Wolverine stops holding back

[@Balloushop13]

10:34 Lady Deathstrike and The Reavers, sound like a hardcore rock band

[@jaycarrigan9521]

Balloushop13 They sound more like a Black Metal band.

[@LordRaptor]

The original Wolverine is my favorite comic book character of all time, but Old Man Logan is definitely giving him a run for his money, I'd say give him more time to develop and expand and he might become a better character overall.

[@danielclark4341]

i have read all of these comics yet i still watch your videos because it always seems like you have a different take on them, keep up the good work!

[@mylescoyne1]

I love these comics. You nailed this break down!

[@smithcubs]

You are so right, I was so tired of this mindless wolverine that I was glad to see him die. When he died I thought, "finally they can stop ruining his image, and hopefully someone that knows how to bring him back to his old days will come along". He went from being a *master* at hand to hand combat and tactics, also while struggling to be a better man and mentor, to just a raging "rwar rwar" damage sponge maniac.

[@OceansOfMotionStudios]

I actually didn't mind it. It makes sense that he decided to simply not care. All Logan does is go though pain. Anybody in his shoes would do the same. If you're always seen as nothing but a beast even when you spend the majority of your life trying to disprove exactly that then eventually you'd give into it. Wolverine was made into a weapon and that's what he embraced. In this regard it relates to exactly what was stated about Old Man Logan. Every where he goes death follows so him still being young (at least compared to his new counterpart) he lashes out and does one of the only things he knows how, what he's best at. Wolverine has always been a tragic hero and him giving into the more beastial side, him preferring solitude, him going berserk and turning people into mince meat holds a meaning. I loved the death of Wolverine to pieces because even in the first issues his monologue hits home. He talks about being tired. By the end if the story we get to truly see him get peace through death.

[@davidclancy4029]

smithcubs When Wolverine died, I stopped reading comics. I had read The Old Man Logan story, liked it. However, I hate X-23 as Wolverina, it's stupid. They need to drop this bull sh!t, I miss the old Wolverine!

[@OceansOfMotionStudios]

David Clancy I'm not a fan of Amadeus Cho and Sam Alexander either. Richard Rider will always be Nova and was lost in an all out battle with Thanos, going out like like a true hero. Sam is a punk and Cho is just really conceited and douchey.

[@OceansOfMotionStudios]

La Nausée and what of the civil war Wolverine storyline as well as the death of Wolverine. Both held up pretty well in my opinion

[@OceansOfMotionStudios]

La Nausée well both of those have got some pretty decent spacing between them. The reason I named them was to show that wolverine had good showing across the charts.

[@surfacingcom]

20+ minutes and nothing on how fucking amazing that artwork is?

[@eddefy22]

Rob, come on man "Mindless Killing machine", I was big "wolverine and the x-men" fan and took up the mantle of Charles Xavier dream of Mutant and Human peaceful coexistence with the Jean Grey School for The Gifted. While Cyclops Killed Xavier became magneto. Logan changed and became a leader and mentor quagmire quire. He had relationship with storm and was more and more trying to be like Xavier. That's why his death was super tragic, he never got the chance to live his new life. His past came back and killed home in the end. Wolverine was on a big character arch, but jealous. Whining haters kept whining to editors "too much wolverine" .

[@Tifsa123]

R.I.P D0gg0 2k16-2k16 "Good pupper"

[@DelightFools]

Wolverine is probably my favorite comic book character of all time along with Spiderman. I hope the direction they're going with this with him embracing his life of chaos and being a ravaged mutant full of wisdom will lead to Wolverine finally going over his most powerful peers like the Hulk Thor and Strange and being on the level of cosmic entities. Now let me explain for this to happen I'd like for the writers to connect his pasts like the times he was nearly dead and came back to life, when he was appointed as the Horseman of Death by Apocalypse, having been in contact and surviving the Phoenix Force, and quite possibly meeting the soul of 616 James Howlett that has died and somehow fusing with him and having all these events cause Death to take notice of Logan but not as a love interest like she has for Dead Pool but fear that Logan could have the potential to replace her as the embodiment of death. I really think this would be an awesome idea. I mean having Death being killed off is unthinkable but Logan could pull it off and she'll feel threatened so she uses Dead Pool and Thanos to try and stop Logan but eventually both will fail stopping a now more Kratos like Wolverine and in which Logan replaces the Marvel Universe's Death. In turn he is at his peace with his new role in the Marvel Universe. This opens up so many doors for Marvel. X-23 would truly be the sole Wolverine. Thanos could have his sights on other things having lost Death. Dead Pool can now die. It is also a way for one of Marvel's most beloved characters in Logan to live on forever.

