And while many may complain that it is only apparent that Marvel will revive Wolverine in due time, we will still have these four (almost perfect) issues as a strong testament to what this character stands for, what he means, and how he has influenced the comics medium as a whole. Rest in peace, James, Logan, Weapon X, Patch, Fang, and most importantly, Wolverine. It is so very well deserved. Read Full Review

There are few major comics characters whose death I have seen played out in comics, and I think that aside from Superman's first death last year when I read the original Doomsday arc, no death has affected me like this. There's something very visceral, violent and heroic about Logan's death. Read Full Review

Solid work by the creative team (and apologies for my cynical tone here - I'm just really jaded over the death of the hero bit. Perhaps I'm the only one). Read Full Review

Wolverine has touched lives, for better or for worse, but he will never be forgotten, and most will have mostly fond memories of him and even though this is the death for Wolverine, his spirit remains with his friends, his student, and even his enemies. He's clearly made an impact on the world and he will be missed. Read Full Review

This is an engrossing but too brief conclusion to Soule's story, and a poetic, lonely farewell to Logan. Read Full Review

Overall, the Death of Wolverine mini-series did its job. It told a complete story, paid homage to the character and then delivered Wolverine's death as promised. This will probably be one of those things that fans will debate forever. These kinds of events are usually the most polarizing but as long as people talk about them and remember them, then job well done. Read Full Review

This was a great end to a strong mini series, and while it was a long time coming and may only be temporary, the story was worth telling and will hopefully set off a few more compelling arcs in the aftermath of Logan's death. My only complaint is the price point of $4.99 for 24 pages of story, the same cover price for all 4 issues. That is fairly steep, and while it has a nice quality shiny cover and contains a free digital copy, there should be an element of choice in that, perhaps knocking a dollar off the price for a standard cover. Nevertheless, this is still a series very much worth reading. There were copies of all four issues available at my LCS so you can still get the whole story physically, or pick it up digitally (where I actually believe it is a bit cheaper!). Read Full Review

It feels like it's been a long time coming but DEATH OF WOLVERINE has come to an end. There's many ways this could have happened and Charles Soule gives us an interesting ending. Because of the history of the character, there's a lot to think about over what this issue means and whether or not it hits the mark that fans may have wanted. I am intrigued with the route Soule took and it should be interesting to see what the aftermath of this is for everyone close to Logan. McNiven's art is great, as usual. It's almost a little difficult to see Wolverine in this state but that's why we paid the price of the admission. Wolverine is dead. It didn't happen quite as we expected. Now we get to see what happens next. Read Full Review

This brisk issue doesn't go away without a wacky ending; but, thankfully, Inhuman scribe Charles Soule gives readers enough tense moments and enough sensical logic for the final page. Read Full Review

All in all, I felt that the closure to Wolverine's life fell a little flat. I understand that they had him die in such a way that didn't have us up against the wall in annoyance about which villain did it. His death was heroic and in a sense tragic, though it didn't feel to be in the emotional context that the first three issues seemed to be promising. At the very least, at least Logan got some vengence when he was going out. We'll miss you, bub. Read Full Review

This event managed to capture the best of Wolverine's character and packaged it neatly in a four-issue miniseries. While the story may lack a strong climax, it makes up for it with a graceful ending and a final page that, like melting adamantium, will stick with fans for years to come, even after Logan's death is retconned. Read Full Review

Wolverine's death certainly feels like it has been drawn out for a massively long time, but this issue brings closure. Soule, McNiven and company ensure that "Death of Wolverine" #4 buttons up some loose ends, shows Wolverine at his best and makes readers want just one more adventure. Yes, there are plenty of Wolverine-tinged tales coming up as Soule spearheads "The Logan Legacy" and the recently announced weekly "Wolverines," but at least Logan is given a chance to go out like a legend.

Death of Wolverine has been one hell of a ride, as though there's bound to be moments that'll upset some fans (with the ending inevitably going to do this), this was always going to be the case. As for the death of a character, this one may not be the most epic of deaths, but the symbolism definitely makes it emotional. Recommended. Read Full Review

Unfortunately, the final chapter of Death of Wolverine doesn't quite reach the highs of the previous issues. While the slightly odd choice of final villain can be overlooked, it's harder to ignore the awkward build-up to Logan's death. McNiven's art is great, and he and Soule hit a lot of emotionally resonant beats here, but a deeper glimpse into Logan's mindset could have given this issue the extra punch it needed. Read Full Review

There's going to be plenty of talk after this issue hits about what it all means, symbolically and for the character, but for this critic I couldn't find enough meaning on the page. That said, it's still a good comic, but it misses the mark. Read Full Review

