A triple header: first Kraven decides it's time to put Old Man Logan out of his misery; second Bullseye's gunning for revenge; and best of all, like throughout the series is a story set in Old Man Logan's Wastelands with the coming of the Punishers. I put out my hand and say it straight up - this series needs to be set in the Wastelands; it doesn't work in the main Marvel Universe, he's not Logan, why do the writers write him deep relationships with versions of people he has never met; and why aren't the villains more shocked by how he looks? 6 out of 12, Three Star read.

This was fun. Kraven is a good foil for Logan. I'm surprised Kraven hasn't tried to hunt down Wolverine in the past. Seems like a natural fit. Manna's art is solid. However, he needs to work on drawing damage. Logan's arm gets bitten down on by a dinosaur, yet besides some blood added to his coat afterwards (probably by the colorist in post), Logan seems to be fine. Given his healing factor is supposed to be on the fritz, that arm should have been all mangled.
Bullseye returns in a fantastic story drawn by Juan Ferreya. Everything he draws is brilliant. This guy should be a superstar at this point. The story draws on both Logan and Bullseye's previous encounter fro the last trade and Bullseye's miniseries, Bullseye: The Colombian Connection that Brisson also wrote. Bullseye is a maniac which makes for some amazing action sequences.

This volume as just fun as hell.
First part is having Kraven the Hunter chasing down Old Man Logan. He keeps thinking he's better than Logan and giving Logan advantages and shit but Logan about this show this bitch who's the real predator. Then second half is the return of Bullseye. He did NOT like how their last showdown went and wants revenge in the worst way. Killing everything in his path, Bullseye is a piece of shit to the max, which makes a extremely entertaining storyline.
Good: The fight with Bullseye and Logan is brutal as fuck and great. Actually, there's some action scenes in here that are just wonderfully done. I also think the slowly dying Logan works well here and the dialogue balanced with the action keeps this at a perfect pace of always entertaining.
Bad: I didn't love the Kraven arc, a bit too silly.
Overall, super fun. Brisson knows how to make Old Man Logan and fun and interesting title, mostly due to Logan and his villain of the week. I want to see Brisson do a Bullseye vs Daredevil story really bad now. A 4 out of 5.

Good volume
January 22, 2019
First up, Old Man Logan finds himself stranded in the Savage Land, at the mercy of Kraven the Hunter! Then, Logan goes on the offensive and teams up with superheroes and villains alike to put a stop to Bullseye once and for all!
The Hunter And The Hunted really is a good title for this one. The first two issues put Logan on the back foot - a hero trapped in the Savage Land isn't that big of a stretch of the imagination, but Ed Brisson leans into Logan's failing health and healing factor to make sure that his battle with Kraven is unique. The artwork from Francesco Manna is excellent, strong lines and clear visuals that really make the Savage Land come alive.
Then Logan becomes the hunter, teaming up with some characters from Bullseye's mini from a few years back in order to try and take him down. The interconnectivity of these Bullseye stories really makes the tapestry of the Marvel Universe feel richer, especially since the stories that they're referencing haven't really been acknowledged anywhere else - plus these issues highlight the insanity and the depths that Bullseye is willing to go for revenge. It does get away from Logan a little, with him mostly playing a bit-part in his own series, however. Juan Ferreyra, who has been drawing up a storm over on Green Arrow, pulls out all the stops for these three issues with his trademark double page action spreads lending themselves well to the set pieces Brisson brings in.
Old Man Logan's penultimate volume is another solid entry for the series. It keeps the reader and its main character on their toes, and although it can get a little bogged down in the story it's telling, it never loses sight of the fact that these aren't your everyday Wolverine stories.

A bit disconnected from earlier volumes, but still a compilation of good reads.

