This issue is a wild, crazy ride from start to finish. The final pages are some of the strongest of the entire story. At the same time, they lead me to wonder how Millar will be able to fill an entire Giant-Size issue.

There is something for everyone in this issue. Wolverine #72 is definitely worth the cover price. I definitely recommend getting this issue.

Not only does Millar have a knack for writing this character, but he has done something most writers only attempt the opposite of.

The latest part of “Old Man Logan” may just be the best yet in some ways. It isn’t deep, but it sure is a hell of a lot of fun. The visuals are memorable, the Red Skull is awesome, and the shit…well it finally gets real.

In the end it was an enjoyable if predictable issue. It sets up the finale very well and gets you motivated to read it. While it may not be the most original story, it is an effective one and fun to read. I expect the trade of this story will be an amazing read where you will likely not even notice most of the flaws.

Another great installment in a great series, mixing humour, self-reverence (of Marvel icons) and darker material.

I could go on about some other things I hate, but I’ll just put it this way; don’t bother. I personally like this story, and the art is fantastic, but with delays as they are, you’re far off just waiting for a trade to come out.

This issue came very, very close to being the week’s #1 book and probably would have were it not for the delays taking away some of the momentum and for the anti-climactic nature of Logan becoming Wolverine after killing a bunch of dudes ... Do not miss this one!

This will probably read a million times better in trade and I actually regret picking it up in singles now. Momentum has been sapped and, while pretty, it's a very cliched Mark Millar story on top of it all.
