Mark Millar and Steve McNiven's Wolverine: Old Man Logan is easily one of the more memorable dystopian future superhero revamps in recent memory. Marvel's first attempt at revisiting that universe as part of Secret Wars last year started out strong but quickly degenerated into an aimless road trip across Battleworld. But Old Man Logan has a second chance now that he's made the jump to Prime Marvel Universe. He's back with a new ongoing series and a proven creative team. This book looks like it could succeed where its predecessor failed.
Stylistically, the new Old Man Logan doesn't differ much from the previous volume. Andrea Sorrentino is still on board as artist. It's touch to imagine a creator more suited to the tone and subject matter. Sorrentino's elaborate collages and striking design work are a perfect match for Old Man Logan's world. Even though the setting has changed since the Secret Wars days, there's a very hard-boiled, neo-noir vibe to the book that's conveyed through Sorrentino's shadowy drawings and Marcelo Maiolo's surreal colors. This first issue also features a lengthy flashback to Logan's old world. Here Maiolo's colors stand out all the more, drenching the post-apocalyptic landscape in a baking sun and recalling the Wild West vibe of the original Old Man Logan storyline.
