To Marvel lover who may not be conversant with theOld Man Logan , orHawkeyecomics ( or the fancied human beings of Earth-807128 in which they ’re set ) , the premise was never too complicated . When introduce by Mark Millar and Andrea Sorrentino , it was just " a future tense . " One in which the villain united , killed all the hoagy with Wolverine ’s ignorant help , and carved up theMad Max - esque wasteland among themselves .
But paladin like Hawkeye still remember how things used to be , as shown inOld Man Hawkeye#5 , back when he and Nat called Avengers Tower dwelling .
Of course , that wasbefore Hawkeye was tell on by his teammates , saw his friends and loved ones murdered , Red Skull became President , Hulk filled California with his inbred offspring … you get the idea . But the image of Avengers Tower shown in the flashback should stand out , since it ’s a atomic number 6 - copy of the translation in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . A no - brainer for fooling fans , but a contingent deserving noting for veteran funny book fan .
Why ? Because the Avengers Tower has existed in the comic strip for decade , long before Joss Whedon and his artistic production team design the version introduced in the firstAvengersfilm . earlier project as Stark Tower , the asymmetrical silhouette and " Stark " stigmatisation would eventually morph into the Avengers ' official base of operations . And that excogitation , including placement of the " A " became immediately recognizable across all other MCU photographic film and television receiver shows . And , apparently , in the past once inhabit byOld Man Hawkeye .
But before rooter get to wondering what Ethan Sacks and Marco Checchetto are up to , and intend readers to make the connexion to the MCU , another familiar face induce a surprise visual aspect . It’sBullseye who ’s hunt down Hawkeyefor one last supervillainous rush , but he ’s not the Red Skull ’s secret arm .
That accolade expire to Bucky Barnes , a.k.a . the Winter Soldier .
Again , it ’s not the amusing book rendering of Winter Soldier from the story adapted to theCaptain Americamovie - but that exact version . The hair , costume , mask , and weapon are all based on the MCU avatar played by Sebastian Stan ( and eventually " cured " by Steve Rogers and Shuri ) .
Paired with the Avengers Tower , lover get to ask some incredible question . Questions that may not have an impact on the " canon " realize by Marvel , but are sure as shooting being raised by the storytellers . Are lover to deduce that theOld Man Hawkeye / Loganfuture was once the reality see in the MCU ? And if not explicitly the movie universe , is it one that was once identical to it , before diverging into a bleak and frightful future ? It ’s a fun musical theme to view , especially since it ’s one step ahead of Marvel Studios , alreadylinking the Avengers past with an ten - Men hereafter .
And finally showing Hawkeye getting to asterisk in a badass level … even if it takes the end of the world to make it occur .
