Old Man Logan (2015) #2

Old Man Logan (2015)

by Brian Michael Bendis, Andrea Sorrentino (Artist)

He may be an Old Man, but never before has the world needed Logan as much as it does now. The people he loved have become mere memories. The world that he loved has decayed, becoming a festering Wasteland. But in a world devoid of heroes, even someone who is the best there is at what he does may find themselves overmatched by evil.

About the author

A 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.

50 years ago Old Man Logan slaughtered the X-Men after being tricked by Mysterio's illusion. Today Logan climbed a wall fell to a different side and ran into something that simply can't be real.


Old Man Logan apparently hasn't had to suffer enough because he's fallen into world where Sabertooth is alive as well as the X-Men. Not only that, but they are all young. It appears Doom placed Old Man Logan's universe into it's own section of Battleworld. His universe seems practically the same as ever unlike many of the others that are part of Secret Wars.

It's not clear where Old Man Logan is heading, but as #2 ends it appears as though Logan should have just stayed in bed that morning.

Now I'm back to being confused. I keep checking to see if I missed a volume in here because I'm not sure how we came to this portion of the story. In reading the other reviews I can see I'm not alone in feeling this way. Not sure how to proceed. I'm at the point where I'm not going to put a lot of effort into trying to find the next volume of the series.

Confusing as fuck. And the fight scene "cliffhanger" felt tacked on. Completely unnecessary. Anyway, let's see where this goes, but this particular issue was Meh.

Read as part of the Wolverine: Old Man Logan, Vol. 0: Warzones! trade paperback.

The collective review for the entire Old Man Logan: Warzones! storyline can be found on my review of the Wolverine: Old Man Logan, Vol. 0: Warzones! trade paperback.

Better than the first one and the timeline discontinuity could present an interesting moral dilemma, however I have doubts this comic will go that direction based on Logan's very black and white inner monologue, of which this comic consists of almost entirely. Amadeus Cho's Hulk was the best part of this issue.

Okay now I'm lost! First issue was easy to understand but.... i just didn't know what the hell was going on in this issue!

The art is great on this, as usual, and there's some action, at least, but the story veers all over the place and Bendis feels like he's phoning it in all the way.

Interesting possibilities as Wolverine meets the X-Men from an alternative universe 50 years in past.
