Review: Wastelanders: Wolverine #1

Wastelanders: Wolverine #1

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.

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Robin & Batman #2

Wednesdays (and now Tuesdays) are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in

Each week our contributors choose what they can’t wait to read this week or just sounds interesting. In other words, this is what we’re looking forward to and think you should be taking a look at!

Find out what folks think below, and what comics you should be looking out for this week.

BRZRKR #6 (BOOM! Studios) – The comic from launch has felt like a script for a film or show but it’s also been really good mixing action with a focus on its main character B and the weight of what he is.

By the Horns #8 (Scout Comics) – The series has a been a hell of a lot of fun delivering an interesting fantasy adventure that delivers action and humor.

Cloaked #1 (Dark Horse Comics) – An investigator is hired to find a masked hero who disappeared.

Download #1 (Red 5 Comics) – When Eric is hit by a mysterious blast of light from space, he suddenly finds his mind filled with designs for strange devices. The pitch promised 80s adventure and we want to see if it delivers!

Robin & Batman #2 (DC Comics) – The first issue was absolutely amazing and we’re expecting more of that same quality.

Hecate’s Will #1 (Black Mask Studios) – Written and art by Iolanda Zanfardino, the comic follows a NYC graffiti artist who decides to quit but wants to create one last street art experience before she’s done.

Hulk #2 (Marvel) – The first issue was a bit out there in its concepts but we still want to see where it goes in this horror/comedy/sci-fi take on the classic character.

Just Roll With It (Random House Graphic) – Starting middle school is hard enough when you don’t know anyone; it’s even harder when you’re shy. The graphic novel features a character dealing with anxiety and OCD while growing up.

Third Wave 99 #1 (Scout Comics) – The story behind the controversial late 1990’s Florida surf brand.

Wastelanders: Wolverine #1 (Marvel) – Lets held back to the “Old Man Logan” world of Marvel!

Return to the Wastelands of Old Man Logan in Wastelanders

This December, return to the post-apocalyptic Wastelands of Old Man Logan in five all-new stories set in the Marvel future where heroes have fallen, villains have won, and your favorite characters defy all odds to survive. Brought to you by all-star creators including writers Steven S. DeKnight, Ethan Sacks, Rich Douek, and Torunn Grønbekk, these five one-shots will focus on Wolverine, Hawkeye, Doctor Doom, Star-Lord, and making their first appearance in the Wastelands, Black Widow.

DeKnight, known for his work on Netflix’s Daredevil and Wolverine: Black, White & Blood, will lead the return alongside artist Ibrahim Moustafa in Wastelanders: Wolverine, an all-new story set in the days after the conclusion of the original Old Man Logan, as he fights once again to save the people of the Wastelands who have been crushed under the heel of the Red Skull and Bruce Banner! The super villains united and took out most of the world’s super heroes decades ago, and while the man known as Logn attempted to live a life of peace, he had to pop the claws once again to do what he does best! 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? Logan may not have long to ponder if he is crushed by the adamantium armor of his newfound enemy Downfall! Featuring a main cover by Josemaria Casanovas and connecting variant by Steve McNiven.

Wastelanders mastermind Ethan Sacks, writer of both Old Man Hawkeye and Old Man Quill, is also back with artist Ibraim Roberson to bring you a never-before-told story of Hawkeye’s training with Stick—the man formerly known as Daredevil—in Wastelanders: Hawkeye! Clint Barton’s sight may be gone, but his will to avenge is stronger than ever, and with the training and expert guidance of Matt Murdock, arrows will fly again! But what is Murdock’s actual target? And how will this change Hawkeye’s path in the Wastelands? This is one issue YOU can’t afford to miss! Featuring covers by Casanovas and McNiven.

The Mighty Valkyries writer Torunn Grønbekk and rising star Julius Ohta explore the complex nature of everyone’s favorite tyrant in Wastelanders: Doom! Doctor Doom helped wipe out the heroes on the Day the Villains Won, but even as he rules his domain in the Wastelands, a greater destiny calls to him. When a mysterious power blocks his oversight of a particular region, what he discovers will have ripple effects across the Wastelanders stories! With a cover by Casanovas.

Writer Rich Douek makes his Marvel Comics debut alongside artist Brent Peeples in Wastelanders: Star-Lord! The legendary Star-Lord has fallen on hard times. With the Guardians of the Galaxy disbanded, Peter Quill returned to Earth to find it a wasteland unlike anything he’s seen across the stars – heroes dead, villains in power. While he’s taken out one threat, others remain in the Wastelands, and Star-Lord’s own desire to assuage his guilt for being off-world during the calamity will land him right in the middle of another! Will Quill overcome the mysterious force waiting for him at the site of his lost love’s death? Or is she not really dead at all? With a cover by Casanovas.

Bookending the saga, DeKnight will team up with artist Well-Bee to introduce the Wastelander’s take on Natasha Romanoff in Wastelanders: Black Widow. The Lizard King has grown monstrous and deadlier than ever as the lord of his southern domain. But when rumor breaks that critical information is believed to be stored in his impenetrable fortress, only the greatest spy of all is up to the infiltration: the deadly Black Widow! But who is she, and how has she survived this many decades in the Wastelands undetected? With a cover by Casanovas.

Don’t miss the latest evolution of this fascinating saga when this all-new group of Wastelanders adventures hit stands in December!
