Old Man Logan, Issue #15 is the second issue From the new team consisting of veteran writer Jeff Lemire, artist Filipe Andrade, and color artist Jordie Bellaire. While I'm a fan of Bellaire and becoming a fan of Andrade, I miss the old team. I'm also not a big fan of classical horror stories such as Dracula and Frankenstein because while the original stories were fresh in the 19th century, they've been done to death by this time. So, Wolverine is battling Dracula.
To be fair, this is done very well; there are flashbacks to Wolverine and Jubilee in better times. For those that haven't had much of Wolverine and the X-Men, Jubilee was his sidekick, a plucky little girl with a lot of fire. Now she's older and has a kid of her own, but both she and Logan have been bitten by Dracula. Jubilee has succumbed to Dracula's bite, but Logan is still fighting it.
I had been a fan of VCs Cory Petit before, but his lettering in this issue is beyond reproach. Too bad that this – I'm assuming – two-issue arc didn't come out for Halloween, but the arc about the Silent Order had to run its course. The next arc promises to be interesting as it's a return to the Wastelands. It also promises a return to the original team of creators.
