After Death of Wolverine Charles Soule brings fans Death of Wolverine: The Weapon X Program.
In the wake of Logan’s demise Soule will explore more secrets of the covert military operation that turned the X-Man from mutant to weapon.
“Barry Windsor-Smith’s “Weapon X” book was one of the primary influences for this project and I think Weapon X as a concept is fascinating. One of the two follow-up series that is being done directly spinning out of “Death of Wolverine” is called “The Weapon X Program.” Continue reading CHARLES SOULE On WEAPON X PROGRAM
Ultron gave artificial intelligence a bad name! The villain’s creator is leading a new team of robots and cyborgs in Avengers A.I. #1 out tomorrow.
In the aftermath of Age of Ultron, Hank Pym is on the road to redemption and leading a team of Marvel’s mightiest artificial intelligences. Writer Sam Humphries explains Pym’s new role and the team’s mission with Marvel.com.
“As for the new team, it’s just a blast of excitement and nerves for Hank. Remember, Hank was there on day one of the Avengers, and he was a member of West Coast Avengers as well. I think the opportunity to assemble—sorry—a new team is like another chance to get it right, another chance to be a force for good in the world. It’s like that Continue reading A New Kind of AVENGERS
One of the X-Men’s most colorful enemies is coming back with a vengeance!
Marvel invites you to Avengers Arena #1 by Dennis Hopeless and Kev Walker this week. Sixteen young heroes are trapped in a game devised by the only and only Arcade! Marvel’s best and brightest young heroes will be in the fight of their lives on Murder World island.
The X-Men have escaped Arcade’s deadly traps before but some of these kids may not be so lucky.
“Arcade has spent a lot of years building “Murder Worlds” that yield very few actual murders. He’s decided it’s time to get back a little self-respect. It’s time for a new kind of Murder World. AVENGERS ARENA is about the unlucky kids he’s chosen to help him try it out,” says Hopeless.
“I don’t want to give too much away, but I can promise a lot of murder in this new Murder World.”
Editor Bill Rosemann reveals the contestants: “Fans of AVENGERS ACADEMY will hopefully be excited by the next chapter in the lives of Hazmat, Mettle, Reptil, Juston and his Sentinel and X-23. Speaking of schools, who are the Braddock Academy? After his last appearances in War of Kings and NOVA, Darkhawk soars again! Staying with sci-fi, just wait until you see what Dennis and Kev have planned for Annihilation’s Cammi, baddest girl in all the galaxy. And last but certainly not least, direct from the pages of the dearly missed RUNAWAYS, we have Chase and Nico!”
“It’s sort of ridiculous how huge our cast is at the start. But if you’re going to kill a lot of characters you gotta have a lot of characters,” Hopeless adds.
I love all the kid characters but you had me with ARCADE! Avengers Arena #1 lets the games being this week.
