Comic Book Reviews Quickie comic review: Giant-Size Wolverine: Old Man Logan No. 1
Posted By Carlton Hargro on Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 2:45 PM
Published by Marvel Comics. Written by Mark Millar. Pencils by Steve McNiven. Inks by Dexter Vines.
The Deal: Writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven wrap up their multi-part tale of Wolverine in the future ... with a giant-sized bang.
The Verdict: As far as I'm concerned, Millar is responsible for churning out some the best Wolverine stories ever — tales that capture the true bad-ass nature of the character like no one else. Millar did it first with his 12-part Enemy of the State storyline. And it looks like he's created another classic tale with Old Man Logan. A futuristic Western of sorts, this adventure drips with blood, violence, tragedy, death and — in the end — hope for a better future. I loved this thing. Let's pray Millar and McNiven craft a sequel.