Why, oh why, is this comic so uneven? I can't even decide whether to keep it or not!
Kraven (#41-42). Kraven kidnaps Logan and hunts him in the Savage Land. Not exactly bad, but entirely obvious and entirely pointless [2+/5].
Bullseye (#43-45). Bullseye is back for revenge, and look, he's a homicidal maniac! The big problem with this arc is that it seems to a follow-up to the short-lived Bullseye (2017) series that unshockingly was also by Ed Brisson. So it's full of characters I don't care about, talking about things I don't care about. And it's darned confusing besides. Pretty much, not an Old Man Logan comic [2/5].
There's one important decision by Logan to go back to the Wastelands, and otherwise this volume is 100% skippable unless you're adding it to your Bullseye collection.

This was an interesting volume.
Logan is being hunted by Kraven and in the savage land and I love the battle and its lethal and no holds barred and I like the ending and the twist and then the bullseye story again as he takes down Sarah from last volume and now Logan has to stop this mad man's killing and teams up with Vendetta and Shotgun (new characters for this story)to do it. Its a good story but its the art and the panel-ing and the motion of the comic that keeps you interested in the story and shows you lethality of Bullseye and Logan's new mission so yeah a definite recommend!

Nice volume. First two issues has Kraven going after Logan as he feels it will be a good hunt. He drops Logan off in the Savage Land and gives him a 4 hour head start. I thought this part was solid. Plus Manna does great work on the art duties.
Last three issue sees the return of Bullseye to continue the story from the last volume. This is where this book shines. Ferreyra does a bang up job drawing these crazy battles between Bullseye and Logan and the team he linked up with. Reading this I discover this ties back into the Bullesye mini series the Colombian Connection. I may have to track that down now. But yeah overall, enjoyable volume. One more left to go now.

This was another strong volume for this book. Hear the next one's the last, which, with our Logan's return and all makes sense--there were almost as many Wolverines (Laura, Honey Badger, James and old Man Logan) as there were Spider-Men for a while--but I'll still be sad to see it go. In the right hands it was a unique take on Wolverine, different in just the right way to make Logan really fresh and interesting.
Brisson does a good job of that here. He manages throughout to capture that tired, worn-out-but-can't-quit-cause-the-world-won't-let-you vibe that sets Old Man Logan apart from regular Wolverine. Missing that element, or poorly handling it leaves the book pointless. Brisson captured it really, really well.
The first story, Logan vs. Kraven is fun in a "What if?" sort of way. It's believably handled--Kraven's been established as plenty tough enough that he should be a tough out for Logan in this condition, but there's no way Kraven beats any rendition of Wolverine straight up. Which Kraven is arrogant enough to try. This arc is probably a 3/5 because, while well-told, why? Best and only answer? Because.
The second, which continues and finishes the Logan vs. Bullseye storyline from earlier in the book doubles down on that "old and tired" vibe I mentioned above, and contains one of the most blunt statements (however pessimistic) of the essence of a superhero's existence that I've ever seen. And it captures the essential tragedy and heroism of this character in a wonderful fashion. This one is a 5/5 for certain.

This was a bit better than the last few volumes. We get to see Logan hunted by Kraven the Hunter in the Savage Land. I always thought the Kraven character had potential, but I'm torn since Kraven's Last Hunt was such a cool story I thought that would have been a fitting end to the character. Still, the character does seem to have some stories left to tell and this one wasn't bad.
We also got to see the rematch with Bullseye, and we are reminded that Bullseye is a total psycho without hope of redemption. A little bit better than the last meeting of the two.
Overall I still think Old Man Logan is probably my favorite Wolverine series of the past decade or so.

This was kind of boring. I liked seeing Kraven but I needed more of him instead of seeing people like Bullseye again. Also didn't Wolverine say he did not want to go back to the wastelands again and now suddenly he wants to go back?? Like are you serious. It also didn't really feel like an Old Man Logan book, I mean I don't care about what happened with Bullseye in Columbia or with Joy, it seemed a bit random.

Pretty good. But being that it’s volume 9 you are either reading the whole thing or you stopped reading a while ago. So at this point nobody really gives a shit what I think and this review is just to remind me that a read this I guess.
March 18, 2020
I don't like Kraven and Brisson's version of Bullseye is too goofy for my taste. Therefore , I was flat-out bored through the whole volume.
May 17, 2020
If I had to make a top ten of the most boring villains, Kraven and Bullseye would be in it. Especially Kraven. They’re also both in there, in throwaway stories.

