We have a new creative team and a completely different feel and direction this time out, as Old Man Logan's timeslip flashback/future memories become less relevant to the current story and more of a simple backstory stopgap. This is a fast-paced read and is more straightforward and accessible than the Lemire run. If you have read the original Old Man Logan story you could jump straight into this and not be lost.

Maestro and the Hulk Gang have journeyed from Old Man Logan's dystopian future to the “real” Marvel Universe (616 for the kids out there in Internet land). Maestro, an alternate timeline Bruce Banner Hulk from yet another continuity than the main Marvel Universe (616) or OML's timeline(807128), has a plan to wipe out the puny humans once and for all.

This arc sheds more light on Old Man Hawkeye (that would be Hawkeye 807128 for those keeping score at home) and helps set things up for OMH's new series. I will check that one out because I hate my money and need more books to pile on top of my backlog. Why, god, why???

This was my favorite arc since the original Millar/McNiven one. While Ed Brisson is an unknown quantity to me and Mike Deodato Jr. is a god. There is plenty of action and bone-crunching violence to sink your teeth into. While this not all ages reading by any stretch, this is some great stuff and is worth your time.

Junk Food For Thought rating: 4.25 out of 5.

The OCD zone- This is the part where I go into tactile sensations and materials of physical media. Those with heart conditions, high blood pressure, or women who are pregnant should exit my blog at their earliest convenience, as their safety cannot be guaranteed beyond this point.
