Yo that Logan trailer! Will there be a Suicide Squad-esque page with comics focused on X-23/Laura, Logan, the Reavers etc?
Well, seeing as it’s you asking, I think we can arrange something like that…

Old Man Logan #1
by: Jonah Chuang
The original Old Man Logan arc is one of my favorite comic stories of all time. In a way, I feel like it was to Wolverine what the Dark Knight Returns was to Batman in that it was a gritty, post-apocalyptic retelling of the story with lots of familiar characters filling wildly different and interesting roles. It grew the characters up, made them old and irrelevant in their worlds, which weirdly made them more real and relatable. One of the best things about that series was that it turned the grey areas in superhero comics all the way up. Heroes became villains, villains became wild cards, and the idea of a character’s legacy really came into the spotlight. This Secret Wars tie-in continues that trend.
Written by Marvel super-scribe, Brian Michael Bendis (brianmichaelbendis), and drawn by grim and grit sorcerer, Andrea Sorrentino, Old Man Logan #1 brings us back to the world of O.M.L. in almost a direct sequel. In this arc, Logan has to deal with the fallout of his world-changing quest, and the consequences of the power vacuum he created when deposing the many, many dictators of his universe. This story is pretty great if you’re a fan of Westerns. It’s the old, retired lawman bringing justice back to a land that’s been lawless for too long.
This series also features some elements of mystery and epic fantasy. If you’ve been following along with the Secret Wars/Battleworld tie-ins, you’d know that beyond the walls of the known realms, there are armies of zombies, Ultrons, and symbiotes, and that God Doom takes this structure super seriously. In fact, most of the major plot lines deal with either someone getting punished by throwing them over the wall, people dying in order to avoid getting thrown over the wall, or people being punished for damaging the wall. In this story, however, something from beyond the wall comes to Logan, and Logan must unravel the mystery surrounding it before something calamitous happens, all while rebuilding a world he helped destroy. I literally can’t wait to see what happens next.
