It appears that not only has the X-23 solo been cancelled by Marvel, Daken's solo is coming to an end, as well: http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=35553 From a Q&A near the end of the article: There have been a few cancelations hitting the news of late on this front as well from "X-23 and a number of other titles. Is there a takeaway you can give fans about that news? Is it expected that some of these ideas have a shorter run and then go back into the drawer? Alonso: It's always disappointing when a title comes to an end. I'll bet everyone reading this column still mourns the death of a title or two they loved -- and wonder why the book didn't stick. And I guarantee you that as frustrated as a fan might be, there's a writer, artist and an editor who are even more disappointed. That's just the way things go sometimes. The market won't support it. That said, I'm proud of X-23's run. Two successful limited series and an ongoing series ain't bad. Ditto for Daken [who is also ending his series.] From a supporting role in "Wolverine: Origins” to the lead of ongoing series that included him slicing Frank Castle to bits -- enter Franken-Castle. Both were characters that gained traction in a market that, well, doesn't really have a great track record of supporting new stuff. And both characters anchored legitimate monthly titles. We don't do R&D at Marvel. We'll stick by a title for a while -- like we did with "Spider-Girl" -- but there comes a point where that title has to earn, usually sooner than later. While I kinda liked X-23, Daken couldn't be gone fast enough to suit me! Opinions? Reactions? |

Regretably, Daken himself is still alive. so while we may have less of him, we are not free yet. |

Yeah, as long as there's someone in charge at Marvel who actually likes Daken, he'll probably turn up again and again. Heck, even if Daken were killed off - love for that to happen - he probably wouldn't stay dead. Pity.... |

I am sure it has all been said before, but I am all for Logan to have a son/daughter, but Daken was and is such a poor creation and it feels like he was "jammed dow the reader's throats". Logan's children in "Old Man Logan" were more interesting than Daken. I think it is writing 101 and common sense that says when you bring a new character into an exsisting franchise it is best to "ease them in" and let the reader digest them in small doses to get used to them. Instead Daken was brought in as Daniel Way's Gary-Stu character and an exercise in literary self-gratification, in my opinion |

It's a shame that the Wolverine family of Books has come to a end before reaching a full two years. I would of liked to see the letters column grow, especially since they brought back the "Cutting Edge" after being gone for so long. It would of been nice to see Jubilee or another Wolverine book replace Daken or X-23. Oh well. This is a sad day. |

Is the main Wolverine title over at issue 20? I don't see the next issue on the solicitation list for January or February. |
