Deadpool Vs. Old Man Logan | Comics

Old Man Logan tries to rescue a powerful young mutant and all Deadpool does is to lend a helping hand to make everything complicated.

In a New York subway, a bunch of punk kids were harassing the passengers, regarding which an old woman was willing to pay money for someone to teach them some lesson unaware of who is she sitting next to. Apparently, it was the world's most skilled mercenary Deadpool and he took the job for only $25.

When he delivered as contract and it was time to pay him off, she ditched him as an old fellow was pushing forward. Angry for losing his bucks, he look up to the guy and starts following to find out it was Old Man Logan.

In his typical annoying way, Wade gives a chase to Logan through the middle of a park with his Katanas, demanding an apology while the latter was on chase for something. Seeing no other way to get rid of Wilson, Wolverine reluctantly unsheathed his claws and engaged in a brawl with him.

Their fight was cut short when people start screaming and started running around seeing a little girl sitting in the park. Despite Wade wanting to lend a helping hand, he is knocked off and Wolvey offered his help to the girl who just ran off from the scene.

Then a hot dog stand fall off the sky in front of them and sending Wade to look up for the girl, Logan heads to take care of some business. A group of private military ambushes on him from an airship to acquire some weapon and being an ex-operative of Weapon X, he believes it is him.

However, it turns out that these guys are after the mysterious young girl from the park and their leader Agent Hart makes it clear that they are not here for Logan. Regarding him as a waste of time, the soldiers took off and followed the mercenary.

Wade eventually finds the girl out, whose name is Maddie and as the troops came looking for her, he made a quick work of them while Logan took out the other team and told Hart to quit. Surprisingly, the girl doesn't want help from any parties but the wisecracking fool won't leave her alone. She ran and more soldiers arrive to finish the job.

Riding back with Deadpool on a bike, Wolvey reveals to him that Maddie is an Omega-Level mutant and a very powerful teleporter that a shady weapons manufacturer organization named GenForm wants to experiment on to, which is what he is trying to prevail all along.

She is incapacitated and extracted by GenForm soldiers and while trying to stop them Logan and Wade got gunned down. She has been tortured and ran various tests on as soon as they got her into a lab. Trying to track her down, they two walked straight into a test site for GenForm and they forced her to teleport vehicles onto them.

When pummeled down with a plane crushing down on them and finally captured, their scientists couldn't resist experimenting on Logan but by doing so, they have unleashed the berserk animal.

Deadpool Vs. Old Man Logan

When a cranky X-Man crosses path with a wacky Merc, things of course get crazier than usual and that is what becomes the main plot for Deadpool Vs. Old Man Logan limited series. Marvel Comics had Declan Shalvey (28 Days Later, Moon Knight) act as both artist and writer for the project at the end of 2017.

Instead he took help from penciller Mike Henderson (Illuminati – Life of Crime, Secret Wars – Battleworld) on illustration. Shalvey did take time out to provide cover arts for the five-part series though.

Though Deadpool and Logan is already two unlikely ally despite their shared past as subject for top-secret government program. Old Man Logan is just another bad-tempered incarnation of the legendary animal Wolverine, who came to the reality of Earth-616 after "Secret Wars" has ended and still trying to figure his way though.

After he annoyed the hell out of The Avengers, Spider-Man and X-Men, Wade decided to go solo but bumped into Logan and now they are in for a ride that none of them willingly signed up for.

All-Star Batman – My Own Worst Enemy | Comics

In order to cure Harvey Dent to get rid of his villainous Two-Face persona, The Dark Knight takes on a cross-country trip!

In New Jersey, Auggie Mac's Diner was having a sunny summer day with its regular customers and patrons but then suddenly Batman comes crashing down through the window with two other hired guns; Firefly and Killer Moth following his tail.

He makes a quick work of them both by wrapping the former in his cape and incapacitating the latter by  stabbing into his wrist gauntlet as they were about to threaten the lives of civilians present there. Before he catches his breath, two mechanical arms of the mercenary and former Suicide Squad member Black Spider pulls him from behind.

He throws Batman into a nearby picket fence after dragging him off the diner thinking him outgunned but soon, The Dark Knight comes back at him with a chain saw to take him down. Firefly recovered and came back to take a shot at him when he is engaged but ran with tails between his legs after receiving a cold stare from the Bat.

