Joe Casey Interview: Weapon X-Men

Deadpool is back with Wolverine and just like the first Deadpool movie release, we're dropping this episode on Valentine's Day weekend baby. Comics writing legend Joe Casey (Uncanny X-Men, Kneel Before Zod) is back on the show to chat with me about his new Marvel Comics project Weapon X-Men. I've already gotten a sneak peek and it's amazing. I typical Casey fashion, we're thrown into a fast paced, no holds barred rescue narrative beautifully drawn by artist ChrisCross (Blood Syndicate, Captain Marvel) with the newly constructed team of Wolverine, Deadpool, Cable, Thunderbird, and Chamber. Can they all possibly get along? You'll have to wait and see but its an excellent reintroduction to Casey back at the helm writing Cable after decades away. Our talk covers what it's like being back at the big two, generational differences between readers and their introductions to Logan and Wade, where the Weapon X-Men title actually came from, the unique make up of its cast, how does Baron Strucker fit into all this, his return to Jonny Quest with the Jonny Quest/Space Ghost crossover with Dynamite, and much more. Joe has been sharing some incredible insights over on his Substack so make sure to head over there and join. It's FREE! Joe Casey Substack From the publisher WOLVERINE! DEADPOOL! CABLE! CHAMBER!
