Wolverine: Old Man Logan

In a dystopian future where Marvel's villains have carved up America, an aged, pacifist Logan is forced out of retirement for one last desperate journey across the wasteland. Launched in 2010 by writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven, this standalone Marvel prestige project reimagines Wolverine as a broken man haunted by a terrible secret. Its stark, cinematic storytelling and gut-punch ending established a haunting alternate future that would echo through the character's mythology for years to come.
