Death is never the end in comics and so any series sold of the death of a character is usually something I avoid.
But this is so well made and such a good character piece that I found myself totally absorbed.
I'm sure he'll be back but it was good death, one earned.

Never really was too big on Wolverine, but I did enjoy the starts of the solo title from Paul Cornell. Anyway, this is a different beast itself. There's plenty to pack into four issues and it's nicely done by Soule, but it just doesn't have quite the intended impact. However, it is a poetic ending for Logan.

The art was fantastic but the majority of this book was a let down. From the dialogue to the big reveal. There were several moments where I was disappointed. Still the book had some good moments and again the art really kept this book together. Overall it should be read by wolverine fans but I recommend renting/borrowing this from someone rather then buying it.

Engaging, though a bit anticlimactic. Could've been worse.

A little cluttered, a little nonsensical, but then you're hit with that montage of ALL Logan has done for the world and one can get choked up.

++opening panels really drop you in the mood, excellent atmosphere.
+Use of limited dialogue hyper focuses some of the scenes, I like Soule's decision with those few panels in issue 1
+I like the details of Reed/Logan's conversation
-ugh Nuke again ha
-issue 1 end of the major Villian... Not my first choice
+Man bun wolverine
++Sweet ninja fight scene, simple but awesome
+Interesting turns with Viper/Creed and a few others that turn up
+++Issue 3 has some absolutely beautiful set pieces.
++McNiven's art all around is fantastic and same with the color palette choices by Ponsor
-issue 4 is a let down, minus the last page or so. It just didn't seem like a fitting end to an amazing few issues beforehand. Plus the villian was a throwaway when they could have used a true foe from his past.
+++Enough

Wolverine is a significant figure in the Marvel universe that things turned out differently upon his death. Sure, the show goes on, but it will never be the same.

likes: Kitty Pryde, the artwork, the "director's commentary" in the backmatter
dislikes: uhhh, the plot? idk I was kind of expecting more from ~the death of Wolverine~. Whatever, I'm sure he'll be back before long and somebody else can kill him better.

Wolverine is dead.
It's a beautiful book, and there were some very good lines, but - and it pains me to say it -- DC handled the Death of Batman oh so much better in Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader, https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/642971288. But maybe that's just because Wolverine is not that reflective of a character. Kitty Pryde (who I have to love because she helped to inspire Buffy the Vampire Slayer) says to him at one point "You always come to Madripoor when you get all reflective," which, DESPITE resting on the head of a dragon, is not chock full of wisdom.
He does head into the desert at the end, but that sure ain't to find wisdom.
Wolverine is dead.
(and wtf, he was married to Viper and had a son that ran Madripoor? Good grief, I've missed a lot of his story).

Enjoyed this way more than I figured. Art was great, story was good even considering the fact that they're killing Wolverine off again. Worth the money, I'd say.
