True Believers : Wolverine- Old Man Logan #1
Mark Millar (w), Steve McNiven (a)
Marvel Comics

Liz says: In the lead-up to the cinematic release of Logan, Marvel released reprints of some of the most iconic stories featuring Wolverine and X-23 as part of their True Believers series. At a one-dollar price point, these issues are a great introduction to classic material. None are more relevant to the film than True Believers: Old Man Logan #1, the first issue of the story on which Logan is loosely based. Revisiting this first chapter reminded me how different Mark Millar’s 2015 story is to the film but also how tonally similar they are (it also made me want to reread the whole graphic novel). An excellent read and an excellent film. Read my spoiler-free review here.
