Just in case you weren't sure... "HAWKEYE IS A BAD-A--!"
I know someone out there is reading the "Old Man Logan"
storyline running through the regular "Wolverine" comic series. Mark
Millar and artist Steve McNiven continue to deliver the goods.
I would call the third part of this 50-years-in-the future series thrilling or something like that, but it isn't that kind of party. To thrill a
reader usually involves an element of surprise of some sort.
There's
no surprise that several someones are getting whipped when Wolverine
snaps out of his anti-violence trip. Regular readers of Wolverine are
waiting for the inevitable "Unforgiven" moment in this story and I know it's coming you know it's coming and so does Millar.
I'll
spare you too many details but the third part of this story includes
more surprise future characters, more brilliant rendering by McNiven
and a little action sequence that proves again that even a blind,
old-codger Hawkeye is more dangerous than traditional readers would
think.
Remember it was Millar who portrayed Hawkeye better than he had been in years over in "The Ultimates" series.
