Dark Wolverine has been surprisingly good. It’s amazing how much better this book got with Liu on it. I second Alex’s recommendation.

I’ve been skipping all of the Dark Reign spin-off stuff, sticking solely to the main book, for the same reasons you give above for those books not working. But I’m going to pick up Punisher: The List because of this post. Let those dreaded Marvel editors know that you earned them another few bucks when you pitch your next Dancin’ Bruce Banner story. :)

Really? I think you should probably check ‘em out before you get sad at ‘em. Spider-Man is a ton of fun now, and Dark Avengers is enjoyably dark. Hence the title.

If you don’t like those, there’s plenty of other options, too: Incredible Herc, the Oz books… I don’t think you can condemn an entire publisher, personally :)

I stopped reading Marvel a small while ago. The whole company seems like a mess left over from Civil War. THere’s wasn’t. The Dark Avengers is their highest selling title usually and I have no idea what ‘Dark Avengers’ supposed to be or why just keep putting out new Avengers series even two years.

Wolverine is James…. guy. Spider-man is the worst comic ever. It’s just sad to see what that company has become.

No, haven’t checked out Liu’s take – yet. Not sure I can though. : ) Just can’t get past those dewclaws! These things are usually removed from dogs, aren’t they? Now wouldn’t that be fun to see! The pitch, “Daken, Declawed!” I’d read that in a heartbeat.

Jrrd, have you been reading Dark Wolverine? Marjorie Liu has been doing a fabulous job giving Daken his own character, even if in DR:TL:P he’s written as X-treme Wolverine. I’d check it out if you haven’t.

Alex, I’m venting…

In posting the Daken cover from Pun., and his actions therein, its triggered my frustrations with the character. God help me, everything about Daken irritates me to no end! An no, not because of good writing.

It’s the silly tattoo, his name, his ridiculous dewclaws. Given my level of irritation my money says Marvel has BIG plans for him, especially as Wolvie’s son.

As a bastard son myself, I wouldn’t write Daken like this. It makes me ask, what’s interesting about this guy? Am I alone in this, anyone? Is this thing on?

FF 572 was great;however, the other Reeds wasn’t really resolved. Reed basically just walked away because of friends and family. I have a feeling Hickman will come back to this at some point. Also check the new letters page as Hickman explains why he opened with a Reed-centric story !
