Old Man Logan
by Mark Millar, Steve McNiven
Mark Millar and Steve McNiven present a dystopian future where villains have won. An aging Logan emerges from retirement for one last mission in a world that has forgotten what heroes were. A brutal, compelling exploration of legacy and redemption.
Geek’s cut
Comic-book storytelling with the density of a good tech spec: every panel doing double duty, every line of dialogue carrying lore, emotion, or both.
Deeper dive
Millar and McNiven deliver a haunting vision of a world transformed by villainy and conquest. Old Man Logan is a character study of the aging X-Men member forced back into action, facing the consequences of a past he tried to escape. The narrative is intimate despite its epic scope, exploring themes of guilt, responsibility, and whether redemption is possible for those who have failed. McNiven's artwork is breathtaking, capturing both the desolate landscape and the raw emotion of a legendary warrior confronting his own mortality.
