About the author
Jason Aaron
2,358 books1,677 followersJason Aaron grew up in a small town in Alabama. His cousin, Gustav Hasford, who wrote the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers, on which the feature film Full Metal Jacket was based, was a large influence on Aaron. Aaron decided he wanted to write comics as a child, and though his father was skeptical when Aaron informed him of this aspiration, his mother took Aaron to drug stores, where he would purchase books from spinner racks, some of which he still owns today.
Aaron's career in comics began in 2001 when he won a Marvel Comics talent search contest with an eight-page Wolverine back-up story script. The story, which was published in Wolverine #175 (June 2002), gave him the opportunity to pitch subsequent ideas to editors.
In 2006, Aaron made a blind submission to DC/Vertigo, who published his first major work, the Vietnam War story The Other Side which was nominated for an Eisner Award for Best Miniseries, and which Aaron regards as the "second time" he broke into the industry.
Following this, Vertigo asked him to pitch other ideas, which led to the series Scalped, a creator-owned series set on the fictional Prairie Rose Indian Reservation and published by DC/Vertigo.
In 2007, Aaron wrote Ripclaw: Pilot Season for Top Cow Productions. Later that year, Marvel editor Axel Alonso, who was impressed by The Other Side and Scalped, hired Aaron to write issues of Wolverine, Black Panther and eventually, an extended run on Ghost Rider that began in April 2008. His continued work on Black Panther also included a tie-in to the company-wide crossover storyline along with a "Secret Invasion" with David Lapham in 2009.
In January 2008, he signed an exclusive contract with Marvel, though it would not affect his work on Scalped. Later that July, he wrote the Penguin issue of The Joker's Asylum.
After a 4-issue stint on Wolverine in 2007, Aaron returned to the character with the ongoing series Wolverine: Weapon X, launched to coincide with the feature film X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Aaron commented, "With Wolverine: Weapon X we'll be trying to mix things up like that from arc to arc, so the first arc is a typical sort of black ops story but the second arc will jump right into the middle of a completely different genre," In 2010, the series was relaunched once again as simply Wolverine. He followed this with his current run on Thor: God of Thunder.

The main story is Time travelling terminators from the future killing people because they believe they will become threats but when they target the new Cap aka Bucky, Wolverine has to jump in and save him and also the Avengers come in and then we have origins, sentience of Deathlok robots and all which was predictable and went no where and Wolverine sort of fought them. Also Wolverine laments the death of Kurts and learns a lesson and a dark reign empire tie-in which teams up with Fantomex.
Yeah it was really bad and the story went no where just circling around god knows where. It was really bad and the art was bad too and I didn't like the pacing and un-necessary exposition and ugh bad one. Skip this.

I have grown to enjoy the work of Jesse Aaron on Scalped and Ghost Rider. If there is one thing that he is good at, is that he writes great tough guys and Wolverine in the toughest superhero there is.
I got to sample his work on the character with this collected edition of an arc on Wolverine: Weapon X that featured the cyborg Deathlok. The way I see it, this book featured characters that are similar as they were both designed to be ultimate weapons, but they are in fact mirror images of each other.
Wolverine had his humanity stripped away and his skeleton bonded with an unbreakable metal. Deathlok cyborgs were made from inanimate human corpses of murderers whose dead brain matter are fused with technology to house a sophisticated artificial intelligence designed for killing. Wolverine recovered his humanity as at his core he is still human; the programming was an attempt to overwrite his humanity. Deathlok is not human to begin with, as death removes all traces of humanity. The artificial intelligence bonded to the corpse experiences a glitch in his programming that makes him question his existence and yearn to achieve a semblance of humanity. That is a very conflicted character indeed and adds to the man/machine identity crisis the previous incarnations of Deathloks had. It is very different version of a character that has two early versions of it inhabit Marvel Comics. Yet it remains similar as it has recognizable elements and artist Ron Garney’ design is faithful to the original.
Aaron can really tell a story and though this book may not be a perfect introduction to his work on the Wolverine character, but enjoyable enough because of the all-out action and character work that is often present in his comics.

