Wolverine (X-men comic character) set to DIE (and stay DEAD) in new series

Perhaps Hugh Jackman got tired of playing Logan in suggested future movies the same way Christian Bale didn't wanna play Batman anymore (or wasn't offered enough)...

X-Man Wolverine set to die – and stay dead
Marvel launches new comic, Death of Wolverine, depicting the final days of the superhero team's most famous member

His skeleton may be coated with an indestructible substance and claws may shoot from his hands, but Wolverine, most famous of Marvel's X-Men, is preparing to meet his maker.

A new four-part comic series, whose title, Death of Wolverine, leaves little room for manoeuvre, has been published. The mutant character, who first appeared on the page in 1974, isn't dead by the end of the first issue, but he has lost the healing ability which has helped to keep him alive for more than a century. And the Grim Reaper doesn't seem far away – a lifeless Wolverine is depicted being borne away in a Christ-like pose by a skeleton Death on the cover of the final comic in the series.

Responding to scepticism about how long the death will last – the demise of characters in comics is generally less than permanent – writer Charles Soule told USA Today that this time, the death of Wolverine would be "an event that's designed to stick". The mutant, he said, would definitely perish, but "it's really the manner of his death that matters".

Movies very rarely affect what happens in comic book land and actors even less so.  As stated, Comic book characters rarely stay dead.  Superman, Batman, Captain america etc etc have all been through this.

The X-Men/Wolverine movie rights do not belong to Marvel Studios so both are technically unrelated as far as cannon or plot is concerned.

Old news, this was announced end of spring/early summer.  Issue #1 is already on it's way to my house, and will be awaiting my return.
