For most of the book, McNiven’s art is easy on the eye and has such intense detail, it feels more like a film than a comic. This may have been why I enjoyed Death of Wolverine much more than most readers. ![]() Mark Millar’s story for Old Man Logan is a very heavy undertaking it’s dark, violent, and extremely original with an outstanding identity that shines above a lot of Wolverine’s past, present, future – even his death, which we saw not long ago, was illustrated by the same artist as this series, Steve McNiven. It also happens to be one of my favorite graphic novels of all time – and definitely my favorite Wolverine story ever. Lucky for us, the story does not follow a domesticated Logan. Despite Wolverine vowing to not fight for most of the novel, the action within is intense it’s one of the more violent Marvel stories in recent years. This story follows an old Wolverine who seemingly has not SNIKT’ed his claws in over 50 years, and now lives on a farm with a wife and kids. ![]() Both volumes have very iconic writers helming the stories, with the original volume being written by Mark Millar of Kick-Ass fame. This series was just one short story among the long-running Wolverine Volume 3 comics, but it was by far the most iconic arc of its run – so much so, it got a second volume for the recent Secret Wars event. With the multitude of Marvel and DC events that happen each year, I have found it is actually quite rare that a story comes along like Old Man Logan that completely encompasses nearly everything I love about superhero comics. ![]() Scorecard (Each category ranked on a 10-point scale) Writer: Mark Millar ( Kick-Ass, Civil War, Ultimate Fantastic Four, Marvel Knights: Spider-Man)Īrt: Steve McNiven ( Death of Wolverine, Civil War, Meridan) ![]() Characters: Wolverine, Hawkeye, Hulk, Red Skull
