Marvel killing off its golden Wolverine. I guess they didn't learn anything from DC's ill-fated "Death of Superman."

At least he's not gay.

Yet.

DC made (not lost) a fortune first killing Sup, then bringing him back. Like the New Coke which spotlighted the Classic, Superman did, and now Wolverine will be back with a fiscal vengeance.

Comic book super-heroes never stay dead. Does anyone know if Marvel has resurrected Johnny Storm yet?

he’s too masculine of a character with a no nonsense, get it done, independent attitude.

they need to kill him off and promote more metro sexual/ homo friendly ‘heroes’ that are more aligned with fierce dependence on big govt

About every 2-3 years, every superhero gets “killed” off in the comic books. It’s an age old dodge to temporarily boost sales. Somehow, the superhero is always miraculously resurrected in the next issue.

Somehow, this ploy always reminds me of when one whole season of “Dallas” was supposedly just a dream “Bobby” had.

You’d think in this pro-sodomite culture we unfortunately live in, they’d write him coming out as gay or something.

Can’t have heros who fight for “Truth, Justice, and The American Way”.....

Hugh Jackman was demanding too much movie money. Something had to be done.

I imagine they’re going to kill off all of their non-homosexual characters as well as those who are in the country legally.

I remember when my best toy soldier Sam was killed in whatever war. But he must have been PTSD’d cause he had a lot of flashbacks.

Stupid, cynical attempt to manufacture an event to cash in. He’ll be back in no time. I’ve collected Marvel comics for 40 years. Right now, I’m barely hanging on for little more than nostalgia. Back in the day, the House of Ideas made a name for itself by producing character driven, engaging stories. And when a character died, it was shocking and no guarantee that that character would be back. Now, death and resurrection are nothing more than plot devices and huge events that shatter the status quo “forever” are practically a monthly thing.

The House of Ideas has become the House of Creative Bankruptcy.

Funny you mentioned that.

EXCLUSIVE: SUPERMAN IS "DOOMED" IN MAY CROSSOVER EVENT

It's Superman vs. Doomsday, but DC Comics is billing it as more than just a rematch. The monstrous alien is set to make an impact across multiple titles starting this May in a crossover titled "Superman: Doomed," and CBR News has the exclusive first details of the event.



There truly is nothing new under the sun.
