I don't want this to end
I can't belive how much I'm enjoying "Old Man Logan." What's not to like? It's written by Mark Millar and drawn by Steve McNiven. That's reason enough to like it right there. There's also a version of Wolverine we haven't already seen a million times plus Hawkeye's in it. The idea that Wolverine hasn't popped his claws in fifty years is intriguing. We still don't know what happened to him and why he is so against conflict. And let's not forget that the Spider-buggy is in it too.
This is the Wolverine story I've been waiting for. Forget Wolverine: The End, this is far more interesting. This is a whole new world. It's a wold that deserves it's own series or mini-series at least. The world has been destroyed and we're getting glimpses of what survived. I love the little touches we've seen so far, like the Spider-buggy and Mjolnir. I do want to know, who is Tonya's mother? We're told that she's the youngest of Peter Parker's daughters.
In this issue we do get to see the Kingpin and more of Ashley, Hawkeye and Tonya's daughter. We also get to see some serious fighting. I was actually surprised at some of the scenes of violence. I suppose there is the "parental advisory" on the cover versus the "rated A."
Only three issues in and I'm already planning on buying the trade paperback when it comes out. This is a story that I want to have handy. Wolverine may be a huge pacifist now but you know he's bound to explode and just cut loose. I can't wait to see what other parts of this world will be shown to us.
Because of the writing, art, and surprises I have to give this a perfect score. It may not be the "perfect" comic but I'm enjoying the hell out of this ride.
