Since this movie is in development or so I hear, therefore I decided to read this comic. I had been warned it was dark. How dark? After reading this I realise, it is rather very dark. All of the superheroes are ded almost except a blind Hawk eye who The whole plot was dark bit it was good and the character of Logan without being the savage Wolverine was more of an element of interest than boredom. The art was also very good especially some scenes like the first scene of Red Skull or Pym Falls and to a grotesque level, even the time when Wolverine fights in the end (yes he becomes wolverine by the end duh) is actually goodish. Overall it was a nice comic with a decent art and amazing plot idea but an okayish plot with some question marks in the end.

Millar does a great job of telling a gruesomely violent post-apocalyptic "What-If?" type story of Wolverine and Hawkeye 50 years after the Marvel supervillians successfully ganged up and wiped out the majority of the superheroes.

Wolverine #66: I am a sucker for dystopian futures, especially one where the heroes have failed. I am currently reading the Dark Tower series and I can't help be see a bit of Roland in Logan. Not really a Hawkeye fan, but a blind version does have my interest piqued. The Hulk Family is straight out of the Hills Have Eyes, which is a good thing.
Wolverine #67: So Hawkeye is a dirty old man with several ex-wives. San Francisco is sunk into the ground and Las Vegas is a shrine to all of the dead heroes. Who is the new Kingpin of Crime?
Wolverine #68:
Wolverine: This genius plan o' yours... It would just be smashin' through the walls an killin' everybody, would it?
Hawkeye: Yep.
Wolverine: That ain't genius.
Hawkeye: It is if it works.
Wolverine #69: Pacifist Logan is almost at his breaking point. The moloids are tearing up America at an alarming rate. Hawkeye continues to be the B.A. killing baddies indiscriminately. Halfway through and I can certainly see why Old Man Logan has persevered after nine years. It's already feeling like a classic storyline.
Wolverine #70: Jeez that was a tough one. Logan reveals why he is a pacifist now. It makes perfect sense and is one of the most haunting things I could read in a comic book.
Wolverine #71: I'm too excited to read on. Bye.
Wolverine #72: Wolverine breaks his vow and wrecks stuff.
Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size: Wolverine gets his revenge on Hulk gang in the most brutal way possible.
I don't know how much of Old Man Logan the film Logan will adapt. Most of the characters in this series are under the cover of the MCU. What I really like about this story is that it was mainly covered in the monthly Wolverine title. It reminds me of the 80's where there wasn't 7 books in print of each character. It reminds me of how Batman Year One and Days of Future Past were handled. I think I'm going to let this sink in before I read any of the "sequels" that's been printing the past two years.

Reading this comic really shows how accomplished the movie Logan, which takes loose inspiration from Old Man Logan, is at creating a mood, characters, and cohesive world without relying on worldbuilding. Mark Millar never seems to have gotten beyond his concept treatment for a superhero dystopia here, because he spends more time having characters deliver clunky exposition about how one character died or how another now rules the entire eastern seaboard than having them actually develop as characters we should care about. This really isn't about Logan; it's about being destruction porn, a kind that Marvel has been increasingly reliant on (basically since its conception, but gaining popularity from the 80s through the 2000s.) You have a thoroughly (if haphazardly) created universe of thousands of characters, and instead of dutifully adding to that universe, it becomes 'cooler' (read: edgier) to tear it all down. Yeah, you wanna see a giant Pym skeleton incorporated into the landscape, and a lonely Venom symbiote stalking the badlands, and President Red Skull. Millar uses Hawkeye basically as a snarky guide to this world of death and puts more effort into that than anything else, like an actually interesting arc for Logan. Yes, there is a certain base glee that you can glean from seeing these epochal heroes torn asunder (both figuratively and, well, you know) but the mood of the text is a little too convivial in that gleefulness, to the point that it becomes less of peek into another's vision of apocalypse and more a shared jerk-off session with someone you wouldn't want to be in a room with in any normal circumstances.
But I do have to commend Millar for giving Mysterio the respect he deserves.

I went from the beginning to the end of
Wolverine, having just read Origin. Old Man Logan blows it out of the water. A well-told story with beautiful art and plenty of wit.
The only thing I didn't like was the ending, which I thought sacrificed much of the simplicity and efficiency of the rest of the series just for some ridiculous gore.

Not normally a super-hero reader but this was a lot of grisly fun if you're familiar with the Marvel Universe.
