There were rumours that Marvel’s seminal X-Men character, Wolverine aka Logan, who was first introduced in November 1974, will be killed off.
The rumour about Wolverine’s death started because Marvel Comics writer Charles Soule has dropped hints in interviews and at comic convention panels that, “Yes, he is really dying” and Marvel has even talked about follow-up that will hit after.
Wolverine. Dying. Sad but true. And as much as that comes as a shock to us, we can’t help but wonder, how..exactly? And when?
Wolverine will be killed off in an upcoming 4-part Marvel limited series. Appropriately titled, “Death of Wolverine”, it will centre around a story purporting to kill off one of the publisher’s most popular and prominent characters. The story will start on 3rd September and will end in the same month. The series will be written by head writer Charles Soule (of course) and drawn by Steve McNiven.
According to Marvel executive editor Michael (Mike) Marts
For a long time, no matter who Wolverine was battling, he’s been the eternal victor. He almost always comes out on top. Now he finally comes up against an adversary that he cannot win against, he cannot fight. What does that mean for this character who’s been around for hundred years?
SAD BUT TRUE
W'ell .... maybe its a marketing strategy who knows he will be revived later ...
