Marvel Comics Universe and Absolute Carnage: Weapon Plus #1 Spoilers and Review follows.

Carnage Is Hungry For Weapon V As Weapon H Stuck In The Middle?

What About Weapon X?

Carnage is after the symbiotes that are part of Weapon V so the Weapon Plus looks to recruit Weapon H to help them, but kidnapping his partner Janice.

Then we get a history lesson showing how the modern Weapon [insert letter or word here] ties into Project: Rebirth that spawned Captain America.

We see Winter Soldier’s Soviet Super Soldier added to the historical mix all the way to Agent Venom and Weapon V.

Carnage descends on Weapon V…

…with Weapon H standing between them…

…in painful battle.

Nonetheless, Carnage gets a taste of Weapon V…

…a cast member joins Carnage…

…and Weapon H has no qualms about Weapon V satiating Carnage’s appetite?!

The book ends with Weapon H and Janice reunited…

…as more Weapon Plus adventures teased…

…first with January 2020’s Weapon Plus: World War IV #1 and the debut of Man-Slaughter; a military Man-Thing?!

The Pulse:

A cool historical bit tying Project: Rebirth and everything after it to modern day Weapon Plus. However, that was the only compelling part of this issue and that was only two pages. No Wolverine in the issue despite variant cover. Sadly, another example of an unneeded Absolute Carnage tie-in. 3 out of 10.
