Bendis and artist Andrea Sorrentino are revisiting the world of Old Man Logan. The original story was by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. The Battleworld of Secret Wars is comprised of lost worlds based on classic Marvel stories.
Bendis hinted as the domains of Battleworld this Old Man Logan will be visiting in his tie-in story:
“One is one I think everybody wants him to visit and one is the place he probably least wants to visit but it’s where he ends up at the end of the series that will be the most illuminating.”
Wolverine is known for his teen sidekicks and fellow X-Men. Who will appear in this story?
“He will need some of them and meet some of them but this is a solo journey. there is a surprising amount of Emma Frost in the series.”
