Marvel Comics will be introducing the new Strike Force in WEAPON X-MEN and the lineup is seriously awesome

Marvel Comics has announced a new series, Weapon X-Menwhich will see some of the Marvel Universe’s most formidable mutants come together to take on…Doctor Doom?! You can get a sneak peek after the jump.

Next February we will face the completely new, completely different Weapon X-Men. Amazing Spider-Man and Deadpool Writer Joe Casey returns to the world of the X-Men and along with artist ChrisCross, the acclaimed writer will present the toughest squad of mutants ever assembled.

This deadly new team of mutant icons, including Wolverine, Deadpool and Cable, will take no prisoners as they go guns blazing into any enemy stronghold in need of destruction. And with “One World Under Doom” affecting the entire Marvel Universe next year, their first stop is Latveria.

After Doctor Doom, the Weapon X-Men’s goals will be as wild as they come, including an all-new threat that will force this group of badass heroes to lock up and unleash their deadly skills like they’ve never done before.

Here’s the official description of the series from Marvel Comics which, despite the different name, gives off serious X-Force vibes.

WOLVERINE! DEAD POOL! CABLE! CHAMBER! THUNDERBIRD! Together in their very own X-Team for the very first X-era – all in an X-tra-sized first issue! When a high-stakes mutant rescue mission from the ultimate global hotspot reveals the true enemy—possibly from within—a whole new team of action icons suddenly find themselves on 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 an all-new, premium super team of high-class, 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 have dreamed of, says Casey. “If you’re a longtime fan of the expansive nature of the Marvel Universe — as I am — you won’t want to miss it.”

“Weapon X-Men will be dangerous, unpredictable and classic all at the same time.” concludes the writer.
