I don't get the Weapon X hate, is it that bad of a book? I mean compared to the likes of Gold, Astonishing and some arcs of Blue. I think this book serves a purpose and has a place in the overall X Franchise right now. We can't keep having the same characters appear in all the books or the same basic storylines that seem to run through all the books. I personally like Weapon X, I like the gritty direction, I like no ties to the school or Kitty and I like the characters most of all. Now could it be better, of course! in some areas, but it's better than a lot that's currently out there. My hope is with this new line up the writers really cut loose, really push the envelope and make this team a force. No half ass crap. So until this book is no longer being published I will keep enjoying it.
