Well.

Just as long as it's wrapping up.

Started well.

Then got sillier and sillier.

Nice. Love this quote:

"But the most proprietorial I've ever felt with anything is the 'Old Man Logan' universe. I don't know why, but they got about three or four proposals in a couple of months ago from people, and they said, 'What do you think? Is it OK if we farm this stuff out?' and I just had to say 'No.' I'm never normally that much of a jerk, but I just love that little world and don't want anyone else playing with it. Right now it still feels like my toy. So I said, 'Look, I'd like to come back at some point with Steve and do more with the 'Old Man Logan' world,' and that was what I used as a bargaining chip so they wouldn't let anyone else do it."

$$$ :biggrin:

This will collect nicely in trade. I'll read it then.

"One thing I have noticed sometimes is that whenever something is successful – and this is at DC and at Marvel – then there's always a cheap, shoddy follow up by the wrong creative team usually. And then there's an even worse creative team to come and follow them. And then the thing just dies on its arse."

Epic shot at Loeb for ruining Ultimates.

It definitely was, though I'm tradewaiting OML so I can't speak to that.

But hey, more Aaron coming in April!

I caved and bought #70 mostly because of the art and seeing Jubilee again in her traditional costume.
The violence by Wolverine was also illustrated perfectly.
My complaint though, is with the pacing of it. It seems like there was mostly just 3 panels per page, minimal captions and not a whole lot of story for the 22 pages.

I probably won't buy the conclusion.

[Bingo!]

All for it! This is the best Wolverine story in years!

it was probably supposed to be minimal with the art/ action doing most of the work. if you compare it to the other old man logans, it looks like they did that part on purpose.




any way did millar pretty much acknowledge that he wont be able to top #70. i just get that feeling. a big epic battle, but can it really top #70's entertainment value? i think i get the feeling bc it sounded like he was having trouble / procrastinating with the ending before.

it would be hard, but i really hope he can top the work they both did in #70.
