Really engaging and difficult to put down, the fast pace and unrelenting depravity makes it truly unpredictable and really addictive to read. It's so interesting to finally experience this comic to compare it with Logan (2017).

Both feature of the massacres of the X-Men, but the movie reframes it as Charles Xavier's fault, whereas the comic originally made it Logan's fault, influenced by an illusion manifested by Mysterio.

There are a tonne of other changes too, but overall I found the comic to be (somehow) more unforgiving and obviously much bigger in scope when it comes to implicating a lot of characters in the Marvel universe. Also Logan's wife and kids in the comic (who we don't get to know and barely see) give this an Unforgiven vibe which I think is a lot more subtle in the movie. Overall, a really interesting read that I'd really recommend! There's a lot of surprising stuff in here and it's definitely not boring!!
