OLD WOMAN LAURA BEGINS! In the not-too-distant future, the world is a utopia where heroes have succeeded in bringing peace worldwide. At the head of this utopia is none other than Laura Kinney, who's passed on her mantle of Wolverine and is living her best life as Madripoor's benevolent queen. But a long simmering evil will force Laura, out of retirement and back into the blue-and-yellow. This final journey will take everything Laura has to give….maybe even her life.

I didn’t think I’d like this arc going into it, because I thought it was going to be based more on Old Man Logan, but it was actually really cool and unique!
Gabby makes quite an impression as the new Wolverine. Her suit looks Tron-ish. She says that it is made of "Stark grade graphene and Wakandan Vibranium". It is impervious to most high level attacks, but strangely a weapon featured in the comic was able to make a dent. Thanks to a notorious somebody from Latveria.
I was surprised to see some familiar characters take up government roles in the "not too distant future". Also, there is another sibling in the Wolverine family, who is missing and mind-controlled! Talk about the wheel of Time!
Old Woman Laura, are you kidding? It should have been called, “Sorry we’re out of ideas, but you seem to like Old Man Logan, so here you go!” Even though the storyline is different, the premise is getting well, old.