We start out with another time traveling from a horrific future story, which the X-Men are famous for. It's not the most original idea at this point, but the stories usually are pretty good, and this one was. Very much a Terminator type tale, with multiple Deathloks playing the role. The volume finishes up with a story set right after Nightcrawler's death that was philosophical, touching, and pretty deep for a Wolverine story.
Overall a better than average Wolverine volume.

More fun than the previous volume, but still not as good as the first. The Terminator theme was great, as was the pub crawl with Steve, but it didn't quite hit as much as I wanted it to.
The ending bit with Kurt felt a bit tacked on to tie-in with something else in the wider universe, but was a nice look into Logan's relationship with 'Elf'.

My Brief Bookshelf Overview: grim, hell-of-a-ride, mature, read, sci-fi, story-not-intriguing-enough
Story Synopsis:
ABSOLUTE RATING: {3+/5 stars}
STANDARDIZED RATING: <3/5 stars>
How very disappointing... Aaron has already demonstrated to me that he's got talent, so I'm hoping that this was just a brief slip-up in his career writing for Marvel.
I think the volume would have been better off with less going on in the story; there was very little about this that made it a characteristically "Wolverine" title, since too much other stuff was packed in here. And although that's not intrinsically too much of a bad thing, this approach made it so that the emphasis for character development had to be stretched too far between various characters to be very interesting. Another problem was that the story really stopped growing after issue #12, and the resolution didn't feel very worthwhile. By this I mean the whole thing was a rather formulaic Terminator-like action story, and didn't utilize any meaningful or creative twists.

This is my least favorite of the three Weapon X stories. It isn't that I didn't like the main story. I did. It is a time travel story that reminded me a bit of Terminator. There are cyborgs (I think that is the right term) killing people off in present day and they must be stopped. Seeing Wolverine and Spiderman in a grim future was neat and the information on the assassins is suitably grim. While I enjoyed the main story and thought it was worth reading, it didn't quite blow me away as much as previous volumes and that is why I gave it a lower score. The two one shot stories were about the same. There was a nice issue about the death of Nightcrawler which goes for an emotional punch. The other story features Fantomex and someone else who I can't remember plus Wolverine killing some sort of zombie and it seemed mostly inconsequential. While not the strongest of Aaron's work, I don't regret buying this volume and I am looking forward to reading more Wolverine.

I really liked it
but at times
It Was Amazing!
Wolverine and Deathlok, I am sorry but I am geeking out over this one!
Brilliant writing from Aaron, here in this "super hero book" he finally reminds us,
yes he IS the genius behind "SCALPED"
Superb artwork throughout but especially from Garney!
Geek Heaven!

Wariacja Aarona na temat Terminatora, gdzie złowrogą inteligencję zastępuje firma Roxxon z przeszłości, która wysyła Deathloki do przeszłości, aby te eliminowały przyszłych liderów opozycji. Jest krwawo. Mamy udział starego, jak i nowego Kapitana Ameryki plus New Avengers, który próbują powstrzymać wyprodukowanych morderców przed wykonaniem swojego celu.
Mamy całkiem sporo walk, paradoksów czasowych i dobrych zmyłek fabularnych, ale w gruncie rzeczy historia jest prosta. Nie ma tu rozwoju postaci, a i sam Wolverine może nie występuje tu w ilościach śladowych, ale zdecydowanie miałem odczucie, że jest go za mało. Fajne powitanie starego Capa.
Na koniec mamy jeszcze pożegnanie starego przyjaciela, który w testamencie poprosił Logana o małą przysługę. Przetransportowanie fortepianu do pewnego kościoła w Ameryce Południowej. Rozpoczynają się wspominki.
Fajny tom, który być może nie ma tego ognia co dwa poprzednie, ale i tak bawiłem się tu dobrze.

Alright. I want to start 2025 by avoiding spoilers but highlights for me include: Spider-Man stealing the Thing's catchphrases, the sad fate of the hero who will never be known as Slag, famous last words: "Take care of my opossums...", and the creative team of Jason Aaron and Ron Garney. The Nightcrawler story was sweet, and the Noh-Varr/Phantomex story was fun: "I always knew that atheists would save the world."
Things that could have been better: The Noh-Varr/Phantomex story maybe should have opened the book since it occurred first chronologically. There is even a foot note left in referring to the story, soooo better organization. I wasn't entirely clear on some of the finer points of the climactic issue of the Deathlok story. I cannot elaborate because, again, no spoilers.
Funny book, no huge shakes. Got it for $1 from a MyComicShop.com auction. Probably going to put it back into the world as a trade or a donation. Whatever. Happy reading.

