  • Summary
    Hawkeye/Clint Barton and Logan drive their way to New Babylon in the east coast. It's already dark when they reached what used to be San Francisco. Clint explains to Logan that San Francisco is now sunk by Moloids, creatures living underground who thrive in the dark and are easily blinded by any light. As long as they have their lights handy, they should be safe.

    They wandered about the remains of the city to look for survivors in order to trade for supplies, when they instead met a punk group of Ghost Riders riding their mystic motorcycles and burning wheels. Logan was knocked down and refused to fight them. After Logan has taken a beating, Hawkeye shoots a hail of arrows killing the Riders. Not bad for a blind guy, although the Riders are probably making a lot of noise making them easy targets even for a blind marksman such as Hawkeye. Anyway, Hawkeye expresses his disappointment on Logan for not even defending himself. Logan gets a flashback of him fighting off a horde of supervillains. He simply said that they broke him. And that's the only reason he's alive.

    Next day, they reached Las Vegas which is now renamed Hammer Falls. It is also the number one tourist attraction in Amerika, where people can buy superhero memorabilia. The Kingpin -- the new ruler of these parts -- doesn't mind that about the superhero stuff being sold here as long as money is to be made. Hawkeye further explains that this is the place where fifty years before the Absorbing Man and Magneto finished off their last great white hope -- Thor. This is where people pray to the fallen hammer of Thor -- thus the name -- for the return of the superheroes...

    Here, they had a chance encounter with Ultron Eight, a servant of Tonya, Hawkeye's third ex-wife, who turns out to be the youngest daughter of Peter Parker aka Spider-Man. They made their way to Tonya's garage who explains to them that their daughter, Ashley, has formed a super team to fight the new Kingpin.
