DEAD MEANS DEAD.
The writing’s been on the wall for months now… Logan is dying. And he ain’t getting any better. Sick from the Adamantium coating his skeleton, his search for a cure has led to nothing but dead ends. But for once he’s actually trying to leave this world with some unfinished business… Can Logan take his last breath without slaughtering the X-Men again? Not if Mysterio has anything to say about it…
Superstar creative team ED BRISSON (OLD MAN LOGAN, UNCANNY X-MEN) and MIKE HENDERSON (DEADPOOL VS. OLD MAN LOGAN), with covers by DECLAN SHALVEY (MOON KNIGHT), is putting this old dog out of his misery with a bang!

"This is it. This is going to be the big, final Old Man Logan story," series writer Brisson told Newsarama. "Logan's dying and still has a lot of unfinished business to attend to. Dead Man Logan will largely be Logan tying up loose ends - loose ends like Mysterio, the man who, in Old Man Logan's timeline, caused him to kill all of the X-Men. That's not a box that Logan's going to leave unchecked."

That "unchecked box" goes back nine years to the original "Old Man Logan" storyline by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven in Wolverine, where Wolverine killed over 40 villains who attacked Xavier's Mansion only to learn it was an illusion by Mysterio and they were really his fellow X-Men. In this alternate timeline, that led Logan to disavow the 'Wolverine' name and attempt to quietly retire.

Considering Mysterio has his own unfinished business with hell itself . . . might that play into whatever entanglements he gets in with Old Man Logan?

I doubt this is going to connect with what Spencer is doing with Mysterio, but it does seem fitting to bring things full-circle with Old Man Logan.

Wasn't the OML Mysterio a different one then Quinten Beck (who was last a prisoner in the Ultimate Universe, if I recall correctly)?

Yeah, he was the OML timeline's version of Quentin Beck, and speaking of Beck, he's been back in 616 since the end of Secret Wars (2015 version). As of ASM 1 by Nick Spencer, and even earlier in Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider by Peter David, it's been confirmed that he really did end up in hell after killing himself in Guardian Devil and that whoever he owes for his current lease on life is coming back to collect.

I was originally gonna say how it wouldn't really make any sense why he would be going after Mysterio, considering they've established Old Man Logan's future is an alternate reality and not the actual future...but then I remember the biggest clues were that Logan didn't know about Amadeus as the Hulk or Jane as Thor, and now that 616 Wolverine is alive again and those two are no longer under their respective alias, now it actually kind of fits.

Wow, I could've sworn that OML Mysterio was someone else who had taken Beck's mantle.

So, how does Mysterio's deal with the devil fit with Spider-Men? Was that ever explained?