Wolverine is dead. He deserved a better send off. I'm not suggesting the story needed to be dragged on for twelve issues but the with four issues, Soule could have easily presented a tight character arc that brought out Wolverine's final lap through his struggle to become a man above an animal. Perhaps an arc to finish the idea that everyone he has loved ends up dying. There were plenty of ways to put a nice cap on one of the long running themes from Wolverine's complicated past. Instead, Soule provides a mediocre story that doesn't seem to build any danger or allow the reader to believe that Wolverine is in any kind of internal struggle. Without McNiven this book would be totally avoidable. Read Full Review

It is a bit silly at moments, but in the pantheon of comic book deaths, Charles Soule and Steve McNiven have created a fitting end* for Wolverine by subverting expectations and crafting a much more personal story. And the rebar claws were pretty cool. Read Full Review

The issues that came before had some fantastic commentary from writer and artist dissecting the issue, this one misses that, and if ever there needed to be some thought process it's this. I'm not a fan of how Wolverine has "died," but I'd love to know the thought process of how he went. I don't know what I'd of done different in all honesty, but in the end the Death of Wolverine was a bit anticlimactic. Read Full Review

While the details might be lacking, there are enough of them to get the point across. If the goal of this issue was to have Wolverine die with a sense that he accomplished enough to die honorably, it succeeded. But if the goal was to do so in a way that felt epic and worthy of his character, then it came up short. Death of Wolverine #4 doesn't have enough details to feel like the truly definitive end for Wolverine. It's impossible to make a life like Wolverine feel truly complete. His character and his history is so big and so profound that it just cannot be done. But in an era where characters like Bucky Barnes can come back to life, maybe that's the point. It doesn't have to be big or detailed. Like a good Apple product, it just has to work. Read Full Review

Why not do something better? Why not a death that mattered as much as his life? Read Full Review

Ding dong, Wolvie is dead, at least for now. For a character who has been as beloved in the Marvel universe as Mr. Angrypants has, I can't believe they let him go in such a disappointing and lazy fashion. Then again, I suppose it's a disappointing end for a disappointing character. Oddly fitting. Read Full Review

The Death of Wolverine is one of the better event series to be released in the past few years. It may not succeed in its intended purpose, but it is enjoyable and (relatively) succinct. Its a cut above most event series, managing to be entertaining without ever becoming aggravating. Read Full Review

And I think that's the real problem that Death of Wolverine faced all along - it didn't know what kind of story it wanted to be. Wolverine himself, for all his lost memories and wildly clashing histories, had one throughline in common - he was an animal trying to overcome his baser instincts and become a better man. This storyline, however, bounced from Wolverine accepting his fate, to welcoming death as a respite, to trying to keep others from sharing his own cursed existence. Any of those three themes would have made for a powerful sendoff, but the lack of commitment to any of them harmed the final product far more than a lack of a central villain ever did. Here's hoping that while this sendoff lacked Wolverine's trademark intensity, it'll give Marvel a chance to rest one of their most iconic heroes before he makes his inevitable return.

Logan reaches his final destination and looks in horror how the new project X is going on before making his final stand against Dr. Cornelius and his henchman

This wasn't the way I expected it to end but it sure was a fitting one and I liked how in just a few panels Logan is able to answer his enemy's question about whether he has done anything with his life

This must be one of the few occasions in which I would've loved that Marvel extended the story a few issues as having it conclude in just 4 makes it feel rushed

I didn't expect it to go that way. Not one bit. All in all it was a slightly rushed, but frankly satisfying ending (for now, I guess) to the legendary Logan. I was actually really impressed by McNiven's pencils and colors here, as they surely added a lot to the narrative in the whole mini, while Soule's writing was very heartfelt in the end, while hurried in other occasions. Overall, I can say I'm satisfied by this book, waiting to see how this HUGE death will involve the rest of the Marvel Universe.

See you, bub.

It feels a bit... I don't know. Forced? I would like it to be more personal for Logan, but it introduces some new random villain and Logan didn't even made a mess out of Cornelius... But at least he saved those people and the way he died... It's cool. Poetic and visually great. I don't understand what's wrong with this, it's better, than if he killed himself or was gutted by some of his enemies.

It's good, and the idea for the death itself is creative, but this issue, and most of the series, comes off rushed because each entry in this four part series was relatively separate from the other even though it was all related. It became transparent as a means to involve Wolverine's roster of villains. I would have preferred a more focused approach. I don't envy Charles Soule from taking on the death of Wolverine script. Steve McNiven was a logical choice and did a great job.

Great art, but the climax is so quick and deflated, nothing to transfer the pain of death, and that's appropriate for MARVEL, cause they are the masters of regurgitating characters. At least the villain is associated with an old, and logical wolverine story