70/100.
Ha estado bien, entretenido, aunque no ha sido mi favorito de la colección. Este volumen se divide en dos arcos argumentales completos y la introducción al arco que comenzará el último volumen. Comencemos por partes: el primer arco argumental tiene como villano a Kraven el cazador y me ha resultado bastante interesante. El guion de Ed Brisson es bastante bueno y el arte de Francesco Manna (unido al color de Carlos López) acompaña bastante bien. Me gusta mucho, en especial, cómo está dibujado Kraven.
En un segundo arco argumental, volvemos a tener a Bullseye como fragmento. Debo reconocer que no me entusiasma demasiado el personaje, pero se vuelve a hacer entretenido. El guion de Ed Brisson sigue siendo bueno; confío en él. Lo que más me ha entusiasmado de este arco es el arte de Juan Ferreyra. No es mi dibujante favorito, pero me encanta su estilo. Espero leer pronto más de él.
Por último, terminamos con la pequeña introducción a lo que está por venir. A nivel de guion, a mí no me ha convencido demasiado, pero seguramente Ed Brisson me demuestre lo contrario cuando lea lo que tiene preparado. De momento, no ha decepcionado, así que tampoco creo que lo haga al final. El color de Carlos López vuelve a gustarme, aunque el arte de Damian Couceiro no me convence demasiado. Lo mejor que tiene, a mi gusto, es la portada de Andrea Sorrentino. Vivo enamorado del dibujo de este hombre.

I've found this Ed Brisson run on Old Man Logan to actually be okay. In this volume he's joined by Francesco Manna and Juan Ferrera on art. The work from everyone is solid. There's an overarching plot about Logan slowly dying but honestly I just think Brisson is telling some serviceable Wolverine stories and mostly ignoring the Old Man part. The solo adventures disconnected from most of Marvel and X-Men have always been my favorite Wolverine stories, so I'm a fan of taking that approach here.
There's a pair of fairly enjoyable wolverine stories here and that's about all I can ask from anyone writing at Marvel right now. They're drawn well and seem to get the spirit of past solo Wolverine books.

Still healing from his battle with Bullseye, Logan can't get any rest when Kraven the Hunter sets his sight on him! Kraven captures Logan, drops him in the Savage Land and proceeds to hunt him down. Is the hunter enough to stop the mighty Logan? I think not!
Back to New York, Bullseye comes back on the radar, but this time the body count drastically increases! Another crazy fight, but like always, Logan comes out on top.
Will this man ever get to go home?
Fast read, but excellent. High recommend.

Logan fights Kraven for two issues, then he fights Bullseye for three issues. It all feels meaningless and repetitive. Logan's healing ability is supposedly slowing down, but he still seems to come out of these brutal fights just fine. Bullseye is the more compelling villain of the two in this volume, although he seems to just be crazy for crazy's sake. The art is fine and the action is packed, if that's what you're looking for. I like a little more meat on my adamantium skeleton.
May 23, 2019
This was pretty bad. The Kraven story pretended like there hadn’t been a ton of character work done on him in the Squirrel Girl comic, and the Bullseye story was just an excuse to kill a ton of a people from a Bullseye mini-series. Neither story was good or enjoyable.
December 26, 2018
Awesome stuff by Mr. Brisson!
I'll have to stalk him and read whatever he wrote so far after this one!

I wasn't into the Kraven Hunter arc at all, but the final arc was decent enough. I like Brisson's writing for sure, but I enjoyed this series much more in it's earlier stages.

Finally more brutal scenes again and Ferreyra’s mind blowing art talent welcomes us in this volume.
First part is about Kraven vs Logan and the second part is Bullseye vs Logan.

