maintains a harsh and brutal tone consistent with the original. Additionally, Hawkeye's return reunites Clint and Logan for another adventure--albeit in a way that balances Logan's existence as a part of two different worlds.

In hindsight, I can't help but wonder what might have been achieved if Brisson had taken Logan in a new direction, rather than having him again face the conflicts of his past. And as well-done as the story is, it never quite rises above a certain level of impact and complexity. It's not a volume that astounds, but it does satisfy in every way I wanted it to.

So, overall, I am happy with the continuation of Logan's story. The change in creative team is evident throughout, but there's enough strength and potential here that I enjoyed reading this on its own, and I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

An interesting direction for it all to take, but boy, pretty graphic in a couple of places that I wasn't expecting. Almost reads like a horror book at points.

Old Man Logan vs Old Man Hulk (Maestro) + the conclusion of the Hulk gang. Makes up for the action missing from the last one. The story is also fantastic.

A surprisingly good continuation of Lemire's amazing run. While most of this volume is a big battle, it was cool to see (a) Maestro as an OML villain. Really enjoyed Hawkeye's involvement, especially the short talk that closes out the volume. Deodato's art is honestly amazing. I haven't read anything this recent with his art, and he's evolved his style a lot since I last say him on Brubaker's Secret Avengers (which is probably almost 10 years old by now). I really like a lot of the stuff he's doing, and it's very faithful to Sorrentino's style from Lemire's run. Fun book, look forward to reading more of this run.
