Old Man Logan #13

Old Man Logan, Issue #13 ends the "Last Ronin" arc.  The first arc is a series of battles; it's cool, but the series didn't really start to take shape until the second arc, which is "Borderlands."  In it, Old Man Logan rides north to the Canadian town where the young girl, Maureen, who would in another universe become his wife, lives.  That arc introduces Lady Deathstrike back into the Wolverine lexicon, and she plays a prominent role in the "Last Ronin" arc, which takes place in Japan.  In it, Old Man Logan battles the Silent Order.  

The reds by colorist Marcelo Maiolo define this series, the reds on the cover and the reds of the battle scenes.  So do the three blades of Wolverine, as drawn by artist Andrea Sorrentino, who first came to my attention drawing The Green Arrow, also with writer Jeff Lemire and colorist Marcelo Maiolo.  I like The Green Arrow, but the team has really coalesced around Old Man Logan, which is the title it'll be most remembered for.
