Marvel has been teasing a radical new development in Wolverine’s history with this summer’s story arc, “3 Months to Die,” which robs Wolverine of his healing factor, the mutant power that has kept him alive and kicking through decades of fatal injuries. Now, EW is excited to announce exclusively that “3 Months to Die” will culminate in a 4-part miniseries in September called, simply, Death of Wolverine. Written by Charles Soule and drawn by Steve McNiven, Death of Wolverine #1 hits on September 3 (that’s the cover image above.) The next three issues of the series will follow every week ensuing, climaxing with Death of Wolverine #4 on September 24.
So this is it. Wolverine is really for really real going to die. As in dead dead. Because when a comic character dies, that's it. That's the end. Never to return again.
Until he does. A few months later. Just in time for another characters Big Event Death.
Remember when comics just had cliffhangers every other issue that just made you think that the hero had been killed until a month later when the next issue rolled around. Then you would find out how death was averted. Now it's a media event that turns into long drawn out story lines with tons of tie-in issues.