[@Sully3000]

its an interesting idea. I'd love to see this wolverine meet or talk with the 616 wolverine, but as for them fusing...Naahhh. let old man logan be old man logan and 616 logan be just 616 logan. But the idea of him killing death is intriguing since he's embracing chaos.

[@relloicey]

Rose's Seat Warmer to much shit to read

[@averydarkhole1965]

Rose's Seat Warmer Wolverine becoming the next death. Awesome but scary.

[@relloicey]

Phoenix Poole lol true

[@DelightFools]

Sully 1147 well yeah its probably for tje better but its hard for me to forget the og James Howlett even though he was pretty much a mindless beast

[@mjjjhaney1]

I'd really be interested on a series about the artists behind comic books. I collected them when I was young, and the artwork was probably my favorite aspect. Back then Todd McFarlane was redefining everything. Brian Bolland's Killing Joke was pretty amazing. You had the fully painted comic books that were the showstoppers, though: the Havok and Wolverine 4 issue mini series, Black Orchid was a favorite, but the coolest book that I can recall was the Arkham Asylum graphic novel. Dave McKean's work was unlike anything I had ever seen. Thanks for the truly fantastic videos, bro!

[@morlath4767]

I love this video, I love all aspects of Logan, there's only one slight issue in how you've spoken about this brilliant comic. You actually say that Logan ended up being a bringing of death (a "mindless killer") and that's part of why people weren't sad about him getting killed off. Yet the magic of ANAD Old Man Logan 2 is that Old Logan throws himself directly into that mindset.

[@cameronothers5689]

would love to see this story animated in the same style as the comic!

[@KidIntrikit01]

The original old man Logan storyline is what brought me back to comics. It's one of my all time favorite stories. So I'm rocking with old man Logan

[@offdutyjie]

That's a beautiful breakdown of Old Man Logan. Thank You!I do believe he is adding lots of depth and purpose to Wolverine. Fleshing out the character and adding more to the potential of the character!

[@LongLivFresh]

this was an awesome story. i definetly think that this version logan seems more tempered. thanks for posting this.

[@Pentonious]

old man logan is def one of my favorite story arcs to come out of marvel for a long time now. i remember getting the original story and hoping that it was expanded on so badly. then we got that tiny bit in secret wars, which was definitely a treat, but this newest story arc is fantastic and its a wolverine story that i hope is continued for a while since the writing and story telling is so good. other writers depictions of wolverine have been cool at times, but this is by far my favorite

[@kezmattroman2745]

Wow, I haven't bought a marvel comic in years and wolverine is my all time favorite. Thanks for this. I'm going to pick up the whole run. This was also my first experiences with your videos.You did a great job. Thanks for saving wolverine for me.

[@blackflagsnroses6013]

OML is a gem, a masterpiece of comics. It took the post-apocalyptic setting and threw a broken, asskicking, lonely, senior mutant on a journey of self realization. Living on while all others have long perished, can't imagine the feeling. Speaks volumes of humanity's drive for survival, and perseverance through trials and tribulations, the spirit is hard to break, the soul impossible to get rid of.

[@evanabbott2737]

This was one of the best comics I've ever read. Keep up the good work buddy!👍👍👍👍👍

[@Thleepricon]

The art is breathtakingly beautiful.

[@Dawings21]

The art for Old Man Logan is great during the "quiet" and absurdly awesome during the "storm". There are a couple of lulls in the story, but over all its just such a solid series. It is a shame that Marvel haven't really tried to draw much attention to it.

[@sergiomorales8106]

I think u hit the nail on the head. I love old man Logan a lot more than I did the last few years of Wolverine. Good video!!! Keep it up.

[@nicholasrpatton]

"Fans just want good storytelling" and you're right Rob

[@a.j.m8264]

Honestly, this is the ONLY marvel comic I read these days. The moment I heard they were continuing I had to buy them all. I hope they continue it for awhile because this is most INTERESTINGLY and entertaining comic I've read in a long time.

[@Jt1Torso1Winabego]

Oldman logan is great, feels like they jump started wolverine as a character.

[@Avamarie38]

I gotta go with old man Logan he has way more depth to him

[@MikeParkx]

Always love watching your videos! They're really nice told stories for everyone who doesn't read the comics but is interested in the background stories :)

[@Jeudaos]

Thank you Rob. Don't stop making content please. Oh, well as for story telling I got sick and goddamn tired of wolverine being a mindless zombie with claws that kills just because 'that's what he does'. This Old Man Logan is FAR better! Which comic do I need to pick up to start on the Old Man Logan story? Are they all written by Jeff, I can't spell his last name.

