3.5 stars.Interesting, but I think I'm starting to lose steam on this series.

The past coming back to haunt him is something that Old Man Logan has gotten uncomfortably familiar with since his trip through time to our present – but he wasn’t counting on it happening quite so literally. When a routine visit to Japan ends in a confrontation between Logan, the Hand, Gorgon, and the Silver Samurai, Logan is shocked to find a new player on the board – who is the Scarlet Samurai, and why does she seem so familiar?I’ve said it before, and I’ll probably say it again before this s...

Ed Brisson just delivers a more standard Wolverine story--the weight of Old Man Logan or the alternate timeline doesn't so much weigh on this one. It feels like a nostalgia read for 90s error Wolverine and his overly ornate Japanese-inflected backstory. The Scarlet Samurai seems to want to inject some Claremont-era continuity with bringing both the Silver Samurai and Mariko Yashida and to capitalize on the Marvel Netflix focus on the Hand as antagonists, but it comes off as rushed and sloppy. Th...

It's difficult not to judge these later volumes against the quality of Lemire and Sorrentino's original run. Overall, it feels like the series is struggling to keep up momentum. The writing in Vol. 7 is fine, but never really rises above a certain level. Similarly, the art remains stylistically similar to what came before--and it's good art--but it hasn't quite achieved what made this series such a stand-out early on. It's a series I'll keep reading. I like the character, and I like the concept

Old man L. Japan. Madripoor. (view spoiler)[Mariko (hide spoiler)] back from the dead and baddies fighting over a regenerating drug. Yawn. You can read this book or play ping-pong or catch some zzzzs. The two latter might be funnier though.A contrived and far-fetched plot-what was Gorgon's plan with Scarlet Samurai already?, out-of-place characters-(view spoiler)[Mariko (hide spoiler)], Silver Samurai- and neurasthenic stakes-Blimey! Will OML's overused healing factor kick in time?- are the loos...

Like he does, Logan’s putzing about Japan waiting for the latest Marvel hack to give him something to do, when he stumbles into the midst of a gang war: the Silver Samurai’s manufacturing a new illegal drug, Regenix, that temporarily gives users a healing factor like Wolverine’s, and Gorgon wants control of the supply because of an ages-old feud between his people and the Samurai’s. Oh man, Logan’s in yet another shite comic! I don’t know what it is about working for the Big 2 but it seems that

It seems like a return to Japan for Logan, and the resurrection of a lost love, should be a bigger deal than this, but it's kind of handled in a ho-hum manner. The art is variable again, with a switch in artist, plus as has also been mentioned, Mike Deodato's work seems to be degenerating somewhat. Still, not a terrible outing for Logan/Wolverine.

Too-dark art makes for a tedious, eye straining read, but the storyline offsets some of the dreariness, not with it's tone, which is equally black, but with its generally excellent construction.

If you're going to do a Wolverine "Legacy" story, Japan and Madripoor are good places to start. Brisson pits the Hand and Silver Samurai against one another with Logan trapped in the middle. The last thing Marvel really needed was yet another return from the dead of an X-Men supporting cast member, but Brisson handles it well here. Mike Deodato while a talented artist, has made his art so dark, with so much duotone and small panels that I find myself squinting at his art. It's certainly a direct...

Pretty much the cover gives it away..They. Brought. Back. Mariko..Despite this typical Marvel BS, the might hand of Brisson creates a great story as Gorgon and The Hand run rampant, with only Old Man Logan, Silver Samurai and Scarlet Samurai able to stop them..Brisson is fast becoming my new fave Marvel scribe. 7 out of 12.

This was epic oh wow and brings together so many things and the return of someone truly special!Clan Yashida have developed a drug named Regenix thats like a healing drug and well the Hand are after it and also some Thunder Gang steal it from them and sell it in Madripoor and well Logan finds himself in the middle of it. Silver Samurai, leader of Clan Yashida vs Scarlet Samurai, Hand's new ninja and well Logan there and when Gorgon reveals who it is.. it changes his life and its connected to his...

After a great last volume this one came up short big time. I wish I could give it a better rating but this story, anytime Wolverine Visits Japan, just doesn't click with me. I don't care about the side cast or anything to really do with Wolverine's internal struggle with his lost love ones and revival of certain ones. A 1.5-2 out of 5.

This is getting low reviews but I thought it was good. I enjoyed it. I’m a huge fan of Jeff Lemire but I honestly think brisson is doing a better job with old man logan. I’m gonna keep reading for sure. 4 stars.

Public library copy. I think this the only other title I've read written by Brisson aside from his Iron Fist run and similar to that book this one delivers the goods with a nice spin on Logan's history from the 80's. The Mike Deodato art makes this an automatic read and together they made a title I haven't been as fond of since Mark Millar teamed on it originally with Steve McNiven. Mind you, there may be gaps with my reading of this title as I can't believe 7 have been published by now. Other w...

Brisson does a good job of bringing together a lot of Marvel's Asian mythology, including the Silver Samurai, the Hand, Madripoor, and even the Gorgon. Altogether, it forms a nice setting for this story, and makes it feels more like a coherent whole.Now the shocking return, it's a little harder to decide how to feel about that. To a certain extent, I feel like this return is a well-done one (though the X-Men really, really didn't need another returned character). But, it served the needs of the

3.5 stars. Logan discovers this gang using the new drug giving them an advantage. Tracking down where it came from leads him working with Silver Samurai taking on Gorgon. Also someone form Logan’s past is resurrected by the hand. Classic Logan vs ninjas to destroy any traces of this new dangerous drug. Solid story.

Didnt love this as much as the last volume but definitely started growing on me by the end.

This short, but powerful tale deals with Old Man Logan heading off to Japan for some peace after last Volume's dealings with the Hulk Clan. Fans of Logan know that Japan rarely holds peace, however. This time is no exception....Attacked by ninjas of The Hand, Logan fights back, but finds something odd that needs investigated when a chopped off arm of one of the ninjas grows back very quickly. Regenix, a new drug, has incredible restorative capabilities and is being used and controlled by The Han...

This was my least favorite volume so far. The art was still top notch, and really the story wasn't bad either. My main issue was the resurrection of Mariko Yashida. Characters rarely truly die in comics, so when they do die and stay dead a while it's a major deal. Mariko has been dead a while now, and in doing so her death truly had meaning. Now she's back and out in the world again and all of the drama in her death seems like a waste. While I do agree that the way she was brought back was logic...

This story tries to show some Japanese traditions, mafia and cool samurai stuff, but ends up being just another superhero story with swords. It could have sucked a lot less, but they went for a 90's feel, so if you're a fan of the older Wolverine series you might enjoy this volume more than I did. The ratings aren't looking good for future volumes, so I'll leave this series behind. I feel there are better comics out there.Logan returns to Japan after having not visited the place in many years. Y...
