Daken: Dark Wolverine Is Coming To An End

The wave of comics coming to and end for Marvel doesn't stop. Axel Alonso, Marvel's Editor-in-Chief, has announced that Daken: Dark Wolverine will be ending early next year.

The exact date for when Daken's on going is going to end, but issue 21 will supposedly be the first issue of the final story arc.

Axel Alonso also commented on the cancellation of X-23 along with the cancellation of the many other comics that have come to an unfortunate end.

“It’s always disappointing when a title comes to an end. I’ll bet everyone reading this column still mourns the death of a title or two they loved – and wonder why the book didn’t stick," says, Alonso. "And I guarantee you that as frustrated as a fan might be, there’s a writer, artist and an editor who are even more disappointed. That’s just the way things go sometimes. The market won’t support it.

“That said, I’m proud of X-23’s run,” he continued. “Two successful limited series and an ongoing series ain’t bad. Ditto for Daken [who is also ending his series]. From a supporting role in Wolverine: Origins to the lead of ongoing series that included him slicing Frank Castle to bits – enter Franken-Castle.  Both were characters that gained traction in a market that, well, doesn’t really have a great track record of supporting new stuff. And both characters anchored legitimate monthly titles. We don’t do R&D at Marvel. We’ll stick by a title for a while – like we did with Spider-Girl – but there comes a point where that title has to earn, usually sooner than later.”
