About the author
Brian Michael Bendis
4,408 books2,574 followersA comic book writer and erstwhile artist. He has won critical acclaim (including five Eisner Awards) and is one of the most successful writers working in mainstream comics. For over eight years Bendis’s books have consistently sat in the top five best sellers on the nationwide comic and graphic novel sales charts.
Though he started as a writer and artist of independent noir fiction series, he shot to stardom as a writer of Marvel Comics' superhero books, particularly Ultimate Spider-Man.
Bendis first entered the comic world with the "Jinx" line of crime comics in 1995. This line has spawned the graphic novels Goldfish, Fire, Jinx, Torso (with Marc Andreyko), and Total Sell Out. Bendis is writing the film version of Jinx for Universal Pictures with Oscar-winner Charlize Theron attached to star and produce.
Bendis’s other projects include the Harvey, Eisner, and Eagle Award-nominated Powers (with Michael Avon Oeming) originally from Image Comics, now published by Marvel's new creator-owned imprint Icon Comics, and the Hollywood tell-all Fortune and Glory from Oni Press, both of which received an "A" from Entertainment Weekly.
Bendis is one of the premiere architects of Marvel's "Ultimate" line: comics specifically created for the new generation of comic readers. He has written every issue of Ultimate Spider-Man since its best-selling launch, and has also written for Ultimate Fantastic Four and Ultimate X-Men, as well as every issue of Ultimate Marvel Team-Up, Ultimate Origin and Ultimate Six.
Brian is currently helming a renaissance for Marvel’s AVENGERS franchise by writing both New Avengers and Mighty Avengers along with the successful ‘event’ projects House Of M, Secret War, and this summer’s Secret Invasion.
He has also previously done work on Daredevil, Alias, and The Pulse.

Old Man Logan has continued fighting against the villains in his world after he exterminated the Banner family. Logan's world has desperately needed a hero since nearly all the heroes were murdered decades ago. This world is fortunate to once again have someone willing to fight back against evil.
The first thing that stood out for me with Old Man Logan #1 is the artwork. The artist has a distinct style that varies greatly from the mainstream.
I've never been too into overly graphic violence in comic books, but seeing the horrid people Logan is fighting against makes it feel more acceptable to see.
I've always been a fan of Wolverine so seeing a different version of him is a treat.

This was one bad ass comic! I'm a big fan of Mark Millar's Old Man Logan and this kind of continues that story. The art and coloring fits the story perfectly. It's all very violent and gritty. I'm always into post apocalyptic stories and this is no exception! It's great to see the Marvel or a Marvel universe all gone to hell. The art really fitted the typical Wolverine action which is very feral and bloody. I'm looking forward to issue 2. This is now my favorite Secret Wars tie in and I'm really happy this title will go on after Secret Wars ends!

Excellent! So first off this does take place after the original old man Logan Graphic Novel, so make sure to read it before reading this! As a continuation of the story it was pretty well done and as a secret wars tie-in, it doesn't seem to have much to do with it, which I like! The New Creative team does a great job, interesting to choose Bendis to replace Millar, Bendis definitely has a lighter approach to Millar which wasn't bad to see. The Art all though not as nice as the original art, was still well suited for the book, the paneling in certain scenes was done quite nicely! Overall a well done sequel!

Gritty and dark, this story gets better and better as it goes. There's nothing tame about this version of Logan (was he ever tame?) and sometimes the art leaves me a little bit shaken. But there is a lot of depth here even if the pace of the story continues to be slow. I guess some things really can't be rushed. Will definitely keep reading.
As a note, I was able to pull my husband into this series and now he's hooked too. We're sparring over who gets to read the next volume first.

You know I love a Brian Michael Bendis. And an otherworld yarn in the vein of Serenity? Yes please. I've never heard of Sorrentino, but the double page "Snkt!" Had me hooked. Love the monochrome. Love the lines that remind me of the best of Jae Lee. Can't wait to see what happens in the other side of the wall. Though I can't help but feel like I missed something. Maybe it's just full on "in medias res"?

The world of comics and superheroes, especially ones who have a degree of immortality to their characters like the X-Men's Wolverine, lend themselves to alternate universities and timelines. In some ways, they're our modern myths. And so we have a (finally) aged Wolverine, going by just his name of Logan, in a post-apocalyptic wasteland in which he's lost everything. Part western, part X-Men story, this is a lot of fun, and I'm even more interested to see what the upcoming "Logan" movie will do using this film as a basic structure.

I'm not a fan of this series.
I thought I would like it more since I liked the movie Logan. Essentially this comic details Logan in a world where villains won and most heroes are dead. He's still fighting back as always even though he has aged.
I'm not intrigued to find out more and I'm not a huge wolverine fan to begin with.

Moronic piece of crap
This is a waste of 99 cents. There is no plot, no character development, no beginning and no end. Do not buy this useless ca-ca.

Pretty decent start to a story's end.

I wasn't crazy about this book but it is the lead in to the series and is necessary for anything to make sense

Another good Old Man Logan. Can't decide which to read first. This one or Lemire's?

This book was a little more difficult to identify and digest than many of the other Secret Wars tie ins.
In this, an aged Logan first confronts an odd poker game full of super hero posers. Next is a walk across the desert where he discovers an old Ultron head and meets a woman named Cage who is caring for a hulk baby. Finally, we get a little back story from Emma Frost who we discover is dying. The leads Logan to decide to head over the wall into the Deadlands.
The first and third stories here were actually pretty interesting. Seeing the fake superheros and then descovering the reality was pretty cool. Then the Emma Frost shape changing from Jean, to a young version of herself, and finally to her dying form was and interesting way to go with the early story.
The art was interesting, but my appreciation of it came and went. In fuller panels, it had a cool, gritty edge to it. However, in mare sparse panels it seemed a little boring and sloppy, making things occasionally difficult to see.
Overall, one of the better tie-in's so far, but certainly up and down all around.

Old man (post)
This story takes place after the original "old man Logan" where logan/james had already killed Banner and the hulk family. Without a family, but the child he had taken from the hulk, and his old age this story begins with him investigating an ultron headpiece in which the one in the original story board was Ultron #5 but he came across #8's head. This is just the introduction so expect a very grim version of the future that wolverine had left behind.
To know more about this series, I suggest reading the original story first as this is a continuation, and it looks great so far.

Uno de los objetivos de Secret Wars y Convergencia es que la gente se interese por leer colecciones antiguas que son revisitadas en estos eventos. En el caso de Marvel, hasta ahora la única serie que cumple con eso es Old Man Logan. El dibujo de Andrea Sorrentino es perfecto para el tono de esta serie.

Logan is angry. Logan wants revenge. Logan attacks people who haven't done anything yet because he's caught in some time travel loop and determines that's the right thing to do. I suppose this comic is solid Wolverine, but at this point we've just seen so much of the same that I just can't bring myself to care about the same story again.

Was a sequel really necessary? I still don't know, but it felt like 'Old Man Logan' right from the beginning. Which is a very good thing.
Great art, great story so far, can't wait for the next issues.

I want more! Beautiful art, great panels, and the story is pure Logan. This is my first peek into the "Old Man Logan" series and I will be going back to read the others issues.

If there's one reason, one reason only to read this comic, it's Andrea Sorrentino's pencils and Marcelo Maiolo's colours. Okay those are two reasons, but they're well worth it.

The art is gorgeous, but Bendis' story is a little lacking in content and originality.

Feel like I just repeat myself over and over but this series is very good!
