Wolverine. Cable. Deadpool. Chamber. Thunderbird. Alone, they are formidable and some of the most dangerous Mutants on Earth-616. Together, they may be unstoppable. Certainly they may prove lethal for anyone unfortunate enough to cross their paths, as they form a new squad that won’t shy away from lethal force; Weapon X-Men.
Written by Joe Casey, with art by Chriscross, Weapon X-Men #1 opens with a focus on Logan. The man called Wolverine is not famed for subtlety, but he can play the spy or detective when required. In this case, he’s investigating the theft of some Adamantium and the death of the terrorist Khyber. However, the hunter quickly becomes the hunted, as someone sets an elaborate trap for Logan.

Weapon X-Men a high-action team-up book
The new series’ opening arc will tie into the One World Under Doom event. The squad will be forced to fight their way into Latveria and confront Doctor Doom himself. Future issues will see the team taking on targets as wild and unpredictable as they are.
“When I pitched this series over a year ago, I knew it was going to be big,” Casey shared. “But writing a brand-new, premier super-team of top-tier, marquee mutants as they take on some of the most iconic villains in the modern Marvel Universe has turned out to be even more fun than I could’ve dreamed of. If you’re a longtime fan of the expansive nature of the Marvel Universe, like I am, you don’t want to miss out. Weapon X-Men is going to be dangerous, unpredictable and classic all at the same time!”
Weapon X-Men #1 arrives in comic shops everywhere on February 19, 2025.
