Daken, Dark Wolverine Vol. 4: No More Heroes

Finally Daken's true colors have come to the forefront.  He has always been a villain & now the whole world knows it.  This volume was just as good as the previous one & shows how cruel & deceptive Daken can be to Wolverine & the heroes of New York City.  Daken is dying due to his over exposure to the drug heat, so this final volume is his swan song before he disappears.  I am pretty sure he is not dead by the end of this but it is a great ending to the series.  Daken's relationship with Donna Kiel sends sets him to do this one last vengeful attach at those he used throughout the series.  In a way this series is about self discovery much in the same way X-23's series was.  The difference however is the Larua embraces the discovery of who she is & what she can be while Daken refuses to embrace who he is.  In a way both of these series have had a "Of Mice & Men" quality about them.  This series went a little longer then X-23's & helped ramp up the tension going into Avengers vs. X-Men.
