Notes:
This story arc takes place in an alternate future around 50 years after the superheroes fell and supervillains took charge of the world -- or at least the USA. This happens to be one of my favorite alternate universe st0ry arcs of all time: great story and great artwork.
Summary:
Logan is settled on a farm somewhere in Sacramento, California, with two kids and a wife. Due to some broken tractor, for the first time in twenty years, they will not be able to pay the rent to their landlords, the Hulk Gang -- hillbilly descendants of the original Hulk Bruce Banner. Thinking of what to do next, Logan decided to tough it out and take whatever punishment was coming his way.
The Hulk Gang came and threatened the old man. He played in his mind how he would have responded years ago: claws out and slash. Of course, being the pacifist that he is now, he simply took everything the Hulk Gang dished out without even raising a finger to defend himself. Rent was doubled next month or everyone dies, the Hulk Gang threatened and left.At a later time, an old friend, the former Avenger Hawkeye, now blind, visits Logan and offers him a business proposition. He has a delivery job from the west coast all the way to the east coast, but he needs a navigator. He will pay Logan 500 bucks. Penniless, he really had no choice but to take the opportunity.
And with that, they hop on to -- of all things -- the modified Spidermobile. Thus begins the treacherous roadtrip across the now vastly changed countryside of what was once the United States of America.
