In 2008, you read the adventures of
Old Man Logan traveling the country with a blind Hawkeye in a world dominated by supervillians. It was a story so popular, it spawned a sequel in 2015 as part of
Secret Wars, an ongoing series in 2016, and served as an inspiration to this year's
Logan, Hugh Jackman's final film as Wolverine. Now, you'll be able to follow the adventures of
Old Man Hawkeye, a new 12-issue limited series set five years before the original events of
Old Man Logan.
The series will be written by Ethan Sacks, a longtime Daily News reporter, with art by Marco Checchetto.
"In this story, he's losing his vision and that sort of forces him to confront something really horrible that happened to him personally 45 years ago, and go on his own hero's journey while he still can," Sacks said in a statement to the
Daily News.
Marvel Comics Editor-In-Chief Axel Alonso had this to say,
"Old Man Hawkeye is, on its own terms, an epic story, Readers will gain insight into previously established characters, explore new corners of the Wasteland, meet new characters, and discover exciting Easter eggs all throughout Clint's journey."
Old Man Hawkeye will be Sacks second entry into the Marvel Universe, as he wrote an 8-page backup story earlier this year centered on the Daily Bugle for
Secret Empire: Brave New World #3. Sacks seems pretty excited about the prospect of writing once again for Marvel,
"My mom always used to say I spent far too much money on comic books," Sacks said.
"But look at me now."
The first issue of
Old Man Hawkeye will be released in January. Check out the cover to issue #1 as well as some teaser art by Marco Checchetto, and let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
