Death of Wolverine | Comics

The man known as Wolverine isn't quite living up to the reputation he has made over years because he now lacks his incredible healing factor and can die. Logan goes to see Mr. Fantastic to know in details about his current condition. As Reed Richards laid it out for him, he cannot heal from any injuries he takes in this state, probably his bones are radioactive now and he should not use his claws anymore. Upon discussing with Hank McCoy and Tony Stark, he can find a solution but he needs some time to figure it out while Wolverine have to stay out of action for a while.

Logan knows that is not possible because, somehow news are going to spread about his vulnerability and he has a huge list of enemies who would come after him. He enters Eric's pub for a drink and left a map for anyone who comes looking for him. Former super-soldier turned mercenary Nuke showed up looking for him and thus he brought them all over to Logan's very own territory of British Columbia, Canada. Before they can even confront, Wolverine took out all his men for him to show up alone in the shore to see countless dead bodies of A.I.M. agents, unknown Ninja assassins and rogue mercenaries lying there.

Initially taking a few beating, Logan got the drop on him and then tortured to submission by repeatedly bashing Nuke's face with his Adamantium skull. He reveals that the bounty is only good if Logan is alive and the person who put a contract on him is none other than Viper. As he spared life of Frank Simpson, Wolverine goes to Madripoor to see her and even manages a meeting. There he found out that Sabretooth has become a pet dog to her and is weakened because of her poisoning.

Viper informs Logan that she did not put out a contract for him. In fact, she sub-contracted it for someone else to do it for her. She offers to tell him who the real contractor is if he can beat Sabretooth in fight but since he is not in his prime, Logan lost an eye and is viciously wounded. It was the timely intervention of Lady Deathstrike that saved him but he requests her to spare Victor Creed as he is drugged. Viper flew and Deathstrike tell him that all individuals with Adamantium implants are being attacked by Lord Ogun.

When talking, Yuriko notices that Logan isn't healing, so she decides to exchange his life for hers but as she was about to proceed, Kitty Pryde arrives to save the day. Kitty phased through her body, warning her about hurting Logan. After sending Yuriko away, she saves her fainted friend with Regen Serum. Since they both have past histories with Ogun, they travelled to Japan to find him. Ogun's spirit possessed Kitty Pryde by then but he ultimately retreats from two of them, leaving the name "Abraham Cornelius" within her mind.

Done Living Forever

A heartbroken Storm took the leadership of X-Men while his adopted daughter/clone Laura Kinney AKA X-23 forms a team called "Wolverines" with Daken, Lady Deathstrike, Mystique and Sabretooth to honor his memory. Despite a very bold move like killing one of their prominent characters, Marvel sure would find a replacement for him or make someone else take his mantle as he is gone now. Although not exactly in a same manner, "Death of Wolverine" was a source of inspiration for 2017's superhero film Logan with actor Hugh Jackman starring in titular role and have a different ending from the story.

Inhuman – AXIS | Comics

Though most of the world thought that Black Bolt; king of The Inhumans has died fighting The Mad Titan; Thanos, he and his insane brother Maximus the Mad were actually busy taking care of some secret business with New Avengers (Time Runs Out). Maximus taunts his brother by keeping him locked up in a hotel room in New York from where they can see New Attilan on Hudson River. He brings two ladies he picked up from bar to introduce with his brother, King Black Bolt but when they saw him, they ran off scared.

Losing their home after Thanos's invasion on Earth, Medusa is now the ruler of remaining Inhumans on New Attilan. A former police officer turned Nuhuman, Nur and an old member of Attilan security force, Auran is summoned and tasked by Queen Medusa to locate her husband after she took a short interview of their new security recruit. The duo eventually discovers the Boltagon brothers in a nightclub and tries to bring them in but Maximus soon turned the table by making Black Bolt unleashing his powerful voice on them.

Knowing what Black Bolt is capable of, Auran quickly pushed Nur away seconds before being vaporized by quasi-sonic energy. Losing his partner defending his life, Nur returns to Attilan and angrily delivers Gorgon and Medusa news of their encounter with her husband as well as his maniacal brother Maximus at Tribeca, New York. Gorgon, Inferno and Nur prepare to go looking for them again with help from Eldrac the Door. Though Gorgon was seemingly unsuccessful convincing Eldrac but Nur eventually made him listen to them.