I've made a real point to read basically every mainline book Marvel put out since Avengers vs. X-Men. Is that a poor decision? Yes, by most metrics.
I made very few exceptions but a Bullseye solo book was one of them. Ugh. Bullseye. He's not that interesting and he's certainly not likeable.
But the author makes it very clear that this is a direct continuation of his Bullseye: The Colombian Connection
. Well, Mr. Brisson, I don't care. I'm here for the Wolverine. It's a Wolverine book. Old Man Logan is a $$$ movie character. There should be Old Man Logan stories left to tell, right?
Guess not.
Everything here is pretty by the numbers. I think I'm just mad that he's rubbing my face in skipping the book. And also that there's not enough Wolverine in the Wolverine book for two volumes in a row.
Ah, looking at the other reviews, I forgot the first two issues were about Kraven. And that was also dumb. Kraven sets a trap for Wolverine and Wolverine says, "You can't kill me because I'm stronger than you." And he is. The end.
It's like the but it's not played for laughs.

3.5 stars
I have become increasingly more and more frustrated with each successive volume of the Old Man Logan comic series. Lemire leaving and Brisson taking over left this original IP trending in a downward direction.
The Hunter and Hunter thankfully keeps Old Man Logan from going down any further and actually starts to spin things back in a positive way. The first 2 issues (41 and 42) are more of a throwaway mini arc as they see Logan fighting Kraven. Nothing terrible but also incredibly forgettable since nothing of any true importance happens.
Issues 43-45, however, are where it’s at this time. Brisson brings back Bullseye to settle a score from previous issues and while Bullseye is the cliched over the top antagonist, the story itself is fairly pedestrian, lacking many of the things that made this series so much to begin with, the action and pacing is great, leading to some of the most fun we have seen since the first couple of issues way back at the beginning of this entire series. Juan Ferreyra’s art in issues 43-45 finally feels like someone who actually cares about making this look good.
We only have one more collection until this iteration ends so I’m crossing my fingers it ends on a relatively high note…though I wouldn’t be surprised if it kind of limps to a mediocre finale.

This volume consists of two stories over five issues. Things move fast, make their point, and we all move forward. I like it. The first two issues collected here show Old Man Logan take on Kraven The Hunter. Come to think of it, it really doesn't make sense why Kraven had never hunted the greatest animal of them all, does it? It's a match up that is so obvious that you smack your head wondering why nobody had ever done it before.
The rest of the book shows OML's rematch with Bullseye. As much as I enjoyed the more cerebral era of this title early on, I have to admit that the more straight up superhero fare is great fun. Seeing an older Wolverine realizing the limitations of age unfortunately rings more true with me with each passing day. Like Old Man Logan, my prime is in my rearview mirror. And like Old Man Logan, I'm also too damn stubborn to fold.

Parte de la calificación baja es que México no trajo el volumen siete y ocho. El origen del conflicto con Bullseye no lo leí. Pero aún así creo que la historia es demasiado simple.
Este tomo se divide en dos partes, la primera es una caza con Kraven y la segunda es un conflicto con Bullseye acompañado por una heroína genérica que busca venganza.
Lo más interesante del tomo es la brutalidad de Bullseye al final. De cierta manera esperaba lo que hizo pero aún así fue desgarrador. Ese villano está verdaderamente demente.
Los diálogos en primera persona de Logan son genéricos. La historia no explora partes que no hayamos visto antes, no hay verdadera construcción del personaje, etc.
Este tomo está vacío en su esencia.

Continuing (and nearly finishing) the great x-read of 2017/18...
This is much better than the previous volume though still not up to the heights of the earlier volumes in my opinion.
I could take or leave the Kraven the Hunter story that opens the volume. It isn't awful, just overwritten and ultimately boring. It's a been there/done that Wolverine story.
The Bullseye story, though, is quite good (and makes up for the lackluster Bullseye setup story in the last volume). It moves at a breakneck pace and presents us with an unsettling villain who is actually a threat. It's a fun comics story and worth the price of admission.

What in the world was this? Undoing events that just happened, for...no real reason? Ultra violent in a way we haven't really seen since the original graphic novel. This was bizarre. The violence is one thing, even if it was just to give a character in the CORNIEST costume ever, a chance to shine. But having him just totally undo everything that was accomplished in an arc from just two volumes back, was really weird. This is such an interesting character and I guess we're just attempting to wear him out so they can remove him totally. Boring tripe.
