Daken, son of Logan, emerges from the shadows to become the new Wolverine for a dark world!
As one of Norman Osborn's Avengers, Daken has power, access and an identity he hates: his father's! This new Wolverine doesn't know how long this will last, but one thing's for sure: He's going to have fun while it does! Yet when a tape revealing his true colors is leaked onto the internet, Daken will be forced to clean up his act and confront the possibility that being a hero might just be more difficult than being the villain! Then Daken faces a bloody reckoning with Logan and begins a violent rivalry with the Punisher -- reanimated as Franken-Castle! And when Osborn's Dark Reign ends in a climactic Siege of Asgard, Daken seizes the opportunity to carve out his own place in the world by proving that he's the best there is -- or is that the worst? Guest-starring X-23!
