Earlier this year, we learned that the fabled Weapon Plus program had a much larger connection to the Marvel Universe than we had known. Well we’re about to learn more as Ben Percy (X-FORCE, WOLVERINE) and Georges Jeanty (WEAPON X, AGE OF X-MAN: X-TREMISTS) dive into the world of Weapon IV in WEAPON PLUS: WORLD WAR IV #1 with a killer Kyle Holtz cover.

Ted Sallis developed a formula that turned him into the Man-Thing. All who know fear burn at his touch. His research, however, was used by Weapon IV to make a vegetative super soldier known as Man-Slaughter. Comics are good.

Check out the full solicit below and make sure to check out WEAPON PLUS: WORLD WAR IV this January!

WHATEVER KNOWS FEAR!

Biochemist Ted Sallis was developing a serum for military application, but was tragically killed in a freak accident before he could perfect it. Still, the data behind his formula remains property of the United States government and the Weapon IV Program to this day–Mutants aren’t the only ones to have weaponized flora!

Marvel Comics proudly presents a sensational new hero ready to fight back against the new world order! No longer just a man…not a thing…he’s All-American soil and he’s reporting for duty… Benjamin Percy (WOLVERINE, X-FORCE) and GEORGES JEANTY (WEAPON X) introduce…MAN-SLAUGHTER!
