Dead Man Logan Vol. 2: Welcome Back, Logan by Ed Brisson
4.0
Bringing Logan back to the Wasteland really was the right choice at this point. The grittier and more focused story really allows the character of Logan to do what he does best--survive and protect those closest to him.
Even having read the original Old Man Logan, this volume brings in some fairly unsettling violence that felt like a bit more than was necessary. Also, without some new direction, this is a premise reaching the end of its time--just like Logan himself. And with that in mind, Brisson, Henderson, and the rest draw this chapter of Logan's story to a close in dramatic fashion.
Dani makes for a great character, and this volume draws from the original graphic novel more than most previous entries in the series. It brings things full circle along with some satisfying dramatic twists.
While something about Brisson's run with the character never quite lived up to what we've seen before, "Welcome Back, Logan" is a strong, emotional finale to Logan's current adventures, delivering final notes that are satisfying and true to all that has come before.
