Wolverine: 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.
