* BloodierAndGorier: Averted. The series is just as gory as its original counterpart, to the point of the eponymous character [[FamilyUnfriendlyDeath graphically dismembering]] [[EstablishingCharacterMoment his first on-panel foes]].



* TheChosenOne: At the end of the series, Emma says that they need a bastard to defeat an even bigger bastard, noting that Logan is who they need to help take out GodEmperor Doom. [[spoiler:This is ''exactly'' what Destiny had foretold in ''ComicBook/{{Wolverines}}''.]]



* LetsYouAndHimFight: Wolverine picks a fight with Storm-Thor and War Machine-Thor for seemingly no reason other than for the writers to [[spoiler: have an excuse to send Logan over the Shield into Zombie territory.]]



* PostScriptSeason: The series takes place after the original story.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Old Man Logan retains his memories and is very confused when he encounters a Thor (The only Thor in his universe is dead), which only raises more questions in itself.



* ShoutOut: In issue #1, Logan's conversation with Gladiator's son is taken almost word-for-word from [[Film/KillBill the Bride's conversation with Nikki Bell]]. Fitting, considering that that film's NewOldWest aesthetic fits in well with the WeirdWest of ''Old Man Logan''.



* TitleDrop: In issue #2, Wolverine is rescued by the X-Men of ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'' and the X-Men are shocked by who he looks like. When asked for a name, Iceman jokingly says "What? Is your name 'Old Man Logan'?", then quickly backtracks as he fears it ''is'' his name.



* WeirdWest: The aesthetic of the series, complete with a man in a cowboy hat riding a [[RuleOfSymbolism white horse]] riding across a wasteland.



* WolverinePublicity: Issue 2's cover depicts Old Man Logan fighting a version of Wolverine (almost all characters from ''Secret Wars'' are just versions of the original) who looks exactly like the Comicbook/AgeOfApocalypse incarnation. ''That'' Wolverine appears nowhere in the issue, nor does Logan meet any other Wolverine. So yes, it technically counts because the cover lies to us about the ''amount'' of Wolverines.

* StealthSequel: Initially it seemed to be just another of the several ''Secret Wars'' miniseries, modeled after an old story. Actually, the purpose of it was to prepare the ground for moving Logan to the main universe, where he would get an ongoing series.

First, he falls in a domain based on the ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'', then in the ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies'' one, then a technological utopia led by Tony Stark, and a crossover with ComicBook/UltimateEnd (a domain that mixes ComicBook/UltimateMarvel and the regular Marvel universe). By the end of the story, he does not return to the Wastelands, but rather wakes up at a new unknown world... the post-Secret Wars Franchise/MarvelUniverse. His adventures would continue in an ongoing comic.

* ActionHeroBabysitter: Subverted. You may had expected that from the ending of the first miniseries, but nope: Wolverine got a babysitter, Danielle Cage, to look after the Hulk baby.
* BigNo: The Gladiator's son, after Wolverine killed his father.
* TheConstant: The city still has a crashed and abandoned SHIELD hellicarrier.
* FishOutOfWater: Logan's journeys into Apocalypse's domain have a hint of this, since while he's experienced that kind of stuff before, he's out of practice. A more straight-up example when he visits Iron Man's domain.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Emma is aged and decrepit, but thanks to her mental powers she can make everyone see her as beautiful as she was at her heyday.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Emma Frost]], by the Punishers. Wolverine even carries a conversation with their ghost, shortly before the reveal that [[DeadAllAlong they've been dead for presumably weeks...]]
* SeriesContinuityError: In the first issue, Logan specifically refers to the Thors, the police force of Battleworld. But in the next, he doesn't know what the Thors are.
* VictoryIsBoring: The hookers are free from their slaver, but what now? What are they going to do with their lives? A long return trip to Santa Fe?
* WhatTheHellHero: Wolverine ordered a human trafficker to remove his daredevil mask. He's nothing like Matt, nothing at all. He tried to excuse himself: he has no idea who was Daredevil, he uses the look simply by RuleOfCool. Wolverine sliced him.
* WolverineClaws: Logan's not shy about using them anymore.
* WolverinePublicity: Issue 2's cover depicts Old Man Logan fighting a version of Wolverine (almost all characters from ''Secret Wars'' are just versions of the original) who looks exactly like the Comicbook/AgeOfApocalypse incarnation. ''That'' Wolverine appears nowhere in the issue, nor does Logan meet any other Wolverine. So yes, it technically counts because the cover lies to us about the ''amount'' of Wolverines.
