Old Man Logan, Issue #10 continues the story of Old Man Logan in Japan. Then, he and Maureen are captured by the Silent Order. Maureen doesn't know about Logan's healing factor, and she and the Silent Order find out about it at the same time. Now, Old Man Logan is in a well after surviving four days worth of attempts at murdering him. Also, Deathstrike is the captive of the Silent Order; she has acted as their bait to catch Logan, as they weren't exactly going to fight the X-Men to get him.
I love the symbolism of the well, reminiscent of the work of Haruki Murakami. For those that haven't read his work, he uses wells in a number of his books and short stories, culminating in the well scenes in The Wind Up Bird Chronicles, where the main character climbs into a well to get psychic powers. There's also a lot going on that one might miss on a first reading. On page 13, "then," Logan makes a fist as the Silent Order are attacking him, and it's colored in red. Then he loosens his fist, and it's colored in blue, meaning that he could have pulled out his claws, but he doesn't. Very fun.
