Together on their very own X-team for the very first X-time – all in an X-tra-sized first issue! When a high-stakes mutant rescue mission from the ultimate global hot spot exposes the true enemy – possibly from within – an all-new team of all-action icons suddenly find themselves forged in fire. And the official membership policy is…no mercy allowed! Weapon X-Men #1 kicks off the “One World Under Doom” tie-in series that I’m still trying to figure out.
With major events and shifts in status-quo comes miniseries, and tie-in series, and one shots, some of which are head scratching as far as their connection. So far, out of all of the releases, Weapon X-Men #1 is that big question mark. Written by Joe Casey, Weapon X-Men #1 has the frenetic pacing you’d kind of expect for 00s/10s X-Men comics. The basic story is a team is put together for… something. It’s not clear exactly what but the series of events connects Wolverine, Deadpool, Chamber, Cable, and James Proudstar aka Warpath. Why? That’s still up in the air, but the issue is packed with twists and turns and action, none of it really makes much sense at this point. This is the popcorn action story you just sit back and try to not think too much about the details.
The art by Chriscross has a bit of a throwback feel to it, much like the story. With ink by Mark Morales, color by Yen Nitro, and lettering by Clayton Cowles, the comic’s visuals pop. It reminds me a lot of the X-Men style in the late 90s/early 00s and if that’s your thing, that’s great. The characters look good and the action is entertaining, visually the comic is solid and the panels echo the vibe Casey is going for in the writing. It’s a good combo of writer and art team.
The action is kind of fun and the banter ok but overall, Weapon X-Men #1 feels like a bit of a throwback with a tie into “One World Under Doom,” somehow. Things will obviously clear up as the series progresses but as far as a start, it’s an odd one.
