I saw this on IGN and wanted to throw it here for discussion since it does not make much sense to me: Second Coming is going to, believe it or not, step up Wolverine's profile in the Marvel Universe. For the first time, the editorial team is approaching Wolverine as his own franchise, sculpting a set of books with their own identities and missions, and this trio will begin to interact even in their first arcs. Daken: Dark Wolverine is one of those three. The other two being X-23 and Wolverine. Okay I understand the connection but really, it's three different people so how are they really related. Not like the Avengers where there is a similar purpose or goal or anything. These are completely different books with their own focus and the people in them generally hate each other. Even more for the first time in more then 4 years we are down to one lone Wolverine title and suddenly it's a 'line'? There are four Deadpool titles all with him as the star that could be a line. I don't see Wolverine, a cheap knock-off and a female clone somehow being a new beginning. |

i'm actually welcoming the fact that he'll only have one solo title after second coming..daken and x-23's books are very different things..daken and wolverine pretty much has nothing in common other than having three claws per arm. x-23 might have more of a resemblance but i believe her character is developing nicely as a different character from wolverine.. |

I don't have an issue with him having one title. The issue is that now suddenly they are including Daken, Logan, and Laura together and saying this is a line of titles like the Hulk line or the X-Men line. I don't see any real connection between Daken and Logan and Laura and him have not really interacted enough to form much of a bond. just seems like a marketing ploy to try and tie together a stronger title (Wolverine) to weaker ones and increase their sales. |

yep, i don't understand it either. the only reason you can consider daken's book a wolverine book is because of the wolverine in the title..the only thing that's remotely close here is the hulk books but then.. daken is not like skaar son of hulk. and x-23 is in no way like red hulk. they really made no sense saying the wolverine line will have 3 books. right now they can say that the wolverine line has 2 (worigins and weapon x) since those two books are about him. |

Right. I would not have minded if they even had made a line with Weapon X, Origins and Dark (since it started as Wolverine and was presumably going back there) but this makes no sense. First off three titles does not really make a line and secondly they are not really alike beyond powers and claws. Be like having a Wolverine line consisting of Logan, Sabretooth and Deathstrike. |

well i just see it as a family line cause Daken is the son and Laura is like a Daughter. Kind of how Batman has himself Robin and so forth. |

Trying to make the stories cross over and such doesn't make a lot of sense though. There is a certain link between logan and Laura but Daken hates him. |

i'm hoping this will be just for the first arc. maybe what they're doing is that they want to ensure that x-23 and daken's book will sell. so they're going to tie it up so some people who will get wolverine will also get the two.. i'm just getting wolverine and x-23. i'll get daken 1 then i'll probably drop it after.. |

No this is the philosophy going forward, until and unless it tanks. Now that does not mean that they are all going to cross over all the time or even ever, but there will be an 'awareness' amongst they books so that what happens in Wolverine will be acknowledged and maybe touched upon in the others and vice versa. |

yeah thats what i figured as well jrpbsp. both first and second issues mension the Hell arc but it isnt a cross over. Im getting them all anyway so it doesnt matter but i do want them to stay apart and not go into each over so i can get 3 stories insted of one big one. |
