Marvel’s Weapon X-Men Assembles Team of Multiverse Wolverines

Wolverines… assemble! Before Hugh Jackman’s adamantium-clawed mutant slices into the MCU multiverse in Deadpool 3, Marvel Comics is SNIKT-ing into the Wolver-Verse. Weapon X-Men, written by Christos Gage (Avengers Academy) and drawn by Yildiray Cinar (X-Men Red), spins out of this week’s The Original X-Men #1 by Gage and artist Greg Land. (That one-shot sees the Jean Grey Phoenix from an alternate reality recruit the time-displaced younger mutants — Marvel Girl, Cyclops, Beast, Angel, and Iceman — on a mission to stop a threat to the multiverse: Dark Phoenix and her team of world-conquering X-Men.)

And then, in March 2024, Weapon X-Men assembles a team of Wolverines from the multiverse to face a threat so great that the Phoenix alone cannot stop it. They are:

• Old Man Logan, the Wolverine of the Wastelands who comes from a future where Earth’s mightiest heroes have been slaughtered
• Age of Apocalypse Wolverine, the one-handed Weapon X of Earth-295
• Zombie Wolverine, the best there is at eating brains
• Earth X Wolverine, the wild Wolverine of Earth-9997
• Jane Howlett, a new female Wolverine from Earth-1281

“Getting a chance to continue to explore the Marvel Multiverse in thepages of Weapon X-Men with the amazing Yildiray Çinar is the perfectChristmas gift!” Gage said in a statement announcing the four-issue series. “A team of nothing but Wolverines…one ofwhom, Jane Howlett, has never been seen before? Against a threat fromthe pages of Original X-Men? With Yildiray Çinar, whose character actingis as brilliant as his action scenes and who has a George Perez-levelof skill with crowds? Moving from one alternate Earth to another? Signme up! We are packing a TON of action, story, character moments, pathos,and sometimes literally earth-shattering moments into these fourissues, so don’t miss it!”
