The cliffhanger reveals an alarming twist: Wade’s mind has been compromised by Stryfe, Cable’s nefarious clone nurtured by Apocalypse. Stryfe appears keen to enlist Wolverine and Deadpool as his new X-Cutioners, connecting this series to Stryfe’s infamous storyline, “X-Cutioner’s Song.”In an intriguing turn, Logan uncovers a new mutant virus ominously labeled ‘Legacy: Reborn.’

Fans will be keen to see if Stryfe’s arc will intersect with the legacy of the X-Cutioner—a different antagonist from the X-Men universe—adding layers of connection to a well-known tale. Regardless of how the plot unfolds, the groundwork has been laid for an epic series. I eagerly await the next chapter of Deadpool/Wolverine.

Now available, Deadpool/Wolverine #1 is a must-read for Marvel aficionados.
