As the event draws ever closer fans are left to wonder, “Will Marvel really kill off Wolverine?” With mounting evidence like Wolverine losing his powerful healing factor, it’s becoming more likely that Marvel will indeed kill of the fan favorite Canuck, everyone is left to question the conviction of a company that killed off Professor X with reports to leave that character dead for years to come. It’ll certainly be bitter if Wolverine does in fact perish, because he was so recently reunited with his best friend and fellow X-Man Nightcrawler. Nightcrawler recently escaped the clutches of death in “Might Avengers”. In this week’s issue of “Nightcrawler”, Chris Claremont teases fans about X-Men deaths when Kurt answers the question of his being dead, “I’m an X-Man. For us it seems, that trick hardly ever works.”*
Now Marvel Comics has announced Weapon Etched holo Foil treatment every issue of “Death of Wolverine”. The landmark series will be written by Charles Soule (“Letter 44”) and have art and covers by Steve Mcniven (“Nemesis”). I suppose with this much fan-fare from Marvel Comics it’s time for fans of Wolverine to stop wondering about Logan’s and start hoping it will not be a long one. This comic fan has only one thing to say on the matter, “Does this mean Cyclops was right!?”
