Wolverine: Weapon X #9 Spoilers

Spoilers: Melita Garner warns Psylocke and Nightcrawler that Wolverine is trapped in the Dunwich Sanatorium. Kurt and Betsy teleport there, where they find a giant psychic engine built with human brains. Psylocke tells Nightcrawler not to smash it, as the engine is like a giant psychic bomb, just waiting to go off. Betsy explains that the bomb could turn everyone crazy for a few moments, she then defuses it carefully with her psy-knife. Meanwhile, Wolverine goes on a rampage, killing everyone he sees in front of him. After Psylocke is done with the last brain-engine, Wolverine comes to his senses. Logan tracks down Dr. Rot and stabs him, however a nurse helps the mad doctor to run away by distracting Wolverine. Dr. Rot builds one more brain-powered engine; and as it explodes, he escapes. Psylocke and Nightcrawler come to their senses after the bomb's effects fade away, but are unable to find Logan. Wolverine goes to Melita's house, and Dr. Rot calls him, swearing he will be back.

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.

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.

X-Position: Jason Aaron

Jason Aaron on future guest stars of his title Wolverine: Weapon X..

Seeing as "Wolverine: Weapon X" is going to have a lot of Weapon X stuff going on, like Maverick’s appearance. Could you tip us off on any possible character appearances? Even a hint?

No plans for any other Weapon X characters any time soon. Maverick will continue to be a big part of the series, though, as you'll see come the end of “Weapon X” #5. In terms of other guest stars, look for Nightcrawler and Psylocke in the near future, and a little further down the road some heavy hitters like Captain America and the Thing.

This title has gotten a lot of praise for Aaron's quality of writing! This is definitely a good thing!
