Old Man Logan And Secret Wars

mgid-uma-image-mtv

Last week Old Man Logan joined the Secret Wars universe!

The story picks up after the conclusion of Mark Millar and Steve McNiven's critically acclaimed story which follows Wolverine 50 years into the future of one of the possible Marvel universes.  Logan is essentially the last of the superheroes due to all of the big baddies of their universe pooling together to take them all out.  In Logan's case, Mysterio convinces him that he's taking out a bunch of villains that have attacked Professor X's mansion, but it turns out Mysterio tricked him into slaughtering all of his friends.  Logan vows never to shed his claws again, and settles into a passive life.  The United States is then divided into separate territories between the biggest of the bad guys. 

I won't go into more of the story just in case you haven't read it yet, and if you haven't, you really need to!  This first issue to be released was a little slow, but I'm guessing that they just needed to set everything up for where they are going to go with the story.  Even though it was a little slow, the art work is, again, fantastic!  This is definitely one of the comic book titles that you should be collecting!  If you are familiar with the original storyline of Old Man Logan, and you've read the new issue that came out last week, let me know your thoughts.  Instead of leaving them in the comments section below, though, email me at comconocave@gamil.com.  That way if people reading this aren't familiar with this story, we won't give anything else away!
