Publication History
Daken first appeared in Wolverine Origins #10. He becomes a member of the Dark Avengers, as part of "Dark Reign", taking the role of his father. The character also becomes the lead in the Wolverine series, which becomes Dark Wolverine in issue #75. Brian Bendis, writer of Dark Avengers has said:
Daken is one of the best things to come out of 'Origins,' and what better way to piss off his father? He's an iconic and legacy character attached to a number of cool things in the Marvel Universe, but he really hasn't had a lot of face time with it. So we can really roll up our sleeves and see what we've got there and help create a character.
As part of the team he is also a part of the crossover Dark Avengers / Uncanny X-Men: Utopia. He appeared as a regular character in the Dark Avengers series from issue #1 (March 2009) through issue #16 (June 2010).
Dark Wolverine continued after the end of "Dark Reign" and finished with issue #90 with the prelude for the "Empire" storyline, that continued in the new series Daken: Dark Wolverine #1. Writer Rob Williams took over the series in 2011, starting with issue #9.1.
In November 2011, it was announced that 'Daken: Dark Wolverine' will be coming to a close.

Famous quotes containing the words publication and/or history:
“I would rather have as my patron a host of anonymous citizens digging into their own pockets for the price of a book or a magazine than a small body of enlightened and responsible men administering public funds. I would rather chance my personal vision of truth striking home here and there in the chaos of publication that exists than attempt to filter it through a few sets of official, honorably public-spirited scruples.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“If you look at the 150 years of modern China’s history since the Opium Wars, then you can’t avoid the conclusion that the last 15 years are the best 15 years in China’s modern history.”
—J. Stapleton Roy (b. 1935)
