Weapon X-Men #4 Writer: Christos Gage | Artist: Yildiray Cinar | Colourist: Nolan Woodard | Letters: Clayton Cowles
I don’t want to come down too harshly on this as I have really enjoyed the series and even called it my sleeper hit of 2024. I think the best way to sum up this issue and the story’s ending is to say it was anti-climactic. Most annoying of all was how it seemed to throw out all the ingredients which had brought all the enjoyment in the previous three issues. Gone is the world-building of a new universe for our heroes to protect. The argument could be made adding one in the finale would have taken too much storytelling real estate. But as I said it was such a big part of the enjoyment, with the little nostalgia hits. They are essentially fighting on a blank canvas in this issue. Gage did stick with...

This was a lot of fun and I am not concerned to admit that my enjoyment of this really caught me off guard. I get sucked into anything with ‘Weapon X’ in the title and sometimes in the past that has burned me. But wow this was so much fun! That is high praise indeed seeing as it doesn’t really involve any alternate Wolverines I hold a soft spot for. Okay Old Man Logan is tried and tested, but I feel he has been overused. Here he is presented perfectly as like a Lethal Weapon ‘I’m too old for this shit’ Wolverine. Then we have Weapon X from Age of Apocalypse. That four-issue mini-series is a massive blind spot for me, but I am certainly tracking it down after reading this. In this story...
