Old Man Logan has one of the best art I have ever come across recently. Written by Mark Millar, who also wrote Wanted and Kick-Ass, the story is set in the future where the superheroes finally fell and earth is now run by villains where life can only be as despicable as it can get.
One of the few surviving heroes is Logan who has a wife and two kids to care for and his days of being Wolverine is gone. He now lives like an ordinary man on Hulkland that is run by the in-breeding descendants of Hulk and She-Hulk.
The first issue was remarkable beyond anticipation. The art was absolutely superb and the plot was intriguing and mind blowing. But soon, as the issues ran on to the final eighth it was merely predictable. The one thing that is worth every page turning is Steve McNiven's penciling and Dexter Vines' inking.
On the whole, it's a brilliant comic with an alternate version of what life would be when the heroes fall.
