752. Wolverine: Weapon X #3 ... #Wolverine ... #Mutant ... #Marvel ... #RonGarney ...

[This is reviewed on 3rd Dec 2017]

It continues the saga of a Black Ops squad that are blessed with endurance, healing factor and laser claws to simulate Wolverine's claws and this issue shows the growing depths as Wolverine investigates what the hell is going on by setting up his own strategies.

So we see the CEO of the company whose stocks are skyrocketing while an investigative reporter is trying to get the dirt out to the public and get him hauled up to the senate committee for a hearing knowing potentially also if the senate votes to support him and he can twist his way out of whatever she throws at him

On the sidelines, while Wolverine is out there doing what he does best and fighting off (as the cover indicates) a gaggle of baddies, we see his once in a while popping up friend Maverick assisting him in the covert part providing him with information and what-not. They even have an agent (ex of Maverick) assisting them ... she is currently an agent of Hammer (at this point in Marvel's history, SHIELD is gone replaced by Hammer, an agency run by Norman Osborn - yes we know how ludicrous that sounds especially since he is a proven psycho and the ex Green Goblin but what the heck, it is comics) ...

So is there enough fighting? Yes

Is it more of the same with variations in the old Weapon X storyline? Unfortunately yes

And while the artwork is adequate because it is from an old hand like Garney, unfortunately Garney's work is workman like with no splash and hence ... boring ... sigh!

Ratings: 5/10
