Wolverine Takes Out His Furry Vengeance on Deadpool
Deadpool and Wolverine: Weapon X-Traction Part 2by Ryan North and Javier Garrón
InWeapon X-Traction Part 1, an interdimensional portal opens up beneath Deadpool and Wolverine’s feet. Now inPart 2, they’re getting a quick tour of the infinite possibilities the multiverse has to offer. It wouldn’t be a Deadpool story if there weren’tself-aware references, and their first stop mocks Marvel 2099. As they keep zipping ahead into the future, their bodies become more robotic, untilDeadpool is just a torso with a gun for a head, and Wolverine is an adamantium spine with claws jutting out.
Wolverine has had enough of the gags, and the fur really starts to fly in the next universe, where both men become muscular, anthropomorphized animals. Wolverine’s persona looks a little more likethe animal he takes his name from, but Deadpool is one foxy furry. Instead of his normal scarred human body, Wade is healthy, fluffy, and ripped. As the two slash and bite at each other, Deadpool tells Logan something furry artists have known for years: anthropomorphized Wolverine vs. Deadpool can be a “needlessly hot, total smokeshow.” Wade admits he sees the appeal, now that he’s living it.
Deadpool’s Furry Moment Awakens Something In Him
TheWeapon X-Tractionbackup stories continue across six more issues, and their next stop isa zombie apocalypse. Considering the upcomingVenom Warjust announced that “zombiotes” will be a major threat, these two Canucks might be responsible for bringing back some zombie virus with them into the main canon. Deadpool and Wolverine have a love/hate relationship (in that Deadpool loves Wolverine and Wolverine hates Deadpool), and no matter the location or premise, they’re always a hit with the fans. This summer promises to be huge for the pair, both in theaters, and in the pages ofDeadpool and Wolverine: Weapon X-Traction.
