week. At $4.99, the only thing giant-sized about it was the price. Knowing how popular the "Old Man Logan" storyline was, Marvel Comics decided to capitalize on that and serve up a regular-sized story with the other half of the issue being images of past covers that we've already seen, and some rough sketches. Big effing deal. To me, that wasn't worth $4.99. I expected a giant-sized story. Boo, Marvel!The finale focuses on Wolverine's final confrontation with the Hulk family, who are basically a bunch of crazy rednecks like something out of Deliverance. While I was satisfied with the ending, I look forward to this becoming a regular series. It certainly has the potential to be a great ongoing comic. The characters are well fleshed out, the story is fairly simple yet intriguing, and the art is amazing and "dark," as it should be for this particular kind of story.
Unless you're a collector, save your money, though, on the Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size comic and buy the entire series in hardcover that comes out shortly
. Read it from cover to cover and discover a familiar Wolverine that you've never seen before.
