December Heroes
The first one shot, Wastelanders: Wolverine #1, will arrive at your local comic shop beginning on December 1st, 2021. This story will be set in the time after the original 2008 Old Man Logan story, which was co-created by Mark Millar and Steve McNiven.

“It’s such a rare, bloody joy to be able to transport readers back to the universe of Old Man Logan in the one-shots for WASTELANDERS: WOLVERINE and WASTELANDERS: BLACK WIDOW,” DeKnight told Marvel about the latest event which will see Logan protecting the progeny (Baby Hulk) of one of his rivals in the Wastelands (Hulk, Red SKull, Doom).
Excitingly, a new issue will appear on each of the four subsequent Wednesdays in the month, with the fifth arriving on December 29th, 2021.

Each of the one-shots will see the “old man” versions of the character facing off against various external threats – not to mention their own personal demons – as they attempt to survive in this strange new barren world!
In Wastelanders: Hawkeye, Clint Barton has lost his eyesight. However, he’ll be teaming up with Matt Murdock for expert guidance on how to ensure his arrows still fly right!
