After months of teasers, Marvel published the final chapter of its Death of Wolverine miniseries today, which, as the title of the book states, is expected to remove the Canadian mutant from the Marvel Comics Universe for a chunk of time.
Going back to his very first appearance in Incredible Hulk #180, Wolverine has enjoyed a special place in the Marvel pantheon as one of its most popular (and some might argue, overexposed) heroes. Between his exploits with the X-Men, and in his own solo titles, the character has been written and illustrated by some of the industry's brightest stars, including Chris Claremont, John Byrne, Frank Miller, Mark Millar, Steve McNiven and John Buscema.
To jumpstart all of the Wolverine eulogizing that will be going on throughout the Marvel U. over the next few weeks/months, we thought it would be appropriate the celebrate the very best Wolverine stories and moments since the character debuted 40 years ago.
