Is the “Dark Wolverine” title really as much of a success as one of the questioners in the Daniel Way/Marjorie Liu interview said? From this interview, it sounds like there are plans for “Dark Wolverine” to continue with Daken for a long time. Wolverine has been kicked out of his own long-standing, on-going series, and is now shuttling around too many splinter and alternative titles, it looks like. Overexposed, yet spead too thin. Is this the beginning of a long downward spiral into marginalization by the corporate suits for a character that more often seems to be caricature?
