Death of Wolverine by Charles Soule and Steve McNiven is a gorgeous work of sequential art, especially in hardcover, which is a little larger than a trade paperback. I don't normally buy hardcover Marvel or DC except for omnibuses, but I saw this at the San Diego County Library, Bonita Branch, and had to take it home. It sat on my bed for three weeks, and it's due today, so I thought I'd read it. In this story, Wolverine has lost his healing factor. He's gonna' die now that people have found out. Just unsheathing his claws causes damage to his hands.
My favorite page was in Issue #3, when Kitty and Logan are in Japan. It's springtime, judging by the plum and cherry blossoms, but not Golden Week judging by how empty the Koishikawa Korakuen Gardens are. Charles Soule has been one of my favorites for some time. In particular, I like his versions of Superman/Wonder Woman, She-Hulk, and Strongman. Definitely, The Death of Wolverine is on that list as well. It's a short arc at four issues, but at least it's not dragged out. Recommended.
