Written by MARK MILLAR Pencils & Cover by STEVE MCNIVEN
"OLD MAN LOGAN" In a decimated future where America is dominated by super-villains, old man Logan lives out his days, but as far as he’s concerned, WOLVERINE died fifty years ago with the rest of the super heroes. Now he’s on a cross-country journey with the blind archer HAWKEYE to deliver a secret package to Hawkeye’s contacts on the east coast. But dinosaurs and earthquakes might just finish them off for good! Plus: the identity of the PRESIDENT is revealed! MARK MILLAR and STEVE MCNIVEN continue their post-apocalyptic epic for the ages! Part 4 (of 8).

REVIEW by Brian Fisher
For as long as this issue has taken to come out, it’s an awfully quick read. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though. It breezes by with a fantastic kinetic energy that carries the reader from page to page, cover to cover. It’s a palpable energy that makes it nearly impossible to put down. While nothing of consequence really happens after the first eight pages, it really ramps up the action and suspense to a nail-biting level. Mark Millar infuses this issue with hints as to what’s been going on it this post-apocalyptic world and gives readers cool little “Easter eggs” throughout. You can tell Millar’s having a blast writing this story, and, as for me, I’m having a blast reading it. And with this cliffhanger ending I’m drooling for the next issue. Let’s just hope it doesn’t take another two and a half months for it to come out!
I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams
