Marvel Comics has announced Rob Williams as the writer of Daken: Dark Wolverine with May's #9.1 issue.
"His sharp ear and sardonic wit, combined with his knack for twisty, noir-inspired plots are the perfect combo for Daken to take full advantage of," said 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?"
Here's how Marvel described the Point One issue:
"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!"
