Marvel has announced today that come the May issue of Daken: Dark Wolverine, Rob Williams will be on board as the new writer. Williams comes on board with the #9.1 issue as part of the Point One initiative that will allow new readers wanting to get into the mind of Marvel’s newest crime boss. As Marvel puts it, in one fell swoop, Daken single-handedly executed a ruthless takeover of Madripoor’s criminal underworld and now he’s in pursuit of a new prize – the City of Angels! Too bad that Wolverine and his fellow Avengers are ready to stand in his way!
“I’m so excited to have Rob Williams coming on board DARK WOLVERINE. His sharp ear and sardonic wit, combined with his knack for twisty, noir-inspired plots is the perfect combo for Daken to take full advantage of,” explains editor Jeanine Schafer. “We’re ramping up for a blow-out year – Daken has his sights set on a new status as a true kingpin, pulling all the strings, and stopping at nothing to get what he wants. Lots of gorgeous men and women, double-crosses and the constant threat of going over the edge. What more could you ask for in a great noir?”
With Williams onboard as new ongoing writer with this introductory Point One issue, a new era for West Coast crime begins as Daken sets out make his own kind of killing in Hollywood! Discover the makings of Marvel’s next great super-villain and his grand plans for the future this May in DAKEN: DARK WOLVERINE #9.1!
