8 Things You Need To Know About Wolverine: Old Man Logan

8) It’s Set 50 Years In The Future

Old Man Logan is set roughly five decades on from the point in history where the Marvel Universe was when the story was released, and things have obviously changed a lot in that time.

Brief flashbacks revealed that the new status quo was established when the world’s super-villains decided that in order to bring an end to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes once and for all, it made sense for them to put their differences aside and team-up to get the job done. As a result, The Avengers and every other superhero out there were outmatched and fell one by one.

Logan is one of only a handful of survivors, but is living a very different life as a farmer in California, with his wife Maureen, his son Scotty and daughter Jade. In “Hulkland,” he’s a tenant of the Hulk, who now has a large family made up of children he had incestuously with his cousin the She-Hulk.

Broken and clearly a shell of the man he once was, Logan’s problems begin when he realizes he can’t pay the rent and an old friend turns up at his door.
