Daken: Dark Wolverine #5

Madripoor is under new management — and Daken appears to be the one making that announcement. The cover, penciled by Giuseppe Camuncoli, presents a cloaked, bandaged figure crackling with vivid pink energy, claws extended and a "Madripoor: Under New Management" sign clutched in hand, rendered in a striking muted palette that makes the supernatural glow all the more unsettling. Daniel Way and Marjorie Liu's "Empire Act 2" continues here, and this moody image alone promises that Daken's ambitions in 2011 are anything but small.
