Watching the trailers for Logan, it’s easy to see how it was inspired by this comic. The series made a strong impression with its cinematic presentation, western trappings, and brutal, grisly violence. As the journey goes on, we learn more about what happened to the X-Men and why the notoriously scrappy Wolverine decided to put away his claws for good. And thus ensues a grim road trip filled with more than a few dangerous stops. But that all changes when Hawkeye shows up on Logan’s farm asking him for getting to the other side of the country now ruled by Marvel’s worst bad guys. We see firsthand that Wolverine is a shadow of his former self when he chooses to take a beating from one of the Hulk’s brutish, hillbilly children rather than pop his claws to defend himself. It takes place in a future where supervillains rule the United States, the X-Men and other superheroes are gone, and Wolverine is an elderly pacifist living in isolation with a family and a healing factor that isn’t what it used to be.
