To start with, what Taylor's doing with Daken is unacceptable. Completely destroying a well-established, complex and interesting character, and turn him into some soft idiot that is OUT OF LITERALLY NOWHERE a hero, instead of the complex villain we knew and wanted. The cover is, once again, a shameless lie. Somehow the Orphans caught 4 of the most deadly killers without losing any members. I want more

With Daken popping up all over the place lately there is some inconsistency in how they want his character to move forward. With solicitations showing him joining X-Men: Blue in April and his willingness to work with family in this arc I would say they are trying to soften him a bit. With his appearances in Iceman and pretty much anywhere else I would say he is staying the villain who only has the more

I have never really liked Daken before, but I think I only knew him from Dark Avengers. Are there any other stories he was in that I should check out that might win me over?
Try Wolverine Origins, where it was his first appearence as well. Uncanny X-Force is a great example as well. And there's Collision, the first time he and Laura ever met, where it was established that all they had between each other was a mutual respect, not some unexplained, out-of-nowhere sibling love.

Imagine there was a comic in which Laura was featured in. She’s different than we know her to be; say, she’s cruel, bitchy, and doesn’t care about others at all. Nothing has ever happened to explain this change. She goes down in the second page by some random crew, as if she’s incompetent. One of her legs (where her signature claw is) is chopped and she can’t grow it back. Awful, right? more
ORPHANS OF X Part 2
The mysterious and deadly ORPHANS OF X continue to unfold their terrible plan for LAURA and those close to her...but how are they connected to WOLVERINE? And what do they know about LAURA and her past? Also featuring the charismatic and deadly son of Logan - DAKEN!

Sorry to say it, but it's terrible. Nothing interesting, faaaar too many inconsistencies (the facility where they made Laura was destroyed long ago), and if you ever loved Daken, get ready to get really angry, because they've turned him into a weak ass character just to show off Laura's "better" skills. Those writers have absolutely no idea of his character, his skills, his past or even his appear more

The facility was SHOWN being destroyed, back in her own series, if I'm not mistaken! And also, smartass, there are other ways to show off. Just like by showing us Daken falling into the most ridiculous trap I've ever seen in the comics. And if you had the smallest idea of his actual character (and not whatever this is they're doing here) you'd know that he would have killed everyone in that place. Daken doesn't need saving. Daken is the person that would work with the villain.
I wouldn't say he fell into the trap, he mentions it is a trap. I think it is meant to be them taking advantage of his overconfidence. That said I could see where such a light team taking him down could be insulting for a fan of the character.

*Spiral messed around with Deathstrike's body, that is. Including her personality.
Yes, completely unexplainable as well, considering that, before Soule (who's actually a worse writer than Taylor), all they had was a mutual respect for each other, not some crazy siblings' loving relationship. As for the cover, there's a difference between "not depicting exactly what happens in the book", as you say, and having nothing to do with the story.
