Marvel is weeks away from delivering a major overhaul of the X-Men comics. The ResurrXion relaunch promises to overhaul the X-Men lineup and kick-start a new wave of nostalgia-driven books like X-Men Gold, X-Men Blue and Generation X. And based on the "ResurrXion" title, it's probably safe to expect the return of at least one major, long-dead X-Man. I'm just hoping that dead X-Man isn't Wolverine. He may be the most popular of Marvel's many mutant heroes, but Wolverine serves more use dead than alive right now.
I don't say that lightly, as I count Wolverine among my favorite comic book characters of all time. But there's only so much Wolverine a person can take before they reach their breaking point. And Marvel was really pushing it by the time they finally killed off the character in 2014's Death of Wolverine. Wolverine was constantly at the forefront of the X-Men franchise thanks to his role as headmaster of the Jean Grey School and the fact that he always had several solo comics to his name. This is despite the fact that so many classic X-Men runs, from Chris Claremont and John Byrne's Uncanny X-Men to Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men, show that Wolverine is a character best used sparingly rather than as the focal point of the franchise.
