Death of Wolverine

Firstly I would like to apologies for not posting as much as I did. I have summer stuff to do and I don't always bring my laptop with me as very few of the places I go to have Wi-Fi so I am sorry. But let us not dwell of the past and focus on this somewhat older news.

So with the slew of new changes marvel is pumping out they also decided to play around with Wolverine. It was announced that Wolverine had 3 MONTHS TO DIE!!!!! (duh duh duh)
 


Personally I didn't pay this much attention. I mean it said that Wolvey had 3 months to die. But now his months are up and Wolverine is hitting the hay. I am not to fazed by this. Important comic book characters die all the time.

Superman died fighting doomsday but he came back.
Captain America died in Civil War and came back as Captain Steve Rogers.
Batman was killed by Darkseid and came back after a year.
Spider-man was killed during Superior Spider-man and you guessed it came right back.

They come back because they need to. Because people buy comics so they can read more about there favourite characters.

So as we know Comic book death means nothing in the 616 universe. And I have now doubt that Wolverine will "claw" is way out of death soon. (Oh man I'm sorry for that claw pun). But I want to see what they do with this death. How much of the Marvel Universe will be hurt because of this. Wolverine has probably been on every marvel team there is. So I what to see who's going to show up at the funeral. I know will see the Avengers and X-men but what about Cyclops? Will Scott show up to mourn his old friend and partner? And how will people mourn him. I am not going to lie I do want to see Logan get a James Howlett School for Higher Learning out of this.

I also want to see how long he is going to be dead. Will the outrage and demands of fans resurrect him within the year? Or are the writers at Marvel going to savoir their time and see how long they can hold out.

But there is one thing that needs to happen. This death needs to matter! Now with the drama and sophistication of  modern comics death is starting to become rather meaningless. So there needs to be real change that comes out of this. And it can't be glossed over, this needs to stay with Wolverine for a long time. Because if they don't it's just going to be dumb and forgettable and it'll make you wonder why people decided to even kill him off in the first place.

So the Death of Wolverine what are your thoughts on it? What do think was the best written comic book death and what do you think was the worst?
