Death of Wolverine by Charles Soule
4.0
I had very low expectations for this book, and was kind of dreading reading it. So I give it 3.5 stars mostly for Charles Soule and the artists involved making it an above-average Wolverine book even with so much pressure.
I mean, any Death Of event involving a major hero isn't *meant* to be fun. It's meant to bring in massive sales through tragedy, like selling seats to watch the Titanic sink or the World Trade Center fall. This book surely had plenty of flaws, but not as many as most hyped-up Wolverine comics.

Ok, so the biggest let-down about this book for me was that Wolverine is finally killed by someone whose face I've never seen before, and in a way that is entirely Wolverine's own dang tactical fault. I mean, Logan angrily slashes open a vat of adamantium that's in the process of being smelted and it covers him and slowly hardens. Weren't there dozens of other smarter ways that even a berzerker could have stopped what was happening in that lab without getting dowsed in liquid metal.
