"Death of" comic characters doesn't mean anything anymore. As it's mostly only temporary and everyone knows going in that the character will be back. It's just a way to sell more comic books. I usually go to my LCS every week, and I'm not interested in the death of Wolverine a little bit.
I will say though, that Superman 75, the Death of Superman did have a big impact. Prolly cause it was one of the first times done and to arguably the biggest icon in comics.
