Psylocke in Wolverine: Weapon X

"Wolverine: Weapon X" writer, Jason Aaron, confirmed Psylocke's appearance in the book during the next arc (drawn by Yanick Paquette), which begins with issue #6, on sale in October! Check it out:

Jason Aaron: "WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #5 is out today, which wraps up the first arc with explosions and sharks, and of course more laser claws and stabbity stab stab. There are big plans afoot for the ole Canucklehead, and this arc was just the beginning, laying the groundwork for what I hope will be the next few years worth of Wolverine stories. My first job in comics came in the pages of WOLVERINE, so me and the hairy little bastard go way back. I've written him several times over the last few years, from "Get Mystique" and "The Man In The Pit" to a kung fu mini-series and a barroom team-up with Spider-Man. And I've still got plenty of stories left to tell. In the book's second arc, kicking off in issue #6, look for guest appearances by Nightcrawler and Psylocke, as well as the introduction of crazy new villains like Dr. Rot, Nurse Fester, The Biter, Charlie Chainsaws and an oddball pair named Helter and Skelter. After that, make way for Captain America and the return of a certain killer cyborg from the future. And don't forget The Thing. I'm dying to do the story with Wolvie and The Thing. And beyond that... well, then things are gonna get REALLY crazy. You've been warned."

“Insane In The Brain” Part 1 (of 4) Welcome to Dunwich Sanatorium, where the only people weirder than the patients are the doctors in charge. The newest resident is a man known only as Patient X, a poor confused soul who doesn't remember who he is or how he came to be here. He only has vague memories of living with wolverines and traveling to the moon and killing lots and lots of people. Lucky for him, he came to the right place. The good Dr. Rot knows everything there is to know about the human brain. Including how to remove it... This issue begins an all-new arc unlike any Wolverine story you've ever read.

The weirdest Wolverine story in recent memory continues, as Logan learns more about his current residence, the Dunwich Sanitorium, and the bizarre man in charge, Dr. Algernon J. Rottwell. The good Dr. Rot seems to enjoy removing people's brains and... doing things with them. And now he has his eyes on Wolverine's noggin. If only Logan could remember how he got here. Or who he is. Or how these claws of his work...

Betsy gets to be written by Jason Aaron?I have got a bad feeling about this...

Why is that Selene? I think Weapon X is the best Wolverine book out there. Really good writing. You don't like it?

Selene said...

Really?Now,that's a relief.The only Wolverine story written by Aaron I've ever read is "Get Mystique" and I thought it was a total let-down.

All right,I re-consider,then. :-)

I don't see this as a bad thing at all... I think it is another opportunity to increase Betsy's audience.

centurion said...

@Selene - Yes, Wolverine: Weapon X is a strong book.

I wonder if she will be in the full story or just a cameo issue...

FSaker said...

Aaron says Psylocke and Nightcrawler will have "guest appearances", so I think they won't be in the full story.

But hey, it's still a good thing! As long as she's not one of the people whose brains Dr. Rot removes, of course...

centurion said...

@FSaker - Good one! Or Psylocke could appear on the cover for Marvel Zombies #1 but not even appear in the book itself :)

This is completely unrelated but I actually cant believe that Domino put her gun to one of the cuckoo's heads and even worse Wolverine didnt slice her arm off. Seriously something is completely wrong with the X-men if pulling this kind of crap on the students is acceptable.

centurion said...

Did this happen in the latest issue of X-Force? The X-Men on X-Force often act like merciless vagabonds :(

Selene said...

Luckystar,it appears that Betsy(and Rogue!)will appear in Deadpool #16.
