Old Man Logan

Ah, dystopia. The Dark Knight Returns style future looks at Marvel icons continue (also see Kaare Andrews homage-ized Spider-Man: Reign) in June with Mark Millar and Steve McNiven bringing the story, "Old Man Logan," to the character's eponymous comic, Wolverine, with #66. Millar's teases in interviews have me interested and cringing a little at the same time. Seeing a world where the villains won and discovering what made Wolverine give up the super hero life and simply be Logan both sound intriguing. From there, the descriptions provided by Millar (especially his hints about the Hulk) go downhill. Fortunately, Steve McNiven is the big draw with preview art of older Wolverine that sells me even though his Civil War, 4, and Amazing Spider-Man work already had me planning on a buy.