Batman then finds himself up against the mob of locals seeking a bounty on his head and Two-Face appears from behind. As the crowd shoots him down, Batman quickly grabs Harvey Dent and cutting all communications, hits the road in a truckers' rig.

All Star Batman – My Own Worst Enemy | Comics

It all started a while ago when Gotham's former District Attorney and an old friend of Bruce Wayne; Harvey Dent reaches out to him for his help to locate a formula which would allegedly got rid of his twisted Two-Face persona and cure him forever.

Despite his own doubts and Alfred's protests, Bruce decides to help his old buddy anyway to give him a chance to become normal again and takes off with Dent in his Batplane to a 500 miles long journey. Dent's alter ego secretly puts a back-up plan of causing an acid rain over Gotham in motion to make sure Batman never succeeds.

In addition, Dent's alter ego made an open offer to anyone who would stop them from reaching destination of paying a combined fortune of Gotham's three biggest crime lords and then a missile is fired at the Batplane, which knocks it down.

This is how they ended up on New Jersey earlier and now the Caped Crusader comes face to face with the crowd of heavy-hitters like Amygdala, Killer Croc and King Shark in his road-trip. This trio of muscles tried their best to crush their enemy into puddle for that huge stack of cash dent offered but they all eventually sought defeat one by one.

Moments later, Cheshire and Copperhead sneak attacks on Bats with poison darts, forcing him to jump off the train they were travelling. Upon resurfacing, more men came out of nowhere and shot Batman down before transporting them to a new location.

Meanwhile, Black Mask, Great White Shark and The Penguin of Gotham Organized Crime secretly meets master assassin Anatoli Knyazev AKA The Beast for a road kill. He agrees to one condition and asks them to clear the mess he is going to leave behind for this job. What these crime bosses didn't know is how messy it is going to be.

All-Star Batman – My Own Worst Enemy

With the Rebirth of DC Universe, two of most celebrated superstar comic-book creators of recent years have teamed up for an all-star saga of The Dark Knight. Featuring first five issues of the ongoing series, there was another sub-plot "The Cursed Wheel" by the same writer and artist Declan Shalvey (28 Days LaterMoon Knight) as well.

Acclaimed comic-book writer Scott Snyder (American Vampire, The Wake) and Eisner Award-winner renowned artist John Romita, Jr. (Superman – Before Truth, Superman – The Men of Tomorrow) finally unites to collaborate in their first adventure of All-Star Batman ongoing story titled "My Own Worst Enemy".

Road-Trip Action

Batman's new young sidekick Duke Thomas played an important part in the main story and in additional sub-plot as vigilante hero The Signal. Also, the Caped Crusader went against Court of Owls, acting as Dent's goons while lesser-known villain Gentleman Ghost and Royal Flush Gang had a cameo appearance in the entire plot.

The key focus shifts on the menacing bad guy Anatoli Knyazev, once known as KG Beast and is seen as most ruthless than any iteration of him ever played before. This is probably because he is now a part of Batman legacy in DC Extended Universe and was quite intimidating in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Punisher – On The Road | Comics

A new performance enhancing drug called EMC is on its way to get on the hands of all the wrong kind of people. Former marine turned mercenary named Olaf is in charge of the Brooklyn Warehouse district where the arrangement for EMC's distribution was in process. A cold-hearted killer named Face pays him a visit to hand him over a folder containing the supply and route info.

Before leaving, Face left Lloyd and Luther Luckett to lend Olaf a hand if anything goes wrong. While their operation was going smooth, a bunch of enthusiast Drug Enforcement Administration agent Ortiz and Henderson prepares their men for a sting operation from a nearby safe house. Unknown to both parties, Frank Castle was making his own arrangements to inflict his judgment on crime.

Before anyone knew, The Punisher unloads himself onto them as the wrath of god and in no time, he massacred the whole crew. Olaf narrowly made it out and tipped Castle with the folder that Face gave him earlier. DEA agents arrived too late to pick up Frank's mess and Face's employer requests him to take out Punisher.

Using Olaf's info, Castle gets the drop on Face and his goons but the maniac got out alive after going into a frenzy against Punisher upon taking a small amount of EMC dosage. With DEA on his tail, Frank pays Josiah a visit next on his hideout in Vermont and took care of him before he could use his daughter as a suicide bomber. The only remaining question is how to deal with a twisted psychopath like Face, who likes to carve up people's face for amusement?
