Mark Millar and Steve McNiven, the legendary Civil War duo, reunite for a brutal post-apocalyptic saga featuring a broken Wolverine in a dying world.
A future world savaged and sundered by super villains, the United States ain't what it used to be. In California, now a wasteland controlled by the evil Hulk Gang, the former Wolverine seeks to live in peace. He's retired, finally free from the violence of his former existence as an X-Man - and he wants to keep it that way. If only they'd let him.
Logan and an aged, blind Hawkeye are forced into a cross-country jaunt through villain-ruled lands, on a collision course with the worst of them all! Can Old Man Logan maintain his pacifist vow and make his last stand without doing what he does best? Mark Millar and Steve McNiven unite for a riotous romp through a future world of death, despair and dynamic action!

About the Author :
Mark Millar is the New York Times best-selling writer of Wanted, the Kick-Ass series, The Secret Service, Jupiter's Legacy, Nemesis, Superior, Supercrooks, American Jesus, MPH and Starlight. Wanted, Kick-Ass, Kick-Ass 2 and The Secret Service (as Kingsman- The Secret Service) have been adapted into feature films. His DC Comics work includes the seminal Superman- Red Son. At Marvel Comics, he has written The Ultimates, selected by Time magazine as the comic book of the decade; the acclaimed Wolverine saga "Old Man Logan;" and Civil War, the industry's biggest-selling series in almost two decades. Millar has served as producer and executive producer on previous adaptations of his works and, following the purchase of his Millarworld comic line by Netflix in 2017, remains the company's president. For his services to film and literature, he received the prestigious honor of being made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) by the Queen in 2013.
Artist Steve McNiven parlayed a chance trip to San Diego Comic-Con into a position at CrossGen Comics, where he quickly earned a regular assignment on Meridian. When CrossGen ceased publishing, McNiven moved on to Marvel Knights 4 with writer Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Next, he joined Warren Ellis on Ultimate Secret. In 2006, McNiven and Mark Millar shattered the Marvel Universe's status quo in Civil War. His next assignments included Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers and the initial story arc of Amazing Spider-Man's "Brand New Day" era. McNiven and Millar reteamed for "Old Man Logan" in Wolverine and the creator-owned Nemesis, published under the Marvel Icon imprint. With Ed Brubaker, McNiven helped relaunch Captain America; his later Marvel work includes Guardians of the Galaxy with Bendis and Uncanny Avengers with Rick Remender. McNiven cemented his reputation as one of the all-time great Wolverine artists on the climactic series Death of Wolverine.
Review :
“Old Man Logan not only stands out as one of the greatest Wolverine stories ever told, but it’s also among the wildest, most innovative and gripping, jaw-dropping, earthshaking, character-redefining runs in comics history. Mark Millar’s writing is constantly surprising and slyly big-hearted. Steve McNiven’s art is gritty and spectacular. If you’re revisiting this story, prepare to be swept away all over again. And if you’re reading this for the first time, I’m jealous as hell, bub.” – Benjamin Percy, award-winning author of The Ninth Metal, Red Moon, and The Dead Lands and writer of Wolverine, X-Force, Ghost Rider, and The Punisher
“One part glimpse into the dystopian future of the Marvel Universe and one part buddy comedy…culminating in a bloody battle as fierce as and Logan had ever experiences.” – Matthew K. Manning, author of The World According to Wolverine and Wolverine: Inside the World of the Living Weapon, from Marvel Year by Year: A Visual History
“Nobody crafts a comic-book story around big, outrageous spectacles quite like Mark Millar. And of all Millar’s big, outrageous comic-book stories, none are quite as spectacular as Old Man Logan.’ – IGN
“Revel in this comic’s imagery, embrace its absurdities and enjoy.” – CBR.com
“A bold take on an interesting future for the Marvel Universe that any Marvel fan should be reading.” – Comics Bulletin
