I'm very happy this book with this team exists. We didn't learn much about what's to come, really, but hey. I also like the idea of a program using Weapon-X's progress for something benevolent, but I doubt we'll ever see that...

It's less that Nightcrawler will be appearing and more that you know Aaron will write him well and include him for intriguing purposes.

For some reason the name of the series looks like a red hering to me.
I mean it's titled with Weapon X, but if no one else from it except Maverick is going to appear in it and if it only takes place in the present with no actualy Weapon X programm involved, how the hell can you keep calling it Wolverine: Weapon X?
Sure he is the Weapon X, so you could say it's about his live as a made weapon. But that doesn't seems like a good reason to name that series like this.
Besides Wolverine took care of these soldiers and the next arc has nothing to do with Weapon X at all anymore.
So this whole book is just a normal Wolverine series, a well written one with great art which is defeninetly worth reading under Aaron, but still only a "Wolverine and his wacky, bloody advantures" comic.
Ah, who cares.Last edited by Grunty; 09-01-2009 at 03:36 PM.

Hopefully. It's likely to be just a brief cameo like the other ones, but that's at least something. Maybe that stupid Mystique thing will be addressed a bit more. Either way, Kurt in a Wolverine title makes me giddy. Originally Posted by Filthy Mutie

I love this series. Looking forward to seeing Nightcrawler, Psylocke and the Thing. Captain America could be cool so long as it's Bucky and not Steve, at least IMO.

It's vexing to me that this and Cable are the most enjoyable X-Books even though I have so little affinity for the characters.

I want to like Cable, but just don't. I think a "Jason Aaron" down to earth approach to the character might be just what he needs. Bring him back and throw him into situations like Wolverine is in right now in Wolverine: Weapon X. Taking out evil corporations, overthrowing third-world dictators, etc. Basically like Soldier X, but with better art. That's what I'd like to see anyway.

Cable and Deadpool also SOMETIMES did a good job of getting Cable down to earth again. Originally Posted by rwsmith

This is the bestWolverine book out there, no Romulus and Daken destroying the already ridiculously convoluted back story that Wolverine has

Amen to that. Romulus and Daken have done something I never thought was possible. Give Wolverine a more confusing and less realistic origin then he already had. And the fact that they had to kill off Sabertooth before they introduced these characters just shows you that even Joe Q new these characters where lame. He also knew that they would never be considered Wolverine's chief rivals if Sabertooth was around.
Oh and the fact that they have explained all of Wolverine's past but failed to make Creed a big part of it was a major error as well. Your company spends what 20; 30 years foreshadowing that Sabertooth knows more about Wolverine then anyone and then when you are about to reveal it all you kill him off and say oh he wasn't really important to Wolverine anyway.
