This was an interesting tale. Right now it appears that we have the Logan & Clint Barton show going on. Plus . . it's a road show. It may be coming to a city near you. Basically, what I think is going on here . . Clint's come to ask Logan to take a trip across the country with him. All the heroes fell . . 50 years ago . . and the US was turned into a playground for the villains. The strongest rose to the top and marked their territories. The boys are going to have to make their way through those territories to get to the East coast. Whatever happened on the Day the Heroes Fell, left Logan a shadow of the man he once was. He's sworn to be a pacifist, and hasn't 'popped' his claws since. He obtained a ranch in California . . Hulk territory . . also a wife and a couple of kids. He's pretty out of touch with what's happening in the rest of the world. So I think that this little trip of Clint's is all a ruse to get Logan back out into the world . . and help him find his inner demons . . or Wolverines. That's not to say there's not going to be the usual plethora of 'Marvel-ous' surprises along the way. When the boys make it to Las Vegas . . I'm sorry, Hammer Falls . . . so named because this is where Thor's hammer found it's final resting place . . they find out that Clint's 3rd wife, Tonya, lives there. The surprise is she's Peter Parker's youngest daughter, and their daughter Ashley, who looks like Spider-girl, has been abducted by one of Kingpin's gangs. They have word that he plans on executing her the next day. So it looks like the boys are going to have a bit of a side mission here. Logan can keep his passivity going when he's being punished, but will he have the same control when he sees the loved ones of others threatened? That'll be the real test. This was another fantastic issue my Mark Millar and Steve McNiven. If you're not on board yet, just wait. I'm sure this will be out in TPB form before Christmas. Wanna bet on it?
