Act two wraps up with another giant battle, this time as Wolverine and Captain America fending off a Weapon Plus Bear, before taking their leads and heading off deep into the Swiss Alps following their next lead. I think coming into this book with some of the wider history behind the Weapon Plus program definitely helps, but the chalkboard outline of all the different experiments is a clever way to help new comers who are curious along, if you have access to a Google search you’ll be caught up quickly. The coordinates take Wolvie and Cap to a seemingly defunct Weapon Plus lab, complete with what looks like abandoned experiments, with a listing of the history of the Weapon Plus program available for all to see. Billy is at first a sweet kid obsessed with Captain America, seemingly on the right path to an honest living, however he eventually becomes overtaken with becoming exactly like Cap, serum and all, that he winds up going to dastardly lengths to get what he wants. The meat and cheese of the dialogue boils down to the Weapon Plus program/facility, the one responsible for creating Wolverine (Weapon X) and Phantom X (Weapon XIII), is back … or really should we be saying, “have they ever really left?” Ethan Saks kicks the issue off in an intriguing way really getting me invested in the first act of this story and the art which is initially very eye catching with some creative panel layouts sets the tone nicely.Īs Cap and Logan head off to investigate some leads the story begins to be inter-cut with some flashback scenes to a character named Billy Junger. After the two heroes conduct a brief team-up ,to battle the common threat who also bare the face of Cap himself, a holographic vision of Phantom X pops up to give the story’s exposition and introduce us to the threat at hand. The issue begins with Captain America and Wolverine, seemingly at random, bumping into each other in their adventures across the Marvel landscape. This series specifically, based on a quick glance of the cover art, seems to want to connect the Captain America and Wolverine’s ‘origins’ so lets see whats cooking. I really have no idea how they keep their medical license, but here we are once again, set to revisit the programs connections to various heroes and villains. ![]() The Weapon Plus program is responsible for a lot of shenanigans in the Marvel Universe. ![]() Art Team: Diogenes Neves, Adriano DiBenedetto, Frederico Blee, VC’s Joe Sabino
