Even with an absurd premise, "Hunt for Wolverine: Weapon Lost" #1 is a delightfully strange tribute to some of the weirdest street-level heroes at Marvel. Read Full Review

The line of Hunt For Wolverine comic books might seem bloated, but if they all end up like this it might just be worth it. Read Full Review

Subtle, well paced investigation based plot that allows for character development. Read Full Review

It's a shame that such a good great cast of characters is being wasted in a Wolverine-centric event. Read Full Review

Hunt for Wolverine: Weapon Lost #1 is a straightforward and promising start for this spin-off. While the story is both competent yet conventional, the art of Buffagni and Charalampidis makes for a uniquely gorgeous comic book. As such, this one earns a solid recommendation. Check it out.

We don't see Wolverine in the flesh, but this issue takes a more interesting approach than expected. You'll be entertained enough not to care whether or not Logan ever appears. Read Full Review

For some, the slow pace of this issue and the fact it's all set up will be a downer. It's true that you don't get much more than what was said in the solicit. But for newcomers or Wolverine fans who don't have much knowledge of Daredevil the information given is essential. By the end of the comic, we know all the characters back stories and powers. Charles Soule has said that in classic noir style this tale will have a slow burn leading to an explosive ending and a major revelation. So readers patience should be rewarded. Read Full Review

In terms of progressing the Hunt, this issue does nothing beyond roping a supporting cast to Daredevil. The moody tone makes this issue worth a peek if you love hardboiled detective stories, but it couldn't possibly be considered "essential." And you can shave about three points off our rating if you're a die-hard Cypher fan and you don't care to see him turned into a punchline for the Nth time. Our recommendation for Weapon Lost #1: Skip It. Read Full Review

This was a really frustrating read, and if this is indicative as to how the rest of these minis will go then Im just gonna hard pass; this feels like something thats really going to drag on, especially with the readers already knowing about OG Wolverine having an infinity gem. Will it get better? It might, but I'm not sure how long I'm gonna stick around to wait. Read Full Review

I definitely loved the slow pace Soule used to assemble this merry band of sleuths but I hope there is enough time to tell a full story in 3 issues. Great art and I love the tone. I love the team of Daredevil, Misty, Frank, and Cypher

Daredevil goes into maximum hardboiled mode and treats Logan's absence as a missing person case. He recruits from the ranks of the NYPD, teaming up with Frank McGee and Misty Knight. I like the team and love the tone, but the pace seems slow. The flying vehicles and making a big joke out of crazy Cypher sit poorly with me, too. This definitely wouldn't convince me to buy the series in floppies, but it makes a fine MU read.

Welcome to the Oblivion Bar where the first round is on me and the pretzels are free! Be warned: like the pickled eggs at the bar, this issue is going to get SPOILED rotten.

So the Hunt for Wolverine continues. And even though it was not as exciting as last week’s issue, I still found parts of this interesting enough to hang in there for a little while longer.

We pick up with Daredevil, of all people, trying to track down Wolverine. I’m still not seeing the connection between Daredevil and Wolverine other than the writer of these books, Charlie Soule, is the same writer in the “Hunt for Wolverine” books and “Daredevil”. If anyone else knows a better connection, let me know.

Daredevil realizes he needs some help, so he turns to Frank McGee, old NYPD detective turned Inhuman by the Terrigen Mist. His powers are the ability to project really bright light from his eyes that is blinding AND he can use his powers like a camera and save images in his head creating photographic memory. The last power can be pretty cool for solving crimes I guess. But Frank really has no ties to Wolverine at all and it seems that because of boredom, he joins Daredevil.

Then, Daredevil goes to get Misty Knight for help. For those that don’t know, she has a mechanical arm and also use to work for the NYPD. Again, I don’t see the tie to Wolverine. Somehow, Frank suckers her into joining up with Daredevil as well. Now let me tell you, if Wolverine is Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Daredevil picked a great crew to help. But if they need to travel the world, speak to other people and in other cultures, I don’t know how well they will do?

So, Misty has a connection which leads them to this old X-Men named Cypher who can decode anything. When they find him, he’s basically become a shut in obsessed with solving the answers of the Internet. You know: the usual. Frank, seeing that Cypher is showing signs of addiction, tries to help by shooting up all the technolog more

technology in Cyphers house while Daredevil takes a baton to Cypher’s head knocking him out. Cold turkey is always the best way to stop an addict. So, I’m sure this won’t bite them in the tush later. No Sir! The story ends with the gang taking Cypher to eat a burger and Daredevil asking him if he will help out. Cypher says sure, takes a phone, searches Wolverine online, and gets hits of his locations including a weird wedding picture/ prom picture of him and a pregnant woman. ( shoulder shrug)

I know what you’re thinking; crazy cliffhanger.... When we left last weeks “Hunt for Wolverine” I really was excited to see where this was going and thought adding Daredevil would be an interesting twist and different type of person to help find him. Well, I was right about it being “different”. I just have a hard time getting behind a group of Daredevil, Frank McGee, and Misty Knight as the team that will find Wolverine. I’m not buying why they would help and other than their detective skills

I don’t see the point of them being in these issues to come. I’m not going to lie, I’ve lost a ton of interest after seeing Daredevil’s line up. Soule is going to need something HUGE in the next one to get me back into this thing. Watching Kevin McCallister stealing his Dad’s credit card, living in a NYC hotel, and using a Talkboy to trick Tim Curry is currently more exciting than this. I do however have faith in Soule’s writing so hopefully this was just a huge set up issue for what’s to come

Great art, but the story itself isn't grabbing me so far.

Just for Wolverine completists. Soule is usually hit and miss. If he has not plotted an exciting story (as he did in the great Astonishing X Men), he just drag things out like he did in his godawful Inhumans run.
Unfortunately for this story he decides to bring one of the worst characters from that run, the super boring private detective Frank McGee. The Death of the Inhumans can’t come too soon for that guy. He takes almost half the story.
Misty Knight livens things up and there is a great denouement with a (cult?) character from the mutant universe. I really like that character so that saved the issue for me and pointed in an intriguing direction. If you are not a fan of said character, half an issue of Frank McGee might be hard to stomach. more
