Old Man Logan vs Kraven the Hunter this June

One of my fanboy dreams has come true: James Howlett, aka Old Man Logan, will face Sergei Kravinoff, aka Kraven the Hunter. The showdown was revealed in Marvel’s solicitations for June 2018 and “Kraven’s Hunt for Logan” will go down in Old Man Logan #41 and #42.

Kraven’s my favorite villain and it has always baffled me that the Spider-Man foe has never set his sights on the adamantium-clawed X-Man. Wolverine’s the best there is at what he does, and Kraven sure does love a challenge, so shouldn’t Sergei go after this formidable hero? Totally seems like a no-brainer, right? I figured this encounter may never happen, so I even wrote a very brief and brutal fan-fiction about it – don’t set your expectations too high if you check it out…

The once savage killer, LOGAN, is wounded and on the run in the SAVAGE LAND! In which trophy room will KRAVEN hang Logan’s head? With unrelenting death around every corner, rock, mountain and tree, how long can the tired old Logan keep this up?

Who else is thrilled about this? I'm glad that Ed Brisson's taking the encounter to the Savage Land - it's the perfect setting for this match. It's looking like this story will be a total blast and I can't wait to read it. Sergei's got the tactical edge and he's an intelligent and resourceful fighter, but does he have what it takes to overcome Logan's ridiculously high durability and those dangerous adamantium claws? I'm rooting for Kraven, but I'm betting on Logan...

Comic Book Conversations #9: Andrea Sorrentino

For the ninth edition of Comic Book Conversations, I’m thrilled to welcome Andrea Sorrentino to the interview segment! Best known for his work on Green Arrow, Old Man Logan, Gideon Falls, and I,Vampire, the artist shares details about his creative process, explains why he reads reviews of his work, and gives aspiring artists some great advice. Plus, he offers some insight into one of Old Man Logan’s unforgettable double-page spreads. Now, let’s get to know Andrea a little better! GREGG KATZMAN: When did you realize you wanted to become an artist and what inspired you? ANDREA SORRENTINO: I’ve always liked to draw, since when I was a kid. I clearly remember this drawing I did when I was at the primary school, I think it was an animal in a jungle, and everyone liked it so much that it remained hooked in our room for a while. I think that was the very first push I had to keep drawing. But talking about comics, I’m not sure. I grew up reading Disney comics during ...

Comic Book Battles: Green Arrow vs Old Man Logan

For the second edition of Comic Book Battles (click here for the first fight), I thought it would be fun to use two heroes with completely different strengths and tactics: DC's Emerald Archer versus Marvel's Elderly X-Man! Even in his old age, James ‘Logan’ Howlett, aka Old Man Logan, is tough to drop and he’s a talented brawler; however, his options in a battle are very limited. Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, may not be the best fighter in his universe, but he makes up for that with astonishing accuracy and cleverly using a variety of trick arrows that range from sonics to explosives. To better picture the entertaining encounter, imagine this fight takes place in a generic city setting. It’s nighttime, the street’s unpopulated (aside from the two heroes, of course), and they’ve spotted each other from a pretty good distance – let’s say 100 feet or so. This is a completely random encounter, meaning neither hero knows anything about their enemy – they’re from...

Know a foe: Green Arrow's Constantine Drakon

It was recently announced that Constantine Drakon (played by Darren Shahlavi) would appear in the upcoming Green Arrow pilot on CW called Arrow . But who is Drakon and why should you care? Let me tell you why he's a villain worth reading and, soon enough, watching. Being among the best in the world with a bow and arrow doesn't mean squat when your enemy can effortlessly catch every projectile sent his way. Meet Constantine Drakon, one of the most dangerous men Green Arrow has ever faced. This Greek assassin is quite a short fellow, but for what he lacks in height, he makes up for in speed and talent. This obscure enemy of the Emerald Archer was created by writer Judd Winick and artist Phil Hester, and first showed his face in Green Arrow #27 (volume 3). The killer discovered at a young age that he excels in harming others. And if you're good at something, you might as well make money doing it, right? The deadly villain once made the claim that he has killed more peo...
