Goodness gracious! What a wild world & wild ride. I haven’t read any other marvel comics so this was an interesting place to start lol but it was fun (and also a terrifying world - no thank you, cannibal hillbilly Hulk).

In a post-apocalyptic future, supervillains from the Marvel world have taken over and tailored the United States of America to suit their preferences.The majority of heroes are either silent or deceased.In order to provide for his family, Wolverine sets out on an adventure alongside Hawkeye. You find out later in the narrative why Wolverine vowed never to pop his claws again.
This one got off to a slow start, but by the conclusion, it was really killing it (both gorily and literally). Among the graphic books I've read thus far, this one is the most violent. Very nicely carried out.

In spite of the ending being only slightly predictable, the writing and art for this book was fantastic! The grittiness of the realm they created here was enthralling, as well as how they imagined Logan, Clint, and Bruce in a post-super-team world. I couldn't but it down when I began reading; it was a page-turner!

'Wolverine: Old Man Logan' by Mark Millar with art by Steve McNiven is a graphic novel I had never read but I'd heard a lot about. Since I saw the movie 'Logan' over the weekend, and I'd heard they were connected, I figured it was time to finally read it.
The two properties share a similarity in tone, both being dark and brutal. Most of the superheroes and mutants are gone and Logan remains. Both are excellent stories. This is where the similarities basically end.
The story in Old Man Logan has a Wolverine that is basically a pacifist, and hasn't been known as Wolverine for over 50 years. He is married, and has children and just wants to be left alone. He also wants to make enough rent to pay his savage landlords, and that's where this story starts. He is visited by an old friend and offered a job helping to take a package across the country. When you hear this sort of setup, you know things are not going to go well. They don't.
The road trip is across a vastly changed America, and you do find out why Logan is so against letting the claws out (and he has a very good reason). I'm trying to entice you with this story without giving it away. It's a very good story.
This story would have been a distraction as a movie, and it would have lost it's impact. Additionally, this graphic novel includes characters that belong to different studios, so untangling that would have held the movie in limbo for years. 'Logan' is a very good, albeit violent, movie. Go see it. 'Old Man Logan' is an incredible graphic novel with quite a story to tell. Read it.

El dibujo es bueno, la historia se cuenta apresuradamente y se dejan de lado ciertos hilos. Como aparecen muchos personajes, me parece que sin conocer del mundo MARVEL uno se perdería.

Logan, antes Wolverine es un súper héroe retirado. Tiene mas de 50 años sin sacar sus garras. Pero ha llegado la hora de la venganza.

Rarely does a comic book leave me breathless; this one did. Fast-paced, viscerally drawn. This is a masterpiece of a buddy road trip story. I had a few issues with the plot towards the end, but not enough to diminish my overall enjoyment.
