Brief Plot Summary
In Old Man Logan #6, Logan seeks solitude and
redemption in the remote town of Killhorn Falls, hidden in the frigid
wilderness of northern Canada. Hoping for peace and a chance to protect a key
figure from his dark future, he instead finds the town threatened by the Reavers
— cybernetic killers with a long-standing vendetta. With communication lines
severed and the townspeople caught in the crossfire, Logan is forced into a
savage last stand. Every blow he lands isn’t just survival — it’s a desperate
attempt to rewrite a future he hopes to avoid.
Notable Arcs or Storylines
This issue concludes the "Killhorn Falls" arc, the
first major storyline in the Old Man Logan (2016) solo series. It
reinforces Logan’s internal struggle to distance himself from the monstrous
world he escaped, while also emphasizing that violence continues to follow him,
no matter how far he runs.
Fan Theories or Interpretations
Some fans speculate that Maureen Boudreaux might
symbolically represent Logan’s future wife (also named Maureen in the original Old
Man Logan timeline). This potential parallel deepens Logan’s emotional
attachment and fuels his obsessive need to protect her, even if he knows the
timeline may not align. Others interpret the entire Killhorn Falls arc
as Logan’s futile attempt to deny his violent nature — a theme echoed
repeatedly through dream sequences and internal monologues.
Review Summary
Old Man Logan #6 delivers a brutal, emotionally resonant finale to its opening arc. Jeff Lemire's writing strikes a powerful balance between gritty action and heartfelt introspection, allowing readers to connect with Logan’s pain and purpose. Andrea Sorrentino’s artwork is hauntingly beautiful, with fragmented panel designs that convey chaos, isolation, and tension. The character depth, especially Logan’s haunted psyche, is fully explored without slowing the pace. It’s a savage, soul-searching issue that proves Old Man Logan is more than just another violent Wolverine tale — it’s a meditation on consequence, identity, and survival.
