Wolverine, Deadpool, Cable and More Assemble a Deadly New Strike Force in ‹ Weapon X-Men ›
‹ Weapon X-Men, › a new series by Joe Casey and ChrisCross, arrives this February.
Meet the all-new, all-different WEAPON X-MEN! Joe Casey is back in the world of X-Men, and together with acclaimed artist, ChrisCross, the celebrated X-Men scribe will introduce the toughest squad of mutants ever assembled in WEAPON X-MEN, a new X-Title launching in February with an X-tra-sized first issue.
This lethal new team of mutant icons including WOLVERINE, DEADPOOL, and CABLE will take no prisoners as they go guns blazing into any enemy stronghold that needs to be destroyed! And with ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM impacting the entire Marvel Universe next year, their first stop is Latveria!
After Doctor Doom, Weapon X-Men’s targets will be as wild as they are, including an all-new threat that will force this group of badass heroes to lock in and unleash their deadly skills like they never have before.
WOLVERINE! DEADPOOL! CABLE! CHAMBER! THUNDERBIRD! Together on their very own X-team, for the very first X-time!
When a high-stakes mutant rescue mission from the ultimate global hot spot exposes the true enemy – possibly from within – an all-new team of all-action icons suddenly find themselves forged in fire. And the official membership policy is… no mercy allowed! Accept no substitutes – this is the one you didn’t even know you were waiting for! This is the real thing!
« When I pitched this series over a year ago, I knew it was going to be big… 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, » Casey shared.
« 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! »

Dans les vieux pots…
Chris Cross !!!
Quel frere proudstar ?
Sur ces deux pages, le style de ChrisCross est méconnaissable…
Ah, je trouve pas. La case du coup de poing me semble assez emblématique de ce qu’il fait.
Après, c’est peut-être plus sage que bien souvent, ouais…
Jim
Oui, c’est peut-être le seul moment où on capte son style, avec le visage baissé de Wolvie. On verra ce que ça donne sur les autres planches.
Le premier.
Il n a déjà plus son nouveau costume alors
Est-ce si grave que ça ?
Parfaitement
Jump ! Jump !
Les effets de reflets des couleurs de Nolan Woodard sont vraiment hideux…

Wolverine, Deadpool, Cable, Chamber, and Thunderbird team up to strike at Doom in Latveria in Weapon X-Men #1, on shelves & digital platforms on February 19, 2025, from Marvel Comics
Un fond qui est clairement un prétexte à la réunion de ces personnages, mais une forme quand même sympathique. On voit ainsi Logan qui vivote dans son hôtel favori à Paris, mais il subit une attaque brutale qui l’affaiblit. Il prend une chambre ailleurs et est visité par un Deadpool qui ne dit pas la raison de sa présence. Ils sont sollicités par Cable qui a appris l’impératif d’une mission de sauvetage en Latvérie, et recrutent de force avant un Chamber paumé. Ils découvrent en Latvérie un Thunderbird enragé, qui met un sale coup à Logan qui s’en remet mal. Deadpool, qui a glissé le nom Weapon X-Men pour le fun, en profite, l’abat et l’emmène car il est derrière la première attaque pour un contrat mystérieux… posé anonymement par le Baron Strucker !
Objectivement, ça n’a aucun sens d’aller aider Thunderbird comme ça en Latvérie, et voir Deadpool répondre à un contrat comme ça sur Logan, ça surprend. Il n’empêche que Joe Casey accompagne tout d’un vernis sympathique, avec dynamisme et quelques bonnes répliques. ChrisCross livre des planches nerveuses et elles aussi dynamiques, ça fonctionne bien.
Une intrigue sous forme de prétexte mais ça se lit.
An enemy from Wolverine’s distant past has claimed his first victims — and one of them is Wolverine himself!
And the rest of Weapon X-Men may not make it in time to save them from Strucker’s insidious plans of world conquest!
Introducing, for the first time anywhere – Wolverines of Mass Destruction!

Le #5 sera le dernier.
In his Substack newsletter, Marvel Executive Editor, SVP and X-Men Group Editor Tom Breevoort a ddressed the change specifically, saying, « sometimes a book is slated to be an ongoing but the support in the marketplace simply isn’t there to allow for that. That was the case with WEAPON X-MEN. »