[@justinkroboth360]

Mark Millar did the original setup of Old Man Logan, the one that shows his life with his wife and children, living under the thumb of the Banner/Hulk clan - that's where you should start. And then Jeff Lemire does this one. There's a tie-in to Hickman's Secret Wars that was done, I think, by Brian Michael Bendis.

I watched Logan the movie the previous night and while it was an awesome movie, it got me so curious about the original story arc of Old Man Logan and I agree, Jeff's storyline writing is top notched and made me really rooting for Wolverine during this time around. Much more realistic and bravo to the comic book collaborations in creating a really well made universe here. I like Old Man Logan. I actually care for this character.

[@AceOfROMs]

It's weird thinking that little girl is Wolverine's alternate-future wife.

[@Rodney-1972]

I've gotta say I never read Old man Logan or liked the idea. After listening to Rob's retellings, I'm digging the story. I may have to get it. The part that sucks is that imagine you were him and you inherit the problems of your younger counterpart. His fights are now yours. I cant wait til these guys meet it should be a great story!!

[@godswiftemperico]

thanks keeping on watching this line of insights. got "learned" from your other videos from watching vulcan and franklin and others i dont normally understand.

[@jcbricks101]

Ive been subscribed for a year or two and just wanted to say to keep up the good work Rob

[@Darkmatter105]

old man logan is hands down my favorite story of wolverine. By a long shot. Just genius writing.

[@mittensfastpaw]

That looks like a story I'd really enjoy reading. This is the Wolverine I wanted the one with character and depth not just pure fighting.

[@BIGAACE]

DUDE! I'm not nut hugging when I say that this was way more informative than the Comicstorian version. Don't get me wrong I love what Benny is doing on his channel and I'll continue to support him but this video was absolutely necessary. I had no idea Maureen was his wife. Thats crazy man!

[@bhanukawijeyaratne6243]

Now I know this is a damn good story I'll definitely pick it up. And yes I think old man Logan is better in terms if character because of the experience he has and control over emotions and his focus.

[@ewardjcarlson]

I could not agree with you more. I have just about everything Wolverine since the late 80's. This is the gritty, real world Logan.

[@peterohlhornjr]

I've been a fan of Wolverine for around 30 years. I've seen his character evolve and grow. mainly during Clermonts run. And I totally agree with Rob, after that run Wolverine lost on quality. This old man Logan... awesome idea!! He's matured as a character. And I believe that he's still the best at what he does... even if what he does isn't that pretty!!!!

[@Skedoosh99]

you were spot on in your presentation. I like old man Logan more way more for story telling. always enjoy. till next time bro

"I'm the best at what I do, but what I do ain't very nice." Having only known about Old Man Logan from your videos (great job, btw!) I'm going to have to say I'm a 80s-90s Wolverine fan, ergo, the original Wolverine is my choice.

[@bfan82]

thnx for this, man...I'm so far behind I didn't even know they did thisbut I just KNEW they were going to find a way to bring the runt back

[@diazdelosmuertos419]

Old Man Logan brought me back to collecting reading comics. I,once again, believe in my anti-hero. I became a huge wolverine fan post fatal attractions. I felt like logan losing his adamantium, made him more human, gave him a vulnerability. With his healing factor on the ropes arms bandaged up, he rode his Harley through a gauntlet of villians. However, this direction for the character seemed to grow old and after Generation Next and Age of Apocalypse I began to see the character deevolve into some killing beast that couldnt even hold conversations w other xmen. I quit collecting shortly after that. Brian Singers effect rippled into the comics and aesthetically the xmen put on leather costumes wolverine had greased back hair, a five o clock shadow wife beater and leather pants. It was not the wolverine i remember. Joss Whedon changed that. brought back classic looks to the team, and once afgain i seemed to be vaguely interested in wolverine. I felt like JW wrote him in a way that was very one demensional, but then again i also realized he was just a part of the team, not the star. Unfortunatly for the years to follow he became the star, not just in xmen books but in about 30 books. It was over saturation. I was over the character. It was nice to see Hugh Jackman play wolverine. Although i never felt like it was a true depiction of the character. Mark Millars Wolverine: Old Man Logan was a very nice break from what wolverine had become. The story had depth, character. A begginning middle and end. It was very satisfying. All New All Different OML enriches that character. I love where the writer is going with this. As an older guy now i get the sense that my character has grown up as well.

