10 Overhyped Comic Books That Were Incredibly Mediocre

Old Man Logan is an intriguing exploration of a dystopic Marvel universe as well as an older, more world-weary Wolverine. That said, some of its narrative elements were terribly misguided in hindsight.

Majority of the heroes in this timeline are dead and the rest are under the mercy of a cabal of supervillains (such as Red Skull, Kingpin and a villainous Hulk) who took over after wiping most of this Earth's superheroic community. An older Logan lives with his family in Hulk-controlled territory and due to the pressures of the former powerhouse's family, sets out on a cross-country journey with Hawkeye.

The artwork by Steve McNiven suitably captures the bleak and gory world the characters inhabit, but the generic story itself paints them in an awful light. It is bleak to a fault, and while this is the point of dystopic stories it quickly gets exhausting to immerse yourself into.

Characters such as the Hulk and She-Hulk are extremely off-putting, and Logan's pacifism feels undercooked and its inciting incident is both inexplicable and infuriating. All in all, the story has some intriguing aspects but was a whole frustratingly executed.
