Reads as a nice follow up to Mark Millar's Old Man Logan book. Logan suddenly appears in Times Square of the current Marvel universe. After he gets his bearings, he decides to kill every villain who threatened his family in the future. A nice romp ensues from there. Good, gritty art by Andrea Sorrentino. It's overpriced though, as it's $17 for 4 issues plus a reprint of an issue from Mark Millar's run.
Nice start to the series. The first volume definitely points to a worthy successor for the Mark Millar original outstanding story.
3.5 starsOld Man Logan wakes up naked in the 616 universe with no memory of where he is, or how he got there. So. Basically, for him...it's a Tuesday.Instead of sensibly realizing that he's been transported to a different earth, he assumes that he's traveled to his past and been give a second chance of sorts. Yay! Now he can stop his dystopian future from ever happening!So, like an unhinged Santa, Logan is making his list and checking it twice...Ok. His list of Who To Kill leads to a confrontati...
Old Man Logan finds himself in the past.Logan is embracing his second chance and is determined not to let his future come to pass.I liked Berserker overall, but I think I would have liked it more if I read it prior to beginning Extraordinary X-Men. Chronological order is important. So Logan has decided to annihilate the people who ruined his future to make sure it never happens. Logan is good annihilating things.This volume is a good bridge between the Secret Wars Old Man Logan series and the st...
An intriguing redemption story giving a defeated Old Man Logan the chance to fix things once and for all, no punches pulled. While this first volume takes most of its time to set up the character and the world, there's the promise that things will get much more interesting. Andrea Sorrentino's art works wonderfully with this narrative, beautifully capturing the destabilizing sensation of loss and confusion.

This didn't work for me on an emotional level. There are multiple flashbacks that are supposed to make us care about Logan's grief and his handling it by taking revenge, but they are all flat and generic. I really enjoyed the artwork though.
The Wolverine that we know and love...May be a little soft in his old age...But when his country calls...Err.. his world calls, his claws will come slashing! Now, what if, for some weird reason, if Logan is transported in time/worlds and can change the horrible past/see how a different world is?Well, let me back track. So bad guys took over. Good guys became bad guys. World is crap.Hulk had children. They are all evil. You have evil, green-super-human-things destroying whatever they want to dest...
Despite the “1” on the spine, this is technically a continuation from a previous Old Man Logan graphic novel, probably the one by Mark Millar advertised on the inside back cover. All you really need to know, though, is that the titular Logan has apparently traveled back in time from a dystopic future. Intent on avenging his murdered family, he sets out to find the people responsible. Or, I guess, who will eventually be responsible. It's not a bad setup, and it soon becomes apparent that Logan’s
One of the best Logan's stories in years, and the one talking hated Millar's Old Man Logan.Lemire & Sorrentino are a great team, giving us back everything made the character great and striking the reader at the heart.If this volume included issue #7 with the ending of the Deathstrike/Marauders mini-saga, this was going to be a 5 star review. Luckly I've read it as individual issues and had not to wait for vol.2 to be released to read the awesome epic finale. And the Dark Knight Returns reference...
This was okay. Basically Wolverine from Old Man Logan is here to kill people. If you didn't read Old Man Logan go read it. It's stupid as fuck but also really really fun. So now that Wolverine is in the regular world he starts killing people who screwed him over. That works out not so well as one guy isn't even there, Hulk isn't Bruce, and later on he finds out he's dead. Kind of fucked up huh Wolvie? The volume ends on a sour note and now we wonder what Wolverine's life will be. Sadly I don't c...
Catching Up on the Old Man Logan stories!Amazon is selling most of the Old Man Logan collections for only $1.80 or $2.20 each. So I picked up Volumes 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5. From that point on i collected the series with paper comics. I had a lot of questions that hopefully will get some answers to. I like this version of Logan. Just not crazy about another time traveling muatant.
6.1/10If you liked vol.0 then you probably will like this one too.
Awesome!! Real cool revenge story. A little short. Millars old man logan looks like something I could definitely dig.
Just when I’d written off Jeff Lemire he comes out with a really good superhero comic - and of course it’d be for a fellow Canuck like Wolverine! Old Man Logan is the best Wolverine story bar none. Originally a standalone (and I know this is a DC term but it’s fitting) “Elseworlds”-type story by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven from 2008-09, the character and world was revisited in a Brian Bendis-written miniseries during last year’s Secret Wars and now it’s an ongoing. Not realising he’s in a diff...
Ah, gawd, but this book was so pointless.The Wolverine from one of the multitudinous Warzones from Secret Wars has somehow magically appeared in the main Marvel Universe (it's not explained how; maybe they'll touch on it in future volumes, but I doubt it). Please note that this is not the Wolverine from the original Old Man Logan story, but rather the Wolverine from the watered-down Secret Wars alternate version of that story... not that it makes much difference, I suppose.I'm no more a fan of G...
After the flawed Brian Michael Bendis-penned Secret Wars tie-in in order to place the former Wolverine into the main Marvel continuity that is Earth-616, Jeff Lemire begins his run on the ongoing Old Man Logan series. Following the literally world-bending cataclysm that was Marvel’s 2015 big event miniseries Secret Wars, Old Man Logan suddenly wakes up in a world that has not yet become the Wasteland. Believing he has time-travelled to his past (because that’s what the X-Men usually do), Logan m...
I read this because I saw Jeff lemire wrote it and am always hopeful he will write a Big House (Marvel) superhero comic (versus the indie stuff he does better). I am usually disappointed in this quest, but this was good, maybe 3.5, though I don’t really care a whole lot about this alternative universe, and the dialogue isn’t all that great, but the idea of having someone—Logan-- go back in time to the present to try and change the course of a history that would seem to be disastrous for a lot of...
I'm really enjoying this run written by Lemire. I'm reading the single issues (thru 8 as of now) which is more than this volume covers. Lemire picks up with Old Man Logan showing up in normal Marvel continuity after the Secret Wars destroy the multiverse. He thinks he traveled back in the past so he sets out to stop the future he experienced with the villains banding together to kill all the heroes. The art works really well here for the most part. Looking forward to reading more. I bought into
Reread: 27/11/2021Its still a solid series and I love the way it unfolds and the way he goes against the Black butcher and we bounce between his past in the wasteland and present in marvel 616 and his face off against Hulk and then team up with Kate and Steve and how he is content now and the way the story deals with PTSD is amazing and gives hope to a character who lost it and is a great start to Logan in 616 and also loving the way they explore his mindset atm and the art is gorgeous and just
It was okay. Would rather have skipped the origin story. Well, it could have been told in 5 panels or less. This whole book seems a bit unnecessary. Rather just have Old Man Logan get on with integrating with his new world. Developing supporting cast. A hook for the book past another x-man from the future sent back to stop ruination of the world. Rachel, Cable, Bishop, Nate... Been on this road before.The day after I wrote the above, I've come back to add that I think Old Man Logan will be a ver...
