Clearly, superheroes are out of luck: every time they manage to save the universe, even greater threats loom. On the side of Marvel, it is Wolverine and all the mutants who risk paying the price very soon.
The return of Wolverine and the X-Force
If Wolverine has not been seen on the big screen for a while and his return does not seem to be in the near future, the adventures of the superhero known as the leader of the X-Men are not over. From today is indeed available the first issue of a new series of comics, X-Force Annual #1 (2022), in which Logan takes the lead of another superhero team: the X-Force.
Appeared in its first form and with its first members in 1991 in New Mutants (vol. 1) #100, the X-Force is derived from the X-Men and consists, in the new series that interests us today, of Wolverine, Domino and Kid Omega. In the preview of X-Force Annual #1, the three characters are moreover on their way to a perilous mission, which could well impact the destiny of all mutants.
The mission of all dangers
In the extract unveiled by Marvel, we learn that a whole shipment of plants has been stolen by the secret human supremacist organization Orchis, who fears that the mutants will become too numerous and overthrow humanity. The plants in question are the flowers of Krakoa, which can notably help to extend the life of mutants, among other incredible properties. Wolverine and his friends will therefore do everything to recover them and prevent the enemy from using it to attack them.
Only, if one is interested in the synopsis of this first volume of X-Force Annual, we discover that the team is actually “drawn into a death trap designed to alter the fate of mutants”, just that. But in the leaked clip, Wolverine, Domino and Kid Omega are obviously unaware that they’re falling for it, and they may well have a hard time finding help once they’re gone. realized: traditionally, the X-Force is more violent and radical than the X-Men and must therefore act in the shadows so as not to tarnish the public image of mutants.
Given that this is only a first issue, we imagine that the three superheroes should get by, but we will have to delve into a longer read (only in English, unfortunately) in order to To be certain.
