Old Man Logan, Issue #14 starts the new arc, "Monster Wars," where the old Wolverine (in the present) comes into contact with S.T.A.K.E., the paranormal division of S.H.I.E.L.D. In Romania, the members of S.T.A.K.E. storm Dracula's castle as Old Man Logan sneaks in through the back to rescue Jubilee, who went missing a few days earlier. The attack goes as planned until Logan comes face-to-face with Dracula, himself, with whom he'll square off in Issue #15, coming out December 14.
This would have been a great "Halloween" issue, but I'm guessing that the "Silent Order" arc went on a little longer than planned. I visited the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, where this story takes place, in 1995. It's a beautiful country, reflected in the art of Felipe Andrade and new colorist Jordie Bellaire. I do love Bellaire's work, but I had gotten used to the colors of Maiolo in this particular title. I don't know Andrade off the top of my head, but he uses a lot of thin lines to create texture, and I'm looking forward to this new team's work. There's no flashback to the Wastelands.
