Raised eyebrows...

How would Daken have turned out if Wolverine raised him?? How are they going to play this? That Daken is inevitably doomed to a sociopathic life? Or he turns out to be an accountant whose favourite hobby is golf?

Or maybe it's that the family that kills together, stays together.

Really, I'm having trouble imagining Logan as a single parent regularly going to the PTA.

And while I'm talking about Daken again, I found an interesting paragraph from a review of the recent Daken: Dark Wolverine #1 by David Prepose at Newsarama:...Where Way and Liu succeed is they don't just take Daken through the horror and the mud... They take him to all the beautiful people, as well. It's a bit of a soft reintroduction to the character after the duo's stellar first arc, but as the man says, there's a terrible beauty to Daken, thanks to his pheromone-emitting powers. Seeing him mill around with models and designers is a fairly unique method of getting him a new costume - but it allows Camuncoli to amp up the expressiveness. When Daken looks at you, eating a strawberry, watch out - the soft lines around his eyes have the making of a snarl just beneath.
That description makes me think of Desire in The Sandman, another beautiful, dangerous character:
    Desire: Have a grape.
    Dream: I do not want a grape.
    Desire: I can make you want a grape.
The chills up the back effect is the same with Daken.
