Weapon X: First Class #3 - Marvel


This was an interesting book, but . . if you're a regular follower of the X-Men, there wasn't really any new information presented here. It was mostly stuff we already knew. Actually, it was kind of a re-telling of the Weapon-X story from the Marvel Comics Presents series. Marc Sumerak wrote it and Mark Robinson does the art. Actually, the best part about the Wolverine story was the Michael Ryan cover. All 3 issues have had pretty sweet covers, to be honest. I liked the story, but it was more of something that we'd see from the animated series. It just had that feel to it. Anyways, in the back-up story we find out that Remy was there at the time also . . the Weapon-X facility during Logan's break-out. Apparently these scientists had used some of the information they had gathered from one of Mister Sinister's logs. And, being who he is, he probably had a pretty good idea that circumstances would devolve quickly. He just didn't want to lose his research. So, he goes to the Thieves Guild and hires Remy to go and retrieve his book. However, after Remy sees the horrors that are being created there, he takes the book outside and burns it. "Maybe the thieves don't exactly do the lords work . . but that place must be run by the devil himself. If this book has anythin' to do with what goes on in there . . . well, then maybe it deserves to burn too." Apparently this is one of the first times that Sinister uses Remy. But, as we all know, it won't be the last. I thought this story was actually a bit more interesting than the first. Mainly because it wasn't just rehashed material. Marc also wrote this one, but Tim Seeley does the art. It looks pretty sweet too. I still don't know if it was worth $3.99 though. But . . it was ok.
