When the hero grows old...

There is always that one particular character from a certain universe that seems to be the most recognizable. When it comes to The X-Men it is Wolverine for sure. Definitely a very rich figure (in terms of his experiences), with a whole bunch of ups and downs in his life. He has basically been through a lot and as weird as it may seem, when we consider his extended longevity and healing abilities, he's grown old...

Wolverine: Old Man Logan is a storyline containing eight issues from the Wolverine series. It was written by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven and just as a whole X-Men series it was published by Marvel Comics. It started in June 2008 and ran through Wolverine #66-72 officially ended in Wolverine Giant-Size Old Man Logan released in September 2009. It may seem confusing for some of the readers but the plot from this comic book is set in an alternative universe designated as Earth-807128. Marvel (and DC too actually) often does time/alternative reality switches in order to keep the series going and let any reader kind of start from the "beginning". Just to give you the idea what the story is about and not to spoil anything: heroes have been wiped out of existence, supervillains are ruling the world and only a few survivors are still hiding somewhere. One of them is Logan aka Wolverine and we can pleasently read about his encounters with villains and a journey which he starts.

It is absolutely a fantastic comic book with a high quality content, really worth checking out.
Task for you: How old Logan really is? (You're going to need the Internet for that one for sure)

See you in the next post!
