"Marvel Comics has announced the cancellation of Daken: Dark Wolverine. Editor-in-chief Axel Alonso revealed that Rob Williams&amp;#039; Wolverine spinoff title will soon be drawing to a close. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s always disappointing when a title comes to an end. I&amp;#039;ll bet everyone reading this column still mourns the death of a title or two they loved - and wonder why the book didn&amp;#039;t stick,&amp;quot; he told Comic Book Resources. &amp;quot;And I guarantee you that as frustrated as a fan might be, there&amp;#039;s a writer, artist and an editor who are even more disappointed. That&amp;#039;s just the way things go sometimes. The market won&amp;#039;t support it. &amp;quot;That said, I&amp;#039;m proud of [recently cancelled Wolverine spinoff] X-23&amp;#039;s run. Two successful limited series and an ongoing series ain&amp;#039;t bad. &amp;quot;Ditto for Daken [who is also ending his series]. From a supporting role in &amp;quot;Wolverine: Origins&amp;quot; to the lead of [an] ongoing series that included him slicing Frank Castle to bits... &amp;quot;Both were characters that gained traction in a market that, well, doesn&amp;#039;t really have a great track record of supporting new stuff. And both characters anchored legitimate monthly titles.&amp;quot; Daken and X-23 join a growing group of recent cancellations from Marvel, including Ghost Rider, Black Panther, Alpha Flight, Victor Von Doom and Destroyers, the latter two of which were announced and then axed before their debut. Marvel is yet to announce the final issue of Daken, but solicitations for February&amp;#039;s issue #21 indicate that it could be entering its final arc then.
