Better than the previous volume, surprisingly. There was no way this book could go on for very long without some sort of Japan connection, and although it strains credulity that Logan and Maureen could have sailed there by themselves, it also makes sense that Logan would want to find sanctuary there.
Volume 3 combines Old Man Logan #9-13. For once I am a bit miffed by the money I spent. This was not worth $9.99.Well this was a bit of a letdown from the previous volumes. I feel like I grew up reading about Wolverine's adventures in Japan. It would have been nice if it was a new location and/or the X-Men or Avengers came along for the ride. So after volume 2 I thought Logan would adjust to the fact that the Fall of New York and other things were not going to come to pass. That he would work on...
Wolverine heads to Japan. Logan is on the trail of Lady Deathstrike after the events of the previous book. There he encounters the Silent Order, an organization he dealt with in his past, our possible future. This follows the format of previous volumes with the story flashing back into Logan's past as he deals with the present. I liked this. It didn't have as much baggage as some of the previous stories. Because they were new characters, it felt fresh to me.
As I read the third volume of Old Man Logan two things came to me. This series keeps missing the mark of being great, only ever being "Good". And that they are extremely quick reads and this is why I love Marvel Unlimited. So what's happening with our old man logan? Well he's going to Japan of course. Needs to find lady deathstrike. Doing so he gets caught in a trap. Then we jump back and forth between current time in the main universe and his world back in the days before his wife/kids were bru...
Volume 3 felt like a filler episode to me with a shallow story arc and too much action. Sorrentino is still giving his everything and created some fantastic two-page spreads. Still fun, but pretty forgettable in the end.
Old Man Logan works fine as a standalone book but as an ongoing title? Nope. And I think at this point Marvel should just stop because Jeff Lemire’s clearly run out of ideas. So the unmemorable story of Logan hunting down Lady Deathstrike takes him back to, of course, Japan where he has to fight some arbitrary warrior monks because what else is he gonna do? It’s so dull. It’s just Logan slicing and dicing his way through dozens of people. It’s really edge of your seat stuff when your protagonist...
More hardship from Logan's past is revealed. The story begins with his need for revenge, but soon turns into a fight for survival. The epic battle at the end is followed by an unexpected twist concerning his foe. Logan still has the willingness to help those in need and does so even if they threaten his life.Logan gets a snich to reveal Lady Deathstrike's location. He wants to punish her for what she and the Reavers did to Naureen's town. He finds her in chains and is ambushed by the Silent Orde...
What in first look seemed like an unnecessary filler episode, connected the side quest to canon through damn fine story telling. The Last Ronin involves two opposing narratives, and both are approaching the Wasteland saga or Millar's original run from past and future. One may question the Japanese obsession with Wolverine story lines and Akira like mutants though.This book contains the most gorgeous panels in this series, provided you have an acquired taste for Sorrentino's art.
Liking Old Man Logan better then Wolverine!I am catching up on the Old Man Logan collections. I have now read Good 0, 1, 2, and now 3. Just two more to go to catch up. I like these stories and do not miss the Old Wolverine at all. But sooner or later I am sure the two Logan's will meet.
4.5 stars. This run continues to impress. Lemire is really on his A game here. After the atrocity Lady Deathstrike caused in the last volume, Logan goes after her, following the trail to Japan. There he realizes she was used as bait to lure him there and now he has to go up against the Silent Order. What’s also amazing is Lemire gives us more back story with Logan and Maureen. Giving a look into their misadventures leading up to where we found them at the beginning of the original Old Man Logan
Unable to escape the claws of violence or destiny, Old Man Logan heads straight into the dragon's den only to confront an inevitable truth regarding past, present, and future. While there's an intriguing idea at the heart of this volume, it's the execution, muddled by an odd alternation between past and present narratives, that leaves much to be desired.Concluding writer Jeff Lemire and artist Andrea Sorrentino's run with this finale to their trilogy, it ultimately was an interesting experiment
This series got old fast. I would prefer a bigger story arc. This read like a filler episode for a TV show that's trying to create more episodes than it needs. Art is still good and in you're a huge Wolverine fan, it is probably still worth reading. Otherwise pass on this.
Jeff Lemire seems to be stuck when it comes to Old Man Logan. Each story arc rehashes the same idea over and over without progressing the story very far.In this third volume, Logan heads to Japan to kill Lady Deathstrike after her actions in volume 2. Meanwhile flashbacks reveal how Logan's trip to Japan with Maureen in the Old Man Logan timeline went down.The flashback is actually the more interesting plotline as it fleshes out a relationship we're meant to care about in the original Old Man Lo...
This was an epic volume!Its pretty much Logan going to Japan to find Lady Deathstrike and well information PATCH-ing (I know lame joke but) and things going wrong and then reaching Japan and battling this villain group called by "The Silent Order" led by a guy named Sohei who wants to protect the silent ward and well we see how Logan's past/future self knows it and its a fascinating story and the whole thing is awesome and when the two intercross it leads to a great story and a great fight betwe...
I continue to love this series. The art is great. The story is great. It does feel a little short/simple just because the story is so contained, but so much about this series and this version of the character just works. It's a great creative team and I love the work they're doing here.
Logan is forever going to be my favorite superhero. He is damaged, haunted, and crumbling yet he always does the right thing.Even now in these comics, when he has a second chance, he takes it. He is trying to right all the wrongs that he did. What I loved about this volume is that it is a parallel timeline. You see what he did in China before he became old and jumped timelines, and he see what he is doing now. The art is just as beautiful and the story is such a great one. You already know the e...
Parallel-universe-Secret-Wars-Logan goes to Japan, fights some ninjas, falls down a hole A LOT, then ends up guest-starring in the finale of Akira. I just... can't bring myself to care. Sorry (not sorry).
Okay, the quality took a dip in volume 2, but it's back up now. Better yet, this volume is all Lemire’s Old Man Logan, no filler stories to pad it out.Wolverine has always had a special relationship with Japan, so it's not surprising that this story is so memorable. On the trail of Lady Deathstrike, he arrives in Japan only to discover that he's been lured into a trap. We also get flashbacks (flashforwards?) to the alternate future he came from that parallel the action. It's a nicely constructed...
2 stories one in the present one in the past. The past leads onto the original Old man Logan issues. However both stories involve him battling the order in Japan. Good fun, the art is still amazing. I really love the graphic style from lemire and sorrentino.
