Dark Wolverine, Vol. 2: My Hero

You really see how dark Daken can be

Its a great graphic novel. Its part of an abused child's journey. Daken's story is worth reading; Lui and Way are great writers.

I bought the Dark Wolverine series because it was listed as completing the previous wolverine run (after Old Man Logan) but it's really not - so it's just ok. Daken is a hard character to like because he's so different from everyone else (not just wolverine). he's written to be indecipherable by the other characters in the books but that translates beyond the story so i dont find any way to identify with him. unless you are a wolverine fanatic (I am) and you want to have all the # for continuity's sake (I do) then I can't really recommend this or The Prince (vol 1);

After an incident caught on camera where Daken was seen shouting at an old woman and a child, Director of the Dark Avengers initiative Norman Osborn decides to stage a photo op where Daken, or Dark Wolverine, is able to salvage his reputation. Except, inevitably, things go wrong...I like Daken but there are just too many books with him in them where the stories never go anywhere and unfortunately "My Hero" is one of these. The whole "Dark Avengers" idea always seemed stupid to me and Osborn worried about Daken's rep to the public is one of those pathetic storylines which is just too contrived to matter. Throw in a few D-list villains and show Daken doing un-heroic things (he's Dark remember?) and that's it for this book."My Hero" has a dull story at its centre that readers of other Daken books has seen before too many times. Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu are both good writers but this is far from their best effort for this character. Readers looking for a better Daken book should try "The Prince".
