Old Man Logan


Over the summer I started my comic book collection. Every week a new comic would come out and I would make sure I'd get it before it was sold out. I started with only three comics: Deadpool, Old Man Logan, and Avengers. Out of those three I like Old Man Logan the most. I liked it the most because I have always like wolverine, the story was amazing, and the art was fantastic (a little on the gory side).

The writer and artist of this comic are absolutely amazing. Mark Millar the author has has also written Kick-Ass. Steve McNiven is the penciler for this comic and has worked with Millar on other projects. I think these two should be partners for all their work because this series was absolutely amazing.

My favourite piece of cover art out of this series was from Wolverine #71. I liked this one the most because it shows the rough brutal side of Wolverine. I like how the bullets are radiating their heat. I also like how realistic the smoke looks which I find is one of the hardest things to draw well.

The comic world is very odd. There are many jobs need for one single comic. There are the writers, pencillers, colorists, letterers, inkers, and cover artists. I think working in comics would be very exciting. Not only would you get to work on comics of characters you read as a kid, but you also get to meet the current legends of comics.
