My first comic book with either Wolverine or any of the other X-Men as the main character, Old Man Logan is a very interesting story that's part Western, Post-Apocalypse, and superhero. Taking place in the future of an alternative universe wherein all of the villains banded together to defeat all the superheroes and have turned all of America into a desolate wasteland divided up by various super villains, with Logan no longer wanting to fight and just asking for a normal life before everything goes bad. With the same writing and artistic team as Civil War, there are some similarities with each other though the artwork is more of an improvement than their previous collaboration. The story is very fascinating, well told, and serious, though can be too dark for its own sake when it handles certain subjects. The moment when Logan tells his story of what got him to quit being a superhero was really shocking and the part when he finally decides to pop his claws out after so many years felt very enlightening. In all, Old Man Logan is well told but has too many untold stories throughout every page and I like to think of it as The Dark Knight Returns of the Marvel Comics due to similar beats. Although I've always wanted to read this story, the upcoming release of Logan is what finally made me read it as it takes inspiration from this comic. Over all: 91%