[@Masklessvizard]

This some excellent storytelling. I appreciate what Jeff has done. And the comparison between old man L and the younger wolverine.....damn! Mind blown Rob. In your future videos could you perhaps do a comparison of the DC animated movies? Like which is the absolute best, going from Justice League Frontier.....all the way to the New Teen titans the Judas initiative....I think that the name....sort...of. lol Thanks Rob for all your Kick ass reviews bro! And again that Luke Cage whipping Doctor Dooms and the fantastic four's ass on the Rundown. Funny as fuck!!!! LOL

[@XEyedN00b]

interesting how wolverine is soooo efficient in permanently killing his friends and many times his foes somehow come back

[@jeffro7856]

Hey Rob, think we can get a hold of some comic writers/artists and have you do Skype interviews? You are such a content nerd that I bet the interviews would be great!

[@piercingpencils_art]

This was incredible! I know that it's coming and I am weary of when he meets the newly reformed Sabretooth. Will they finally truce, or will their feud pick up where Logan and Victor can piece together? He's estranged from X-23, and she has become him in her own right. With the three of them in this one universe now, on the X-Men, what WOULD be best between the three? I honestly want them to be a new X-Force team, but I'm torn between what would be greater. Logan being their ally, or enemy? More importantly, what off-the-wall writers, decide the opposite of expectation, and how beneficial will it be?

[@nicop2968]

Old Man Logan is way easier to empathize with as he is very human in his guilt and his (lack of) ways of coping with his situations after he murdered his friends and set his reality on the course to ruin, but that being said I think Old Man Logan is way cooler because of this. As you mentioned, Rob, Wolverine before he got encased was basically just a..weapon, a tool, a plot device even because he can't die and basically can destroy anything tangible with his claws so it comes down to, like, Wolverine is your favorite kitchen knife if you're a chef or your favorite tool if you are a carpenter or mechanic where as Old Man Logan is like your favorite guitar, both serve a purpose and both can create things but one has more depth in it's base form rather than in it's creation/actions.

[@mattnoot7869]

[@majinsole8554]

Too early to say, but I am loving the character development of Old Man Logan right about now. Will be interesting to see how he interacts with his younger self when he eventually gets resurrected... ~_~

This is what this medium needed. It's just so perfect.

[@RealSB]

I think Old Man Logan is hands down the better version of Wolverine, but, that might just be the way Jeff's writing and the art meld in to a dream state for me.

[@chojikiba]

I say Old Man Logan has the edge over the main 616 Wolverine is that Logan comes with the baggage of an entire alternate timeline universe that not only includes his Weapon X but also the war of united villains destroying his universe. It gives writers a whole new Avenue of storytelling in that sense but Lemire is an amazing writer. Go check out his Outsider War run in Green Arrow in the New 52. Solid stuff

[@katanaridingremy]

I was a big fan of the X-force and Wolverine Max runs with Wolverine at the helm, so I'm kind of biased. It is too early to say which I like better, but I will say that they are taking OML down a great path and looking forward to the future stories. I never wanted Logan to die, so I'm glad to have him back in any form

[@kevintodd674]

I cannot choose between original Logan and Old man Logan. Wolverine has always been my favorite character. However, this story hit the nail on the head. Wolverine, no matter where or when he is, is an agent of Chaos. Everything close to him dies or is taken away, yet he keeps plugging on. He never stops, never quits, and when the shit hits the fan, he is always there to bring the doom. I'm kind of relieved that the original Logan died a good death, and they haven't brought him back. But I'm always hoping in the back of my mind that some creative writer finds a way to bring back our Canucklehead. Everyone else gets a free death or 10, when is his time?

[@KingBlackknuckle]

story wise, Old Man Logan is more interesting. But overall, I just wish they could have Old Man Logan with the capabilities of Young Wolverine.

[@amoschew3609]

I love this, i'm a 16 year old kid who loves to just read things that are presented on just the surface. I don't like to think (as dumb as that sounds) so ComicsExplained just helps me understand much more and find out more.

[@ChronoXShadow]

'Classic' Wolverine seems to struggle more with day-to-day strife. Old Man Logan is like an old man who struggles with past skeletons and his humanity. They're both excellent, in the right hands.

[@stones96plays3]

I love both to be honest but with old man logan i feel you get a more in depth look into logan the man. Which like you said has been few and far between over the years . But love this new old man logan !
