Old Man Logan

MARK MILLAR and STEVE MCNIVEN—who last teamed for the monumental CIVIL WAR—bring us the most important WOLVERINE story of the 21st Century. Nobody knows what happened on the night the heroes fell. All we know is that they disappeared and evil triumphed and the bad guys have been calling the shots ever since. What happened to Wolverine is the biggest mystery of all.


For 50 years, no one has heard hide nor hair from him…and in his place stands an old man called Logan. A man concerned only about his family. A man pushed to the brink by the HULK GANG. A man forced to help an old friend—the blind archer, HAWKEYE—to drive three thousand miles to secure his family’s safety. Get ready for the ride of your life, Logan.

SPOILERS

 
In an unknown place, unknown time period, the beaten and bloodied figure of Wolverine stumbles in the woods, under a red moon. The heroes fell defeated—no one yet knows exactly how—but Wolverine was hurt more than others. He disappeared and became a completely different person.


Now, 50 years into the future, a secluded farm in the desert of what used to be Sacramento, California. An old man on a horse—barely reminiscent of the fighter he used to be—gets back home. His oldest son notifies him that the tractor is broken again; Logan tells his wife he couldn't get the money for the rent. The collectors are about to come and demand their money.


Logan admits to his wife, Maureen, that he failed himself and his family. He can't pay the landlords, Hulk's grandchildren, and has possibly doomed his family for his mistakes.


Two days later, the Hulk Gang arrives at the farm and demands the money. The leader, Miss Banner, already knows Logan has no money to pay. Her brothers Charlie and Otis are ready to punish him. Logan doesn't react to their yells and suddenly pops his claws, cutting Charlie in a half, to the horror of his family. A moment later, everything is back to normal—the skirmish was all in Logan's head. He then answers that he is willing to take his punishment and the Hulk brothers hit him in a way that would've killed a normal person, the old man showing no objection. The Hulk Gang wants double payment next month and leaves the farm.


Logan is in his bed, bandaged and healing. An old friend, Hawkeye — now a blind man—pays him a visit. Hawkeye offers a solution: Logan will accompany him on a delivery job to New Babylon in the East Coast and get the money he needs for the rent. The next morning Logan says goodbye to his family. He's surprised to see the blind man in the driver's seat, but Clint says Logan's job is to read the map and warn him of obstacles. Logan is also surprised by the vehicle—a new version of the Spider-Mobile. The trip just started and from what the map shows—America divided to 6 different dangerous turfs—it won't be a smooth ride.

Always the redhead

 
Logan's attraction to redheads is evident even in the far future, in completely another life. 

Completion

Finally! Over 50 years from now, the last issue of Ultimate Wolverine vs. Hulk will see the day of light, to the delight of thousands of readers. 

What is and what should never be

Sadly, Logan slashing the Hulk Gang member was only a fantasy. In this reality, Logan bites his pride and lets the villains smash him to pulp. At least Grandpa Hulk would've been proud. 

Eyes on the target

One of the few survivors from the old age of heroes, Clint Barton is now a blind man doing shows with his old bow and arrows. Too bad he mostly hits the crowd.

A new model built by Johnny Storm with modifications by Hawkeye, Spidey's old ride is now perfect for coast-to-coast illegal deliveries.

Logan owes the Hulk Gang. He owes them big, and they’re not the kind to let a debt slide, even for the guy who—50 years ago—called himself Wolverine. So Logan’s agreed to a crazy ride across America with the blind archer, Hawkeye, to deliver a package to the East Coast. First stop: San Francisco…but only if Logan and Hawkeye can make it past—the GHOST RIDERS.

And he isn’t about to let Logan and Hawkeye pass without paying the toll… Plus: the secret of Hawkeye’s daughter is revealed! The biggest WOLVERINE story of the century by the best-selling creative team of the millennium continues! PART 3 (of 8). 

In a decimated future where America is dominated by super-villains, old man Logan lives out his days, but as far as he’s concerned, WOLVERINE died fifty years ago with the rest of the super heroes. Now he’s on a cross-country journey with the blind archer HAWKEYE to deliver a secret package to Hawkeye’s contacts on the east coast. But dinosaurs and earthquakes might just finish them off for good! Plus: the identity of the PRESIDENT is revealed!

Old  Man Logan continues as Clint hears why Wolverine won't fight any more.

Fifty years ago Wolverine and Jubilee are at the mansion and receive distress calls from the Avengers, S.H.I.E.L.D., Fantastic Four, Wakanda and other places.  When she tries calling back, no one answers.  Wolverine tells her they need to get out of there right away but an explosion hits before they can move.  Jubilee is seemingly dead with a piece of rubble jabbed through her head.  Logan is then confronted by an army of supervillains.   They begin attacking and Wolverine tries fighting them off while the students begin to evacuate.  Wolverine is slicing and chopping the villains to shred while calling out to the others, wondering where the rest of the X-Men are.  He finally manages to kill all the villains on his own.  As Bullseye lies in his arms dying, he begs Logan to stop, saying he was supposed to be their friend. 

The mist clears and Wolverine finds Jubilee dead in his arms instead.  Mysterio stands behind him and thanks him for his work.  He asks Wolverine if he thinks he could really take on forty supervillains on his own.  As Mysterio vanishes, Logan is left seeing the massacred bodies of the X-Men bleeding all over the place.  Blaming himself, he simply walked away crying.  He tried killing himself by letting a train drive over his head but it didn't work.  Now Clint knows why Logan vowed to never hurt another living soul.

The next day as they drive through Doom's Head, IL and pass some cloned dinosaurs, little do they realize that the Venom suit has seemingly found a new host.
