In New York's upper east side, journalist Sarah Dewey is assassinated with a playing card inside her apartment. Days later, Old Man Logan investigates the crime scene, finding evidence of the card and knowing exactly who it was - Bullseye. He's then surprised by a fellow vigilante - a woman who is equally seeking revenge from him killing her FBI agent husband. Logan nicknames her Vendetta.

| I HAVE JUST THE NAME FOR YOU! |
Together the duo storm an office of someone who might know his location. As they threaten the mobster, he tells them he doesn't know where Bullseye is, but before he can explain, another playing card pierces the mans skull. Suddenly the dead man's phone rings. Bullseye taunts them from a nearby building. As they run towards the office across the street, they encounter scores of other dead people as it's clear Bullseye plans to leave quite the trail of dead in his wake.
 |
| ...and you will know him by his trail of dead. |
Next, the assassin interrogates fellow gun for hire, Bullet. He seeks info on Vendetta and after threatening Bullet's kids, the merc gives it up. Back at Joy's apartment, she and Logan realize who it is they can reference, while across town Bullet's partner Shotgun prepares to take part in a robbery.
 |
| I'm Shotgun. This hear is Pistol, Uzi, Bullet, and Slingshot. |
As the Logan and Vendetta make it to Bullet's apartment, he explains that his kid is in danger now. Logan calls Glob and asks him to protect the kid. Meanwhile, the robbery immediately goes awry and the thieves find Blindspot lying in wait. He pummels them with weapons as Logan and Vendetta show up and ambush the assassin.
 |
| Heeeeeeeeeeeere's Logan! |
With the cops fresh on the scene outside, the battle rages indoors. Armed with an infinite amount of change, Bullseye makes a run for it and kills several cops making his escape. In pursuit are the police, soon joined by Logan, Shotgun, and Vendetta. The issue ends with Logan getting a call from Glob. Unfortunately Bullseye was able to kidnap his young victim already. What happens next? We’re left to find out as this issue is left to be continued.

| Glob has gotten more pub these last few months than his character's entire history. |
So with every issue getting this series a little closer to it’s end, it’s pretty clear Ed Brisson plans to write his main character out blazing. Only fitting for the old man, who has made such an impact in his limited run that a reintroduction somewhere down the line is a near certainty. Hopefully when it happens, the person assigned to it is able to push Logan with this much gusto, because it’s been quite a ride. This arc no exception, I give these two a 9/10.
