Chili Pepper Chris’s Comic Cave: Review for June 18, 2008
Marvel Comics: Wolverine #66 — Old Man Logan
Written by Mark Millar (Ultimates, Civil War) with art by Steve McNiven (Civil War), this is the start of the epic Old Man Logan storyline. This is Wolverine in a world that has gone to hell — The villains (Kingpin, Doctor Doom, Magneto) have defeated the superheroes and taken over the world. Two generations have been born and Logan is now an old man living in California with his family. He hasn’t popped his claws in years and has become a bit of a pacifist. Times are hard and when the Hulk Gang (the Hulk’s hillbilly grandchildren) comes calling things just get worse. Hawkeye shows up with an offer to make some money and things take off from there. Think of this as “The Dark Knight Returns”, Wolverine style. There is a lot of promise here and hopefully this will truly be great! Grade: A+
Until next time–Peace…

Ok so I know I haven't been around much lately, what with me working hard on haleyred.com, but thanks to the folks over at The Onion this little bit of info didn't go unnoticed.
Hello there again ATE readers, it's me nanye remember?
Even though the movie is still over a year from being in theaters the first image of Hugh Jackman ...
After several months of sub-par storylines in this book we finally get one that delivers on several levels.
The events in this comic continue to build in epic proportions now. Like I've said, the first 25 issues of this were decent but the pacing was slow.
HOLY SH*T!! The two main Avengers titles as of late have been pretty mediocre if not sucktastic but this issue was good.
Steve Rude (born December 31, 1956) is an American comic book artist. He was born in Madison, Wisconsin. In 1982, Rude became widely known in the comics world when he and writer Mike Baron created Nexus, an independent science fiction comic book with a large supporting cast.
Writer Rick Remender and artist Matt Broome bring us a post-apocalyptic tale where almost all of the world's superheroes are dead and the supervillains rule with fear and pain.
