The teasing outbreak continues!

After hinting at “an end, a beginning with ResurrXion”, Marvel announced Iceman #1 yesterday and now an announcement via Twitter for Weapon X #1.

Weapon X is one of the code-names for the X-Man Wolverine and the name of the infamous military/science unit that transformed Logan into Weapon X by giving him an adamantium skull and claws.  Later incarnations of the program produced Deadpool, Maverick, X-23 (Logan’s clone now using the Wolverine code-name and headlining the Wolverine book) and more weaponized mutants.

Fans should note the teaser image shows the history of the Weapon X program and its many victims/products including Logan/Wolverine from the classic Barry Windsor-Smith story, Sauron, X-23, Deadpool and Sabretooth. During the Grant Morrison era, it was revealed Weapon X was part of an overall Weapon Plus program that created Fantomex.
