Storyline: Old Man Logan ( Part 2 of 8 )
Date: July 30, 2008
Price: $2.99
Writer: Mark Millar
Artists: Steve McNiven

Synopsis: Logan owes the Hulk Gang. He owes them big, and they’re not the kind to let a debt slide, even for the guy who—50 years ago—called himself Wolverine. So Logan’s agreed to a crazy ride across America with the blind archer, Hawkeye, to deliver a package to the East Coast. First stop: San Francisco…but only if Logan and Hawkeye can make it past—the GHOST RIDERS. MARK MILLAR and STEVE MCNIVEN—the best-selling creative team of the 21st century—continue the biggest Wolverine story the future has ever seen!

Opinion: “Old Man Logan” rolls on through the tail end of summer and Mark Millar brings his vision of Marvel’s future back into harsh focus right from the first page.  We get another glimpse at the new “Amerika” and see the progress of Hawkeye and Wolv…err, Logan as they cruise from Hulkland to The Kingdon of the Kingpin in the Spider-Buggy.  This issue is a solid continuation of the introduction we got last month, with good progression and thought-provoking story elements that fill in the mysterious gaps of this plot.

Storyline: Old Man Logan part 1 of 8
Date: June 18th, 2008
Price: $2.99
Writer: Mark Millar
Artist: Steve Mcniven

Synopsis: Nobody knows what happened on the night the heroes fell. All we know is that they disappeared and evil triumphed and the bad guys have been calling the shots ever since. What happened to Wolverine is the biggest mystery of all. For 50 years, no one has heard hide nor hair from him…and in his place stands an old man called Logan. A man concerned only about his family. A man pushed to the brink by the HULK GANG. A man forced to help an old friend—the blind archer, HAWKEYE—to drive three thousand miles to secure his family’s safety. Get ready for the ride of your life, Logan.

Opinion: What an interesting book.  Mark Millar once again weaves an interesting tale, disassembling a character we all know so well and presenting an altogether different person for us to get acquainted with. I’m not always a fan of Millar’s work, a lot of the time I have mixed feelings about his plots, but this one starts off on such a new and different foot, it’s hard not to be enthralled.
