Wolverine: Old Man Logan Vol. 5: Past Lives by
4.0
Despite the fact that the overall premise of this particular volume is kinda familiar, I think it largely works. Lemire has done some great things with this series and in many ways brings it to a strong conclusion. The last section of this volume works particularly well for bringing Logan's emotional arc to a close.
The artist for this volume is talented, and is close to Sorrentino's style which has helped defined this series, but the lack of Sorrentino is evident throughout in spite of his presence in some of the issue covers.
Additionally, as much as the past lives element of this story worked to close out Logan's personal journey, his helplessness throughout left him feeling rather passive and weakened the story overall - particularly since he has been such a force for so much of this story.
So, there were some disappointments with this final volume, but I've loved this series and Vol. 5 still manages to bring it to a satisfying conclusion.
