Weapon X #[nn]
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection reprints the 1993 Marvel Comics miniseries 'Weapon X,' which delves into the dark origins of Wolverine's adamantium skeleton and the brutal experimentation he endured at the hands of the Weapon X program. Written and illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith, the story is a standalone, visceral exploration of Logan's transformation into a living weapon, set before his time with the X-Men. It's a seminal Wolverine tale that reshaped the character's backstory and remains a key piece of X-Men lore.
"Weapon X Prologue" delivers a stark, haunting origin moment for Logan, written and illustrated entirely by Barry Windsor-Smith in a visually striking, all-artist effort. After his brutal transformation, Logan awakens to a fabricated memory of killing his captors—Professor, Cornelius, and Hines—only to outwit them and vanish into the Canadian wilderness. The cover, also by Windsor-Smith, captures the grim intensity of the moment, making this a definitive early chapter in Wolverine’s story.
