In "War of the Programs Part 1: In the Beginning...", Frank Tieri and Tom Mandrake trace the dark origins of the Weapon X and Weapon Plus programs, revealing their tangled roles in shaping Wolverine, Fantomex, and Maverick. As each of the three heroes uncovers the same cryptic clue—“Roanoke”—the past begins to unravel in ways that will reshape their understanding of who they are. Andy Park’s striking cover captures the mystery, while the interior art by Mandrake and colorist Brad Anderson brings the shadowed history to life.
