Tyler's life hangs in the balance between a master assassin, saving his parents, and the wrath of the school principal. This could be the biggest caper ever pulled off, or the end of the world at the School of Five Weapons.
Five Weapons is a story with a lot of heart and a lot more action. It's something fresh and different, and luckily it looks like we might be getting some more. Robinson will have a lot to live up to with whatever comes next, but I think he's up for the challenge. Read Full Review
I was nervous for this book, each month I've looked forward to Five Weapons, but this story could have so easily been rushed and ruined in it's final chapter. Thankfully that wasn't the case, it was handled nicely with everything being revealed and settled up by the end. Read Full Review
Jimmie Robinson has laid out a beautifully illustrated story that has more charm and wit than bite. Yes these are teen assassins but Robinson plays the wise guy angle, it's all very tongue in cheek. This is a comic, we know it, he knows it and the characters are fluid and given a fun life force. I still felt for the characters, especially the young decoy "Tyler". With this book coming to a close this issue is not for new readers. You can look forward to the collected edition soon and I hope enough of us buy this story to get another chapter to enjoy.

FIVE WEAPONS has grown on me a lot over the months. This title took me by surprise and I simply couldn't help but fall in love with thanks to its vibrant visuals, energetic cast and engrossing plot. Naturally, its final chapter comes as a double-edged sword to me -- I'm delighted to get answers yet saddened because it means saying goodbye. Thankfully, it delivers when it comes to answering (most) of our questions and remains every bit as sharp as the previous four issues. And the best part of it all? Robinson leaves the door open for a sequel and I sincerely hope Image gives him the green light to create one! Read Full Review
I say pick this series up if you can. Beg, borrow, steal; but get this saga. You will not be sorry! Read Full Review
"Five Weapons" #5 concludes a fun first storyline, and if you haven't read it yet, I'd definitely recommend scooping up all five issues when you get a chance. It's a smart series, one where the strength isn't so much in the concept but rather the execution. I'm glad that Robinson's coming back for more in a few months. I'll definitely be back, too.

A hopelessly rushed affair with little credibility, it's best to describe this mini as a bunch of good ideas with suitable art, but nothing more. Read Full Review
