Old Man Hawkeye hears Logan's pig poacher sneak in. They tell her to hold it and there stands a Hulk child. Logan explains to her that he needs the pigs. It's how he pays her daddy for rent. She tells him she doesn't care about him so Logan tries something. He tells her she can have one last one. Hawkeye tells him he's gone soft. One day, he'll regret it.

| Whatever... man. |
In today's timeline, Jozelle staggers back to the camp. She tells the Maestro that Logan got loose and tortured one of them, learning everything. He tells them all that it's time to leave and one of his sons tells him they're done running. The old man asks if he thinks he can do a better job and the boy punches his father to the ground. The man gets up and beats the other hulk to death. With bloodied fists, he tells them they're not running. They're being smart.

| Lemme gore this up a bit... |
Back at the hotel, Logan and young Hawkeye walk to the car when Hawkeye asks if he can come along. Logan eventually relents but tells him to keep the chit chat to a minimum. Eventually curiosity gets the better of him, and he asks the X-Man about his future. Logan tells him point blank he gets cataracts, runs drugs for a living and marries Spider-Man's daughter and pretty much leaves it at that.

| So what you're saying is that I become awesome. |
Meanwhile the Hulk gang pulls over to sightsee. The old man calls for one of his young children to take a gander before battle. He then begins strapping bombs to the larger hulk's backs. Hot on their trail, Logan pulls into their previous spot. He sees the missiles scattered across with ground, but the nuclear cores are gone. Wondering where they've disappeared to, someone speaks up.
Cambria - the female hulk who'd previously grown a conscience and been ostracized from the group, stands before them. They've met before. He once helped her when he didn't have to. She offers to help find them, but she asks that they do all they can to help protect the children beause time is running out. We see the missile equipped Hulks talking to the air and with that, we're left to be continued.

| Word to your moms, we came to drop Hulk bombs. |
This series dipped a little bit to me since the very first creative team launched it, but it's working it's way back to the top of my list. Ed Brisson does a fantastic job meandering between the Wastelands world that Jeff Lemire left him and the Old Man Logan of today. The artwork is good too. Maybe not Andrea Sorrentino good but certainly complimentary of the story-telling. I give this one a 9/10.
