12 Things I Loved about Daken: Dark Wolverine #4Every time this comic comes out, I fear it won't be the same - the quality will slip, the subtle tensions will fall apart, the funny bits won't be funny any more, or the exciting parts exciting. Will the plot become predictable, as with so many other comics ( Read more... )

Ah, now, here's something I can get my teeth into: The Thirty Days of Marvel Meme, Marvel fangirl I am and have been ever since I read... No, no, saying it now would be getting ahead of the game, wouldn't it?

( Day #1: Your favourite character )

From The Fannish Five: Name five characters who would love to attend a family reunion.Seems oddly worded, but if the question means "five characters whose family reunion would be interesting to see" - well, then! Funny how most of the characters in most of what I read lack relatives. So many orphans. And so many people with villainous brothers ( Read more... )

Just because I'm having fun playing with Daken, Wolverine's son, I thought I'd list his ten best moments, in chronological order:

1. Seeing his mother. ( She died... )

I wanted to do a commentary and picspam on The Incredible Hulk #603, just because I enjoyed it so much. This story is full of father issues.

Now, I don't normally read The Incredible Hulk. I think the only times I've read the Hulk comics is when I got them as hardcovers from the library, and read that wonderful run by Paul Jenkins about a decade ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning with that chest cold that everyone I knew had last week. Lucky me. After hanging curtains in my bedroom, I went back to bed and read all those Daken comics I bought yesterday. I'm still missing his appearances in Amazing Spider-Man and Deadpool, but factoring in the material I got from the library (like X-Men: Original Sin ( Read more... )

Ten reasons I'm loving Daken, son of Wolverine:

1. He talks back to Norman Osborne. He fears nothing and no one.
   
2. He's clever.
   
3. I like his sense of humour: dark, impish, defiant.
   
4. He wears designer suits. He dresses better than Tony Stark - except when he doesn't. Wears tattoos and nakedness well, too.
   
5. With a good artist, he's gorgeous. Wild hair ( Read more... )

An interview from USA Today with Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu, the writers of Daken: Dark Wolverine. This satisfies me that the writers are deliberately doing what I hoped they were doing; using Daken's point of view to keep up the ambiguity; making us doubt Daken's badness, or at least, unable to take it for granted; making the character evolve ( Read more... )

My explorations of the history of Daken, son of Wolverine, led me today to read the beautiful hardcover edition of Dark Avengers: Molecule Man by Brian Michael Bendis and Mike Deodato. Bendis is one of my favourite comic book writers; Deodato one of my favourite artists. I enjoyed this thoroughly ( Read more... )
