Mar 1, 2017 · It’s hard to pick which scene in “Old Man Logan” is the wildest. The epic tale was first published by Marvel Comics in the pages of X-Men spinoff series Wolverine at the turn of this decade ...

Mar 2, 2017 · At the heart of Mark Millar and Steve McNiven's eight-issue (+one giant-sized comic book), 2008 Wolverine storyline "Old Man Logan" is a western "road movie." A bleak, intense, post-apocalyptic ...
Jun 28, 2024 · That stems from the famous Old Man Logan line in the comics -- which heavily influenced Mangold's film -- where Wolverine accidentally kills all of his fellow X-Men after being tricked by Mysterio. Those comics take place in an alternate timeline, however -- unconnected to the "core" Marvel universe of Earth-616 -- which further muddies the continuity waters around the film it inspired.

If you saw the movie but have not read the comic, you are probably scratching your heads at this one. The comic, although every bit as gritty as the movie (perhaps even more so), is also far less grounded in reality. The movie’s future (it takes place in 2029) is a grim but not broken extension of the world as it would be with mutants in it… and th...
The world of “Old Man Logan” truly is a world without heroes. As will be explained later, we come across only five characters that had been heroes (or mostly heroes) in the regular Marvel 616 universe. This means every other hero has fallen or is totally a non-factor. Given the age of the heroes that are left, even if Professor Xhad survived the de...
“Old Man Logan” follows Logan as he travels through a broken America from the West coast to the East in order to make money as a courier to pay off the Hulk Gang before they kill his family for non-payment of rent. As such, he is not being chased (well, not consistentlychased)-- and it allows for a number of threats to pop up based on where he is a...
In both the film and the comics, Logan has hung up his claws and costume for a simpler, more traditional living. That we are given a glimpse into the mundanity of Logan’s life outside of protecting the world from super villains is terribly important in both instances-- it gives us an idea of ‘what could have been’ and shows just how disconnected he...
We’re not against the idea of just watching Logan’s mundane daily life and how he responds to everyday events. In fact, what little we see of that in both the comic and the film is quite entertaining-- knowing that a famously-tempered mutant with indestructible retractable blades in his knuckles is grinning and bearing it in the face of something w...
A very crucial difference between the film and the comic is Logan’s attitude towards violence. In the comic, Logan is insistent that “Wolverine is dead”. Having been traumatized utterly and completely by an event when the villains took over, Logan waited for a freight train with his head resting on the tracks. After he healed from getting run over,...
In the movie, Logan escorts a young mutant girl to North Dakota. She is technically property of an unscrupulous company called Transigen, and it is for Transigen that Donald Pierce is working to recover young Laura. It would be hard, though, to characterize this as kidnapping despite the technicality. In the comic, Logan returns from his trip acros...
The America of the movie Loganseems to have not changed geographically from the way that we know it. There is no geography lesson in the film, and we are not treated to a map, but several locations are made mention throughout. Logan shuttles people back and forth between El Paso, Texas, and Mexico (where he is hiding Professor X and Caliban to avoi...
In keeping with the total shift in lifestyle for Logan in the comic book, he had settled down with a wife and had kids. His wife, Maureen, is of course a redhead in keeping with his well-known affection for gingers. Their youngest is their daughter, Jade. Their eldest is a son that Logan named Scotty. It is extremely interesting that Logan would na...
The movie, as with all of Fox’s Marvel movies, is limited in its scope of what characters it can draw on from the Marvel universe. Several existing Marvel characters have made their way into the Wolverine films, and Logan is no exception. In addition to Donald Pierce, the Reavers, Professor X, Caliban, and X-23, the young mutants that Laura convene...
Logan is the third and final film in the Wolverine trilogy and the tenth installment in the X-Men film series. Directed by James Mangold, who directed The Wolverine, the film stars Hugh Jackman reprising his role as Logan/Wolverine as well as Patrick Stewart as Charles Xavier/Professor X. Although this marked Jackman and Stewart's final appearances as Wolverine and Professor X in the film ...
The story of the third game is a combination of the backstory explored in the X-Men Origins: Wolverine film and an original plot created by Raven Software using Unreal Engine 3, which was influenced by major events in the X-Men comic series, expanding upon the film's events as Logan recalls the events of X-Men Origins: Wolverine more accurately during the post-apocalyptic future later depicted ...

Feb 4, 2017 · It’s here that “Old Man Logan” holds a lot of sway over the approach to Logan and gives us some insight into how the film will affect the rest of the X-Men film series and its timeline. Continuity Limits Creativity. The realm of comic books thrives on continuity but that line of thinking can be a problem. It’s why the big comic book ...
