Product Description
Product Description
The only way writer Mark Millar (Wanted, Kick-Ass) could top his all-time classic Wolverine tale "Enemy of the State" was to take it to the future - his Civil War brother in arms, Steve McNiven, handling the art duties! Fusing the dystopian super-hero elements of the X-Men's "Days of Future Past," the wild and wooly futurescapes of Mad Max, and the tragic pathos of Clint Eastwood's archetypal Western heroes, Millar's tale finds Wolverine at a crossroads with who he really wants to be and who he really is. Millar's typically over-the-top action scenes and McNiven's adrenaline-rush theatrics will keep you turning the page until the last body falls in Wolverine's quest for peace in a world that won't leave him alone! Collects Wolverine #66-72 and Wolverine Giant-Size Old Man Logan.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A traumatised Wolverine leaves the superhero world behind to become a farmer and raise a family, calling himself Logan and swearing non-violence for the rest of his life Meanwhile, the grossly outnumbered superheroes who remain are overpowered by a newly organised group collecting all of the supervillains to kill the heroes and divide up America amongst them. 50 years pass and Logan has fallen behind in rent to the Banner clan, Bruce Banner's family who govern their section of America. With the threat of violence against his family, Logan takes a risky courier job with his old friend Hawkeye, driving across America to deliver an unknown shipment to New Babylon. But will he make it back in time - and what happened to him to make him become a pacifist?
Mark Millar returns with his frequent collaborator, artist Steve McNiven, to deliver the goods on another fine book. I loved what he'd done, wreaking havoc on the America we know, and the gruesome ways in which the superheroes died. I particularly found the way Bruce Banner had turned evil and become a "greenneck" hillbilly interesting, as well as how the X-Men died, and the different rulers of the divided states of America (Red Skull is great as is Peter Parker's granddaughter).
The action is frequent throughout, all building up to the moment when - SNIKT! - the claws come out at last, but the anticipation is part of the fun of this book. The violence is what you'd expect in a Mark Millar book, that is to say it is very grisly and graphic, but that fits in with the character of Wolverine who is allowed to show the violence he is capable of in full view on the page and McNiven does a fine job of showcasing this.
Overall, a very fun, alternate take on the Marvel universe, and an excellent read with some fantastic art as always from Steve McNiven. A must-read for fans of superhero comics - Mark Millar does it again!

Format:Hardcover
The story is set some time after the bad guys won, the last hero, wolverine has settled down to be a farmer. A pacifist after what happened he is no longer anything like the man he was. What will it take to turn that broken man back into the wolverine?
The art is absolutly fantastic. Once again steve McNiven delivers.
The story is a slow burner with various comedy elements, it also lays a few red heerings too, but it doesn't pull its punches either.
One of the best wolverine stories on recent years.

A mix of genres creates an enjoyable read
This is Wolverine meets Unforgiven meets Mad Max meets The Road. This really tries to use multiple genres & create an alternative world for Wolverine to inhabit. It works! Read more
