Weapon X-Force Lineup, and Maybe a Death Spoiler, Revealed by Marvel's Jordan White

Though this article is about publicly released Marvel promotional material and solicits, it may contain spoilers nonetheless. Consider yourself warned…

Marvel's ukulele-wearing, fedora-playing editor X-treme Jordan White revealed the full lineup for Weapon X-Force, the new team taking over the pages of Weapon X in August.

The "fresh start" for Weapon X was first revealed in Marvel's August solicitations. At that time, the roster was left a mystery. Sure, not a particularly hard to figure out one, but a mystery nonetheless.

A FRESH START FOR WEAPON X!
They were hunters who became the hunted… They were enemies forced to become allies… They were a ticking time bomb that had no choice but to fall apart… Out of the ashes of Team Weapon X, a new crew is borne! Sabretooth is putting together a team that is willing to do what other X-Men won't, willing to wade into blood and filth to protect mutantkind! But who will make the cut? Don't miss the debut of WEAPON X-FORCE!
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

But now we know that Sabretooth, Domino, and Lady Deathstrike will be sticking around, and joined by Omega Red and Mystique.

Of course, still a matter of concern is the solicit for the prior issue of Weapon X, also out in September, which teases the death of a team member:

THE EXPLOSIVE CONCLUSION OF "TEAM WEAPON X"!
• What began as a team of circumstance reaches its only logical conclusion: A GRAVE!
• Warpath and Old Man Logan aren't long for this world, but will Sabretooth rally the rest of the team or sign their epitaph himself?
32 PGS./Rated T+ …$3.99

With Warpath set to move onto Astonishing X-Men, and Domino, Sabretooth, and Deathstrike on Weapon X-Force, things aren't looking too good for Old Man Logan, are they? Especially with his younger counterpart set to return after another six or seven mini-series or so. Or does Marvel have a swerve in store for us? We'll find out in August.
