Nice end to Lemire's Old Man Logan run with call backs to classic Wolverine tales.

Past Lives is a volume for one purpose: a heavy punch to your gut.
Wolverine is trying to get back in time to the Wastelands to save Hulk's grandson. He asks all the heroes with abilities and they all turn him down, so he has Asmodeus send him back in time.
Asmodeus is a bad guy so uh...he doesn't exactly do what Logan asks him.
It's a heavy gut punch about changing time and living life past/present. Really really cool story!
I love these "Old Man Logan" books. How relevant it feels as I get older with a family.

A lot of reviews bag on this volume for being a retread through Wolverine history, but I thought it was a really good wrap up to Lemire’s run. Lemire didn’t really have any straggling plot threads to wrap up, but it leaves the series in a good place for a new writer to take over and explore Old Man Logan in the 616 marvel universe.
I liked it better than the last volume

The whole Lemire run was about him not being able to let go of the past so it was a very fitting ending. I wouldn’t say it was a groundbreaking ending but I enjoyed it

Despite the fact that the overall premise of this particular volume is kinda familiar, I think it largely works. Lemire has done some great things with this series and in many ways brings it to a strong conclusion. The last section of this volume works particularly well for bringing Logan's emotional arc to a close.
The artist for this volume is talented, and is close to Sorrentino's style which has helped defined this series, but the lack of Sorrentino is evident throughout in spite of his presence in some of the issue covers.
Additionally, as much as the past lives element of this story worked to close out Logan's personal journey, his helplessness throughout left him feeling rather passive and weakened the story overall - particularly since he has been such a force for so much of this story.
So, there were some disappointments with this final volume, but I've loved this series and Vol. 5 still manages to bring it to a satisfying conclusion.

This shouldn't have been as good as it was. A travelogue through Logan's past accomplishing nothing. And yet it was an opportunity to re-frame the experiences. And the trajectory made sense all the way to the end. And we got to see again how Old Man Logan grew out of all the earlier versions. Probably not to all tastes, but pretty good.

Wasn't the Original Old Man Logan story set in a different universe? And if the multiverse was destroyed during Secret Wars, shouldn't that universe have been destroyed too? This book was really disappointing. Logan asks a supervillain to take him to his own timeline and gets betrayed(duh!!), only to realize that he can't change the past. But isn't it technically the future? Ugh!
The only reason it does not get 2 stars is the ending.

Logan comes to terms with his past. Not as good, action wise, as the others so far, but puts him again more in context.

Después de un volumen algo flojo, Old Mand Logan volvió a tratar sobre el desarrollo de Logan como personaje y no de aventuras en... el espacio. El volumen 5 es bastante bueno: trata solo sobre Logan. Y es que estos cómics no pueden ir sobre otra cosa. Una lectura muy buena sobre la culpa, sobre cómo ha llegado Logan a ser Old Man Logan y sobre cómo va a afrontar el futuro.
