Stories

  • Old Man Logan Part 7 · 27 pages

    The Red Skull is president of the United States and the corpses of Clint and Logan are brought to him by his men. Logan turns out not to be quite as dead as they believe and dispatches the Skull with Captain America’s shield. He then takes one of Skull's trophies, the top half of Iron Man's armor, and a wad of cash and flies back home to take care of his family. Finding that the Hulk gang has already been there and killed his wife and kids, Logan decides to be Wolverine once again and pops his claws for the first time in 50 years.

Publisher’s description

Logan and Hawkeye have finally reached their journey’s end, made it to New Babylon, and delivered Hawkeye’s secret cargo. But the completion of their mission has come with a great price...and Logan is out for revenge on the man responsible for the annihilation of the world’s super heroes, the President of the United States! Don’t miss the penultimate issue of the greatest Wolverine story ever told by modern masters MARK MILLAR and STEVE MCNIVEN!
