''Death of Wolverine'' is a 2014 comics event centering around [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin the death of Wolverine]]. It chronicles [[Characters/WolverineJamesLoganHowlett Wolverine]]'s final battle after he lost his HealingFactor during the "Killable" arc of his solo series, and the impact its aftermath had on many of his friends and enemies.

* MistakenForProstitute: An interesting subversion during ''The Logan Legacy'': While trying to wind down at a goth club following Wolverine's death, X-23 is approached and propositioned by a man at the club.

She explains the situation and otherwise lets the hapless John down gently (as well as saving his life when the club is attacked by a pack of nihilistic idiots with too much time on their hands).
