Is Marvel Going To Kill Old Man Logan Now That Wolverine Has Returned?

Thanks to Marvel Legacy #1, we know the original Wolverine has come back to life, with details on his resurrection coming via the Infinity Countdown event and the upcomingHunt for Wolverine story. While it's great to have the original Wolverine back in action, it has made fans wonder if Old Man Logan will continue being a part of the current state of Marvel comics.

As if that wasn't enough to get fans worried, the May 2018 solicitations of Marvel Comics have teased that something bad could happen to the character.

Old Man Logan #39 states that Logan "isn't healing the way he used to," with some of his more recent fights leaving their mark on the character permanently. Could this lead to the death of Old Man Logan now that the regular version of Wolverine has returned?

Fans have had a mixed reaction to this since they've grown attached to Old Man Logan. While this isn't the same version from Mark Millar's comic - he knows Laura Kinney and Gabby aka Honey Badger from his past - the hero has been a part of some memorable stories.

Is there room for only one version of Logan? With younger versions of Iceman, Cyclops, and Jean Grey roaming around the Marvel universe, that answer could be a yes.

Here is the full solicitation for Old Man Logan #39 and #40 (via Newsarama):
