Well my opinion on the character is well known so all I can say is hopefully it won't be too painful to read.

It really does appear to me that Marvel is marketing Daken as a bigger, more twisted, more intense version of Wolverine for a new generation of readers who may be bored by the old characters. Sort of along the lines of, "Hey, Daken's waaaay badder than his old man! He's not your father's Wolverine!"

Well, I have to say that I am very much enjoying Marjorie Liu's influence on these issues.

Do you think Liu may be asked to write regular Logan/Wolverine after her stint with "Dark Wolverine" is completed?

I doubt it although who knows? He is a flagship though and they generally keep those to the more experienced comic book types.

Wow. Another great issue. I'm loving how Daken is playing everyone against each other. With his natural abilities he's an even more effective manipulator than Osborn or Romulus. All it takes is a few subtle words and the seeds are planted. I'm really coming around to this character and this book.

Still pretty meh on the whole thing. It wasn't bad but i don't like Daken and the plot is not something I really care much about.

Not really the best one for this since I don't much care but since no one else has responded yet here is what I remember.

Basically more of the manipulation. Daken is playing the Fantastic Four against the Avengers (Dark) in some smart and subtle ways. He plants some seeds of doubt in Osborn's mind against Bullseye and then goes to see the FF knowing Bullseye will follow. He convinces them (at least partially) that he does not want to be part of the Avengers any more and then has the Thing beat him up and toss him out a window so it does not look like he talked to them.

Of course Bullseye called Osborn when Daken went to the FF and that was videotaped and then so was the beating he got.
