WOLVERINE: OLD MAN LOGAN TPB
Written by MARK MILLAR
Penciled by STEVE MCNIVEN
Covers by STEVE MCNIVEN & MICHAEL TURNER
Millar. McNiven. Wolverine. It doesn’t get any better than this. The only way writer Mark Millar (Wanted, Kick-Ass) could top his all-time classic Wolverine tale “Enemy of the State” was to take it to the future —his Civil War brother in arms, Steve McNiven, handling the art duties! Fusing the dystopian super-hero elements of the X-Men’s “Days of Future Past,” the wild and wooly futurescapes of Mad Max, and the tragic pathos of Clint Eastwood’s archetypal Western heroes, Millar’s tale finds Wolverine at a crossroads with who he really wants to be and who he really is.

It hasn’t started yet and I’m already sick and tired of the vampire storyline… Did they have to add vamps in the Ultimate U as well?
At least 9 titles cover Shadowland, I’ll drop Daredevil right now, too bad, it was a good read.
Too many titles. Too many crossovers. Too much, too much.
I feel on the verge of only looking for titles that are self-contained, even if it means abandoning titles I enjoy, but I am not sure there is such a thing.
I like the cover for New Mutants #17 though. Illyana at her ferocious best.
Agreed re: vampires. Not at all interested. Agreed as well re: the number of titles and crossovers. Way too much.
