But it is not only the land and people that brings Logan back, but the buried memory of what happened on the night the Heroes fell. The desolation wrecked upon the land by the tyranny of the super villains. The cross country road trip opens Logan’s eyes to the country he had turned his back on.
He is only doing it to take car of his family. For the money, Logan agrees on the condition that Clint understands that under no conditions will Logan fight.

The Avenger is delivering a package across the country and needs a driver, because the once sharp shooting archer is now blind. The drug dealing smuggler who had once been the Avenger Hawkeye. Late on his rent he takes a horrific beating in front of his family and as he lies recuperating, his healing factor kicking in, an old friend comes around with a job. But times are hard and the rule of the Hulks is brutal. Logan is a pacifist, sworn to never unleash his claws again. In the West Coast, what had been California, Oregon and Washington, has become the domain of the Hulk and his inbred family. To eradicate them and then to divide what remained among themselves. They didn’t just want to defeat the heroes. All of them and on one fateful night they all attacked. The one thing that kept them from defeating the heroes. The night when the super-villains figured out the one thing that kept them from winning. His old friends would barely recognize him now…”įifty years have passed since the night the superheroes fell. Either way, he hasn’t raised his voice or popped his claws in close to fifty years. Others say he just grew tired of all the fighting and retired to a simpler life. Some say they hurt him like no one ever hurt before. What happened to Wolverine is the biggest mystery of all. All we know is that they disappeared and evil triumphed and the bad guys have been calling the shots ever since. “…Nobody knows what happened on the night the heroes fell. Well before the current Death of Wolverine storyline. The storyline was originally told in Wolverine 66-72 and the one-shot Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size back in 2003. Wolverine: Old Man Logan by Mark Millar, artwork by Steve McNiven which should not go overlooked here, is a dark and foreboding view of the future of the Marvel Universe. Pound for pound, one of the best written Wolverine stories ever collected into one graphic novel.
