Assault on Weapon Plus (New X-Men #142-145‪)‬ E For Evolution: X-Amining Grant Morrison's X-Men

All three of us are back together to discuss the "guy's night out" story-arc. Cyclops has left the X-Men after Jean learned of his psychic affair. Wolverine beats Cyclops in a drinking contest, then drags him along on a raid on Weapon Plus and The World with Fantomex. We get an action-packed arc that plays to Chris Bachalo's artistic sensibilities but also gives us some great characterization, particularly of Scott, Logan, and their relationship. And also, some great commentary on The Authority and The Ultimates.

Issues Covered:
New X-Men #142 – Brimstone & Whiskey
New X-Men #143 – The World
New X-Men #144 – The Flesh
New X-Men #145 – The Devil

These issues are available in New X-Men by Grant Morrison Ultimate Collection, Book 3 or New X-Men: Assault on Weapon Plus.
