Throughout X-Men history, there have been certain missions which require a specific set of claws, and next March comes a threat that will take an entire squad of them in the pages of Weapon X-Men.
Written by Christos Gage and illustrated by Yildiray Çinar, this four-issue epic will star a whole host of Wolverines from fan-favourite Marvel realities like "Age of Apocalypse," "Earth X," and "Marvel Zombies," plus an all-new Wolverine hero named Jane Howlett. Yes, a female Wolverine!
The action-packed saga will spin directly out of Gage and Greg Land's Original X-Men #1 which hits stands this Wednesday. In the special anniversary one-shot, readers will witness the Phoenix recruit Professor X's original five students to fix yet another time-displaced disaster. But now the threat is deadlier than ever, and it's time to call in the X-Men's big gun.
Afterwards, A MULTIVERSE OF LOGANS BANDS TOGETHER! He’s the best there is at what he does, in every universe he does it in...and this job is too big for just one of him. Wolverines from across the Multiverse converge to take on a foe even the Phoenix fears! But with friends like Old Man Logan, Age of Apocalypse Wolverine, Zombie Wolverine, Earth X Wolverine, and newcomer Jane Howlett of Earth-1281, who needs enemies?
"Getting a chance to continue to explore the Marvel Multiverse in the pages of Weapon X-Men with the amazing Yildiray Çinar is the perfect Christmas gift!" Gage said today. "A team of nothing but Wolverines.....one of whom, Jane Howlett, has never been seen before? Against a threat from the pages of Original X-Men?"
"With Yildiray Çinar, whose character acting is as brilliant as his action scenes and who has a George Perez-level of skill with crowds? Moving from one alternate Earth to another? Sign me up!" the writer exclaims. "We are packing a ton of action, story, character moments, pathos, and sometimes literally earth-shattering moments into these four issues, so don't miss it!"
We're sure this comic being released in time for Deadpool 3 is no mere coincidence and the expectation among fans is that the Marvel Studios threequel will feature several Wolverine and Deadpool Variants.
You can get a glimpse at the team for the first time in Dike Ruan's cover below and find out exactly what they'll be up against by checking out Original X-Men #1 on Wednesday!
