Wolverine: Old Man Logan by Mark Millar
5.0
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.