Reaching Himalayas, they found Maximus and Black Bolt but only to tremble before the latter's earth shattering voice as they tried to apprehend. All three of them were struggling with their lives when Maximus was making his brother scream again and again. However, the encounter doesn't end well for Maximus but worked out fine for Black Bolt in the end anyway. Inferno and Nur argues whether to take him back or not but Gorgon reminds them that Black Bolt is a King and they cannot take him back if he didn't wish to return.

Meanwhile, Inhuman Reader and his powerful new recruit from China, Xiaoyi struggle to get back home from clutches of Ennilux Corporation. New Attilan sees an all-new Medusa on the funeral of Inhuman Royal Family medical regent, as a result of "Inversion Spell". She went to the general assembly of the United Nations infuriated and made a scene, which led her to a brief clash with Spider-Man.

Plus, the secret adventures of Boltagon brothers with Illuminati to save Earth from incursions before "Time Runs Out" were hinted. Another trouble forms when Inhuman freelancer Reader took a job from Ennilux corporation about delivering a very powerful Nuhuman named Xiaoyi but ended up saving her from the corporation and their sinister leader Capo. Though this plotline has not directly influenced any major occurrences of "AXIS", it sure helped pave a new direction for Inhomo Supremis. Inhumans were just about to start their journey in human world and then suddenly the moral axis of their Queen Medusa being changed affected many things, leading to the next story-arc "Lineage".

Inhuman – Genesis | Comics

A short while ago, when The Mad Titan came to Earth looking for his son and threatened the survival of entire Inhuman race, King Black Bolt detonated a Terrigen Bomb out of desperation that spread a cloud of Terrigen Mists on Earth's atmosphere. Coming in contact of this mutagenic substance, anyone with a potential Inhuman genome in them has been turned into one. While the cloud was placing people into cocoons worldwide, a mysterious individual named Lash took it upon himself to collect those specimens.

He would patiently wait for it to hatch and then decide whether or not the transformation is a success. Otherwise, he would simply incinerate the subject and go looking for a new one. Struggling musician Dante Pertuz from Des Plaines, Illinois, were going out for a weeding gig to support his sick mother and pregnant sister Gabriela when suddenly Mrs. Pertuz was heard screaming. He and Gabriela quickly rushed to her room to find her covered in a cocoon and at the same time he too undergoes Terrigenesis.

Inhuman – Genesis | Comics

Queen Medusa of Inhuman Royal Family quickly took charge of her people and her aide Elejea informs her that one of their own was found on Battery Park. Despite objections from S.H.I.E.L.D. agents at the scene she approaches and seeks help through Eldrac the Door in locating her now-missing husband and Inhuman King Blackagar Boltagon. Meanwhile, Lash approaches Dante Pertuz to join his cause with his exceptional gift of power but he retaliated on the former as he was about to obliterate Mrs. Pertuz still in her cocoon.

Dante eventually took Medusa's side upon her timely arrival, which saved his sister and her unborn child. Lash is forced to retreat and Medusa was able to calm down Dante by smothering his flames with her hair. The remains of Attilan are now mostly in ruins residing on Hudson River and Dante is now training with Gorgon to learn better control over his powers. Then Captain America shows up at their doorstep with S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to check on her and Medusa soon finds herself allied with Steve Rogers in taking down A.I.M. agents to retrieve part of New Attilan's remains.

A mysterious Inhuman calling himself Lineage offers his aid to Medusa, claiming he posses the whereabouts of Black Bolt but not revealing his true intentions to anyone just yet. Queen Medusa led an all-out assault on Lash and his recruits on Orollan with Inhuman Royal Family at her side. Later, Thor visits New Attilan and there was a small occurrence during his presence. An Inhuman named Reader goes to China to recruit a powerful Nuhuman named Xiaoyi to their fold. One of the worst enemies of Inhuman history; The Unspoken has finally returned with a tribute.
