Old Man Logan, Issue #17 takes place partly in the Wastelands, where Logan is stuck; there he is out to save Bruce Banner's grandson who is a baby. It also takes place in space; there he and Puck are fighting the Brood, a gang of mindless aliens who have Brand and Sasquatch trapped aboard a dilapidated space station. The key to the story is Puck, who appears in both timelines. How is he there, when all of Alpha Flight died in the Villain Uprising? There is also a third timeline, where Banner's grandson grows up to be the Warlord.
The artwork, which includes pages made up of small panes, is beautiful, like always. I'm a huge fan of the three main creators of this comic, as I have mentioned in previous reviews. The third timeline in this arc is more something you feel rather than can explain. Logan gets sent to the past, and in doing so, somehow the Warlord is born. See, the Wastelands don't exist in the main Marvel universe, in any timeline, but because of Old Man Logan going there, they do.
