Weapon X #19 is a fun, goofy, yet compelling adventure for the X-Men black ops team. Sabretooth is a great lead for the book, and Omega Red is a good addition to the book. Cinar and DArmata are a great art team. In the end, this book earns recommendation. Check it out. Read Full Review

Pak, Van Lente, and Cinar deliver another fun book. Its definitely an enjoyable read with plenty of action and drama. Its all leading somewhere and if youve been unsure about Weapon X in the past, you may want to give this arc a try. Read Full Review
While Weapon X #19 doesn't quite deliver on the set up from last issue, it does lead to a satisfying status quo change of sorts for the team and that alone is worth reading for. Read Full Review
this just got good.
The process of on-boarding Omega Red is complicated by some more Russian-fighting plot twists. Otherwise, this issue is a welcome elaboration on the developments of the last one. It's elevated by some wonderfully clear art. But it's also dragged down by Sabretooth (of all people) doing a very shabby comedy routine on "Grumpy Cat" and "haz cheezburger" during his big fight scene. This title still wants to split the difference between earnest big-budget action adventure and parodying its own over-the-top-ness. The ambivalence still does more harm than good.
Not as good as chapter 18. Honestly the entire chapter was a bit average, but that's still considerable improvement over the first 17 chapters. We did still get some decent character work. The characterization on Creed & Domino was better, but still flawed. Domino still suffers her money fetish, but at least has left the frat party girl ditz territory she was in. Creed comes off in a more intelligent manner, rather than the childish moron he has been. And he's the one trying to stop the needless fighting amongst each other & unite everyone, since they're all in the same boat. But some of the too silly Sabretooth still pops up in this, such as the horrid meme dialogue during his fight with the Titanium Men. In addition to the ending with Omemore
