Pak and Cinar are the perfect team for this title. We see just enough humor injected into the story to keep us entertained and yet when the action finally heats up we're given a battle where the stakes are innocent human lives. Sabretooth makes a gruesome discovery about their opponents and the secret of their fearlessness the twist at the end of this issue will make us want the next issue ASAP! Read Full Review
I was pretty hard on Weapon X the last time I reviewed it, but this issue shows that there is still quite a bit of life in the series. While this issue isn't particularly deep or thought-provoking, it is a good bit of fun with a cool team of heroes who get along in an entertaining way. I can recommend that, and you should feel free to check it out. Read Full Review

If you stuck with Weapon X through the entire Weapons of Mutant Destruction storyline then youre like me and too stubborn to drop it and this book probably wont tip the balance for you.

Yildiray Cinar redeems the weakness of the script with some outstanding art, keeping this issue just ins more
Pak has not been good to the main cast. Domino & Sabretooth are caricatures and Lady Deathstrike is just a prop. All of these are problems throughout the series. But Domino & Sabretooth's characterization is bleh.
Going into the caricature I mentioned with Domino. The entire opening scene, she's obsessing about money and brings up robbing banks three times to get some. Since when is Neena a common bank robber? Warpath gets a distressed message from an acquaintance in Santo Marco, which sets up their next mission. With that, Domino is excited because Santo Marco has a bank that's notorious for drug money they could get. Neena has been reduced to a money-fetish.
Next is Sabretooth. In this chapter, Creed complains the t more
