Well, the Old Man Logan story is over . . for now . . so this title becomes Dark Wolverine, and focus' on Logan's son . . Daken. We knew it was coming sooner or later. This is yet again, another of Norman's lackey's that has his own agenda. We keep forgetting that Daken has this pheromone power. He can put out specific scents, or hormones, to create reactions in the people around him. It's probably a defense mechanism to throw off a combatant when in a fight. But Daken has been using it to drive Bullseye crazy. He also seems to push Gargan's buttons an awful lot. Anyways, they have to present themselves at a gala that Norman is throwing . . lots of Senators, and lobbyist with pull in defense contracting, and Norman wants to show off the weapons at his disposal. It's not a matter of who can use the biggest weapons, it comes down to who has the biggest stock-pile and can pull them out to, when necessary, to impress others. Much like Korea and the United States, I think there's more power in having the weapons and knowing that you can use them, than in unnecessarily flaunting them in front of the whole world. It's like a little kid bringing his biggest toy to the sandbox to try to impress the other kids. Anyways, it's funny how Norman thinks he has these guys on such a short leash, when actually the dogs are barking at the door and messing in each others litter-box.
Everything is going along manageably until the Fantastic Four comes busting in. Reed is pissed, and he's holding one of Hawkeye's arrows in his hands, "Actually, you can explain this. I found it in Johnny's leg." Norman looks across the room to Bullseye, who denies his involvement. Hawkeye then glances towards Daken who's holding up a cocktail, with a sinister smile on his face, giving him a toast. This guy is a little sh#$ who seems to like to not only mess in other's litter-boxes, but also to stir them up a bit. He is not giving Bullseye a break what so ever. The next issue is billed as
Dark Wolverine vs. the Fantastic Four. That should be interesting. In the final pages we get a rundown of Daken's history, and appearances, against a backdrop of the covers from the various issues that he's been in. It was interesting, if you didn't know all of it. Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu present the story here. I thought it was great. We don't really get to see him in action, but we do see the mental manipulations that he's pulling on those around him. It's a conflict . . or sorts. Just not the usual enraged ones that we see Wolverine in. Guiseppe Camuncoli does the art. I thought it was ok. It looks like this is going to be our focus for a while here.
