Quote: “My name is Logan.””Sure it is.” This book collects Wolverine #66 – 72 and Old Man Logan Giant-Size. It is by the same creative team behind the main Civil War book from Marvel and the recent mini-series Nemesis – Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. The story is… Continue reading
This book collects the 3 issue Fever mini-series by Brendan McCarthy and an early meeting between Spider-man and Doctor Strange from Spider-Man Annual #2 by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko.
