Wolverine: The Death of Wolverine

In 2008, Marvel published a single-issue prestige story by writer Marc Guggenheim and artist Howard Chaykin that imagines a possible future for the iconic mutant. This self-contained tale explores a grim, alternate timeline where Wolverine's healing factor has finally failed him, forcing him to confront his own mortality as an old man. It stands as a distinctive, standalone meditation on the character's legacy, separate from the later, more famous "Death of Wolverine" event.
