"NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS" well, thats BS in the comic world, I have notice that there has not been very much mentioned on Wolverine at any of the cons(if i missed something let me know). With that "The End" picture surfacing and lack of upcoming projects for wolvie I'm kinda worried. Do I think they will kill him off...NO...um...well...maybe, but unlikely, but where is the love because i haven't notice any lately.
That anime video is a joke, they art and effects are great, but where is Wolverine. I Hope they replace that kid with the man we know as Wolverine, since the video is entitle Wolverine. Give me more of hte "Hulk vs." Wolverine guy i saw that was kinda sweet.

Well this could be a result of Logan Overload, it has happened before and it was bound to happen again some where down the line. I say a little Wolvie break is OK. As long as when he surfaces back up, he is STILL basically the SAME Logan we all know and love not some flippin' zombie, or blind killer, or re vamped to look like some damn manga girl boy want to be, but the same OLD Logan we all LOVE. Then I am OK with him hangin' low. after all , what happens when you eat too much sugar anyway, one gets sick and then doesn't see the "special" in the sweets when it's ALL WAYS there!. Know what I mean.

Wolverine has become ubiquious. Marvel not hyping Wolverine is like a burger joint not advertising french fries, 'cuz they both come with everything. Marvel killing-off Wolverine is as likely as every burger joint in the US suddenly taking french fries off the menu. Sure you could still get tater-tots, potato chips, or onion rings (X-23, Daken and Deadpool) but you're gonna' have a lot of upset customers who grew up expecting fries with their burger, no matter what burger they order, or where they order it. Marvel won't kill-off Wolverine because there's no benefit to them, and serious potential loss. The only strategy that makes sense to kill Wolverine is the "New Coke" strategy. Remember "New Coke?" It tasted more like Pepsi. It didn't attract Pepsi drinkers because it still wasn't Pepsi, but it made Coke drinkers demand their Coke back, and they got it, while Coca Cola got free publicity on the nightly news for weeks. So any "Death of Wolverine" will only be a brief, temporary gimmick to get publicity and hopefully boost demand for Wolverine and sales of comics and other collectibles in the end. This might drive a spike in the price of Wolverine collectible items, but it would hurt comic book sales.
And in any event, Marvel would be unlikely to try such a gimmick until after the end of Wolverine:Origins (around issue #60), And killing Wolverine then would negate the value of the strategic goal of the project for Wolverine's long-term character development: to free him from all the collective baggage of his past enemies and turn him loose on the major villains of the modern Marvel Universe full-time.

Yes even still, they have done this "kill of Wolverine" Death of Logan thing before...it's getting old too. what they need to do is stop worring about the next gimick, and get some QUALITY story telling in the mix. Right now they have more crap tales out there than good ones. The fact is, if you eat too much junk food... you WILL get sick! LOL...food for thought.
