With this issue starting off in the present, Logan dons his old Patch persona and visits Tokyo looking for Lady Deathstrike. Local snitch Eito is supposed to have some information for him. Turns out to be a trap. Logan still has a bounty on his head and gunmen rush in, pumping the old Wolverine's body full of bullets. It's hard to keep a good mutant with an old healing factor down however, and he springs back up, killing them all except for Eito as a warning.
Flashback to the Wastelands, Logan and Maureen are awakened by one of the Villain Uprising death machines. They run until they can't run anymore. Later they boat into the city and Logan senses the town is abandoned. Suddenly he realizes they're in danger. Running back to the boat, they encounter a street gang who tells them their lives now belong to the Silent Order.
Back in the present, Logan arrives to the address of the Reavers and Deathstrike. He smells machine oil and blood, her unmistakable scent. Finding her chained to the wall and severely wounded, she begs him for help. He asks if it's some kind of trick before being run through by a dozen arrows. Walking out of the shadows, an older member of the street gang from before. He tells Logan how long they've waited. For he now belongs to the Silent Order again,, and with that we're left to be continued.
Still the best book in the Marvel Universe to me. If there's any title I look forward more to getting, I can't tell you what it is. My only complaint is that this creative team can't make more comic books for them. I give it a 10/10 as usual.
