This issue of the “Dark Wolverine” may appear similar to “Siege” and “Wolverine Origin” to some readers. However, as they carry on with this issue, they would realize that it is far more interesting than what its frequently used title may suggest. Romulus plays the role of a villain in this Marvel adventure and seems very spotty.

Way and Liu, though manage to bring the best out of his character as they put an interesting twist on his relationship with Daken. This move gives a fair justification for Romulus’s inclination towards the Wolverine’s world who otherwise is mostly involved in a conspiracy that has led to his present situation. The issue also sees the return of Daken who had extricated himself after forming an alliance with the Dark Avengers.

The issue also throws a huge surprise by enlightening the readers with the relationship of Daken with Logan, which was least expected by anyone. The story though seems very unrealistic with the plot filled with manipulations. Logan joins hands with Daken suspecting some foul play from his son and eventually double crosses him. It really becomes difficult to understand who is manoeuvring who at some stages.

Daken seems to be at his best when he is away from the duel between Wolverine and Romulus. The final scene of the issue is also quite intriguing. Stephen Segovia has done a good job with the cover of the issue which seems very attractive. Although the story seems to be doing quite well, the real challenge would come when the book would have to strike out on its own.
