The writing and art was pretty cool, and the premise seemed really promising: a post-apocalyptic hellscape, where supervillains have taken control and Logan is just trying to live a normal life. That proves impossible of course, but then the story takes a sudden and unexpected turn. Logan finds himself back in the present day, but in an alternate history to his own, packed with slightly altered versions of classic Avengers.
This is what drives me crazy about Marvel. Why the constant need to integrate the staple Marvel characters into every series? Why the need to recycle stories and characters in “alternate universes”? And why does it take a smart guy like Logan sooo long to figure out that he is obviously in a different universe? Instead of staying in a unique world with unique characters, the story falls back on a revenge plot packed with psuedo-Avengers. The epilogue though goes back to the post-apocalyptic story, and like the intro, it is visceral, dark and gripping. I also really like the epilogue's artist.
So basically, half the story was great, but the other half was a little too generic, and sadly it seems like the generic half is the main story, so I'm not going to stick with the series. For those who like the classic Marvel characters and storylines, this might be a fun mix of classic avengers and dark originality, but the classic Marvel stuff just made me groan, personally.
