This fall will mark the 40th anniversary of Wolverine’s first appearance in The Incredible Hulk #180, but instead of celebrating the occasion Marvel has decided to forgo cake and candles for a four-part series that will kill off the X-Men’s breakout star. This summer Marvel will be launching the 3 Months To Die series, one that will see Wolverine robbed of his regenerative healing factor, the mutant power that has kept him from suffering any long-term damage throughout his career. On the heels of 3 Months To Die will be the four-part series Death Of Wolverine—which will be helmed by relative Marvel newcomer Charles Soule—with each of the four issues taking a different focus on the life of the iconic character. The series’ fourth final issue will come on September 24 and feature the death the arc had been building toward.
