Wolverine: Old Man Logan: Days of Anger
Author: Brisson, Deodata Jr, Martin, Petit
=======================
REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS


Why this book:
Because I’ve read the other 5 volumes and I wanna see the next part of the story. 
_________________
Favorite Character:
The Hulk Gang…they remind me of that weird X-Files episode where the family tree didn’t fork…at all. They have a super creepy aura that built up over the entire Old Man Logan milieu. Them chasing him across dimensions is very much in-character for them. And not a surprise that there were survivors after he thought he had taken care of all of them. Bruce was prolific in the ickiest way possible. That dimension’s Bruce Banner was brain damaged from all the gamma radiation, but his whole family thing is just…ick.  

Hawkeye when he's done right is awesome. 

Least Favorite Character:
The easily manipulated, inbred members of the Hulk Gang. They are what they are, but once Daddy Bruce was gone, and Logan tore through the majority of the family in the original OML storyline, the brightest bulbs aren't left on the string for Maestro to pick up and use. This should've been a Juxtaposition, but they are a favorite and a least favorite.

We Can’t Go On Together With Suspicious Minds:
So, he's a Maestro, not the Maestro. Probably another multiversal refugee like the Hulk Gang. Was half convinced he was Old Man Hawkeye before he hulked out. 

Plot Holes/Out of Character:
Considering that Logan has been taught over and over in this series that he should let his friends help him, it appears that he forgot this lesson again. 


Favorite Scene:
The diner fight is excellent. Love me some Logan vs the Hulk Gang fights. 

Favorite Quote:
Maestro’s nihilism and expiration date speech. Well done. 

Cover and Interior Art:
This one is beautifully drawn and colored.

The visuals of Malachi and Maestro are well done. Maestro in both normal and hulked out form is greatness. 

Confirmation Bias:
Telegraphing the turncoat of n the Hulks’ ranks.

Questions and Answers:
Started to ask why Maestro is so afraid of Logan, but he's been wading through the Hulk Gang at a pretty good clip ever since the Wasteland. 

Calling the Ball: 
Think I know who Malachi is. Not giving it away…or who he grows up to be, but yeah…
