Wolverine: Old Man Logan

This is one of the best Wolverine stories ever written.  No scratch that this is one of the best alternate reality takes on the Marvel Universe.  After seeing Logan in theaters this is a refreshing read.  I really like this take on him as the old family man farmer who hasn't popped his claws in fifty years.  Logan takes a job that is offered to him by Clint Barton who comes on by looking for help.  Logan has to take the job to get money to pay the rent to the Hulk gang or else they will collect in other ways.  As they are traveling  Hawkeye & Logan talk about the war in which the villains rose up & took out all of the heroes.  Their travels take them all the way across the United States.  During their journey Wolverine finally tells how the villains broke him of his violent ways & it truly is horrifying.  The only other story to come as close is the Wolverine Goes to Hell story-arc by Jason Aaron.  His tale really brought the emotion.  Finally our heroes get to New Babylon which has replaced Washington DC.  When Logan finally does pop his claws it is so satisfying.  

The final showdown between Logan & Banner is not as spectacular as it could have been but it does echo their first meeting but it just doesn't live up to it.  The original Hulk vs. Wolverine fight is often imitated, referenced but never duplicated.  This is Unforgiven in comic form.  With this book Mark Millar has crafted a vision of the Marvel Universe that is filled with easter eggs left & right compared to House of M or Age of Ultron by Brian Michael Bendis this is a far superior read.  I haven't read the new Wolverine, Old Man Logan series that Marvel is putting out but this has certainly made me want to look into it.
