Wolverine #83 - Marvel

It turns out . . those Asgardians that were messing with Daken last issue, were actually the Fates. Somehow they been cut off from Asgard, so . . they've also been cut off from Ragnarok. Which means that the cycle of Ragnarok has been broken. However, without it . . Asgard will cease to exist. And since Asgard is now grounded on Earth, they need an agent of Earth to trigger the rebirth of their world. That's where Daken comes in. At the end of last issue, where we saw Daken kill Norman, that was actually just a vision. A vision created by the Fates to show Daken what he wanted most. It was kind of a gift from them to him. So now that they have his attention, they show him, and explain the nature of . . Ragnarok. However, Daken doesn't like to be used. By anyone! He's willing to help the Fates achieve this, but . . he'll only do it on 'his' terms . . no one else's. But as are the habits of the Fates, they aren't done messing around with Daken . . yet. 'We went to far. Overstepped our bounds. Underestimated him. All is not lost sisters. We have shown him his greatest desire . . now, let us show him his greatest fear.' I have a feeling that Daken is going to be put through the ringer on this one. Overall I thought it was an interesting chapter in this Siege saga by Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu. I thought it was ironic the way the Fates are messing with Daken, considering the way that he's been manipulating everyone else. And I'm really enjoying Giuseppe Camuncoli's pencils here. I already knew that he was talented, but it seems like he's stepped it up a bit for this book. All in all, I've really been enjoying this title. Much more than I expected to.
