Peter tries to protect Psiot City and encounters a terrifying nightmare monster that seems hauntingly familiar.
Featuring FAITH!
In a world where it feels like we are living in the end days, dystopia as entertainment seems too real. The Walking Dead seemed farfetched just two years. This has caused many to view the show more like a reality television show than escapist fiction. Needless to say, within this genre, it says more about human beings than the circumstances we find ourselves in.
One of the best comic books that takes place in a dystopian setting is Old Man Logan. The movie version also lived up to the book, giving fans what they wanted, a faithful adaptation. The thing is like like with all adaptations, it left a lot out and the story was too good not to be continued. Steven DeKnight and Ibrahim Moustafa bring back Logan for another ride, protecting the progeny of a one time foe in Wastelanders: Wolverine #1.
We are taken to the Eastern border of the former Hulkland Territory of the Wastelands, where we find out what happened after Old Man Logan, as he tried to find peace, but ended up having to go against the Banners, killing all of them except Bruce’s son. As his trek is not without troubles as he settles in Ghost Rider Territory, who challenge his presence and who all pay the ultimate price for it, as Logan’s taste for blood is still fresh from the massacre in Hulkland. As he looks for food and water, an unexpected enemy pops out of nowhere for one final fight. By the issue’s end, Logan stands victorious as Bruce’s son becomes bonded to him, burying his enemy once and for all.
Overall, Wastelanders: Wolverine #1 is an exciting first chapter to Logan’s adventures in the Wastelands. The story by DeKnight is wall to wall action. The art by the creative team is amazing. Altogether, a story that will have readers rooting for Logan to be the last man standing in the Wastelands.

But saving the day looks different with the Baby Hulk under his care. Is Logan doing the right thing by protecting the progeny of the HULK or dooming what’s left of the war-torn world?

The Batman/Catwoman series has been showing us the romance between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle as it has changed over their lives, but what about their connections from BEFORE they became costumed adventurers? The upcoming Batman/Catwoman Special (on shelves Tuesday January 25) traces the life of Selina Kyle from its earliest days to her entry into the criminal underworld and reveals that Bruce was a presence in her life all along. Whether fate or coincidence, it’s even more of a reason why the Bat/Cat romance is one of the most enduring love affairs in all of comics.
Now expanded to celebrate the legacy of iconic artist John Paul Leon, whose untimely passing after a long battle with cancer shocked the comics world this past May, this special will feature the work Leon completed for the original story plus tributes to the renowned artist created in his name by some of his closest friends and admirers. Bernard Chang, Shawn Crystal, Mitch Gerads, and Dave Stewart will bring the original story to its conclusion, lettered by Clayton Cowles, while comics’ top artists gather to celebrate Leon’s creative legacy through pin-up pages and essays in the special, including Lee Bermejo, Denys Cowan, Joëlle Jones, Dave Gibbons, Walter Simonson, and more.
Batman/Catwoman Special #1 will publish on January 25, 2022 with a cover by John Paul Leon and variant covers by Lee Weeks and Bill Sienkiewicz.
