Violence: As the adage goes, Wolverine is “the best there is at what he does… and what he does isn’t very nice.” Blood gushes freely in these pages, and the body count piles high. Set in a distorted Marvel Universe, Old Man Logan presents an alternate look at a hero who is no longer a hero and a man who needs to regain his humanity. For example, no Hulk teenagers run around the West Coast, thwomping homesteaders late on rent payment. ![]() Though based on Millar and McNiven’s work, the movie diverges wildly from its source material. Fans of the 2017 20th Century Fox film Logan may recall a similar story about the gray-haired berserker. About a year-and-a-half after tearing the superhero community apart in Civil War, Mark Millar and Steve McNiven teamed up again for an eight-part saga centered on an aged Wolverine. ![]()

Unlike Trollope’s other set of six novels, the Chronicles of Barsetshire, which revolve around a cathedral town and the lives of the clergy, the Palliser novels have plots involving politics and featuring the Palliser family – the politician Plantagenet Palliser, his wife Lady Glencora, and his uncle, the Duke of Omnium. Having read and enjoyed Trollope’s first two Palliser novels, Can You Forgive Her? and Phineas Finn, it made sense to continue with the third in the series – The Eustace Diamonds. ![]() Today is Anthony Trollope’s 200th birthday!
