Mark Millar and Steve McNiven - who last teamed for the monumental Civil War - bring us the most important Wolverine story of the 21st Century. 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!
Collecting: Wolverine 66-72, Wolverine Giant-Size Old Man Logan

It’s a classic, I guess
Wait, what, a mutant with super sharp blades growing out of his hands and who can't be killed pledged against violence? This won’t end well.
The art is good enough and quite detailed most of the time, but Wolverine always has some strange look on his face and in a couple panels some details were out of focus. Dialogues and action are mostly good but to me feel a bit confusing in some places. Overall the story, atmosphere and action episodes are very dark and violent. And all the famous heroes and villains are very old which looks interesting. But the f-word is censored for whatever reason, this makes no sense here.
Also to me some character moments feel like fan service—Hulk's descendants are evil landlords, Hawkeye is blind—, maybe because of how these things are spoken instead of just shown and sometimes are even repeated. And some famous Marvel characters can be seen in the background. Although an episode featuring other hero’s suit is quite interesting and fun.
But then the villain just tells all his motivation during a fight. And that happens more than once. What? Why? I guess, it’s a feature of superhero comics.
Yeah, I’m not a Marvel fan but at least this has a more interesting setup than the movie.
This is one of the most interesting of the darkest timelines. I am onboard for struggling pacifist Logan. Also adored Hawkeye being angry he is alive because no one thought him a threat. It's definitely a wild ride. Fair warning, the gore level is way higher than my usual reads