I was excited to read a story with Luther Manning again - - but he’s not in it. There’s an entire army of Deathloks from the future, sent into the present by the ultra-powerful Roxxon Corporation to kill super-heroes before they can become the potential General who takes down Roxxon in 2035. Sound like the plot from the Terminator movie? Yep, the Deathloks even speak in computer lingo with words like . . . identity confirmed, target neutralized, etc. Despite the presence of Logan, Steve Rogers, Captain America/Bucky Barnes, Spider-Man and others this really began to bore me. Ron Garney’s good art was the only thing keeping me going. Then, writer Jason Aaron throws a twist in Issue #14 that makes it interesting again and lifts this above the mediocre.
I read this in the single issues of WOLVERINE: WEAPON X #11-15.

A typical X-Men time travel adventure that involves The Avengers (particularly Steve Rogers and Bucky Barnes as Captains America) and an army of Deathloks. It follows Jason Aaron's other Wolverine stories where there's a mystery at its core that, when it's revealed is neither particularly shocking nor is it illogical.
There's also a story of Wolverine dealing with his grief over a major death from X-Men: Second Coming. It's ok.
And, as usual, Marvel editorial takes a story that takes place well before the action in this book and tacks it at the end for no narratively satisfying reason. They just couldn't think of where else to put it.
This is a decent, if not great collection for Wolverine fans.

Tomorrow Dies Today (WX #11-15). One more Weapon X arc, one more attempt to create super-soldiers. This time, it's Deathloks from the future. The story feels pretty derivative of Terminator with a few dollops of "Days of Future Past", and is heavily fight-oriented. The only saving grace is some fun timey-wimeyness [3+/5].
The End of the Beginning (WX #16). It's good to get Logan's response to Kurt's (temporary) death, but having a whole issue of Kurt trying to force his religion on Logan is actually pretty offensive [0/5].

Great Terminator-esque Wolverine story loaded with guest stars. The backup stories are more than solid too. To top it off, you get heart felt insight into Wolverine’s relationships with Captain America and Nightcrawler making this much more than a hack and slash fest. Must read for all Wolverine fans.

Run complete. Another solid entry. Surprised this only went 3 volumes.
I love Deathlok as both an antihero and villain. Impossible to ignore the Terminator comparisons, but the main difference is the remnants of Deathlok's trapped human mind is constantly combatting his programming, (unsuccessfully). That warring internal monologue is a fascinating POV.
Spider-Man dying was a nice added bonus.

The main storyline here really impressed me. It starts off as a good, if slightly uninspired, Terminator story, but ultimately wraps up into a really interesting time travel story. Wolverine is in the story, but it's not really his story. Very good.

Jason Aaron does everything I love about "tableau" comic books here, and does so with such ease and style; its always a masterclass. Dude is fcking sharp. Ron Garney's art has never looked better, shout out to Jason Keith & Matt Milla.

This one was way more interesting than I had, at first, expected. The way time travel was played with here was clever. The questions of identity made me think a little. And all the action and violence that can be expected from Wolverine was there, too.

Jason Aaron teams up with Ron Garney once again for Vol 3 in the Wolverine: Weapon X series, "Tomorrow Dies Today". Terminator-type cyborg killing machines have travelled from the future and are killing off future superheroes while they're children or killing their parents before they're born in an effort to control the future for their corporate masters, a mega-company called Roxxon. On the hit list is Captain America but the cyborgs will have to go through his buddy, Wolverine, first. Snikt.
The book starts off well with Cap and Wolverine going on a pub crawl in the Blackbird but then the action starts up and it's like every other superhero comic you've read. Couple that with the usual tropes of time travel stories - seeing people from the future meet themselves in the past, man as boy, future self and past self, and all the paradoxes, etc, snooze... - and it's the least interesting book in the series so far.
That, plus the unsatisfactory resolution to the main story which doesn't really tell you anything revelatory about what happened before. There are a couple of one-shots included where Wolverine has to carry a piano up a South American mountain to a monastery as per the will of a recently deceased X-Man which was kind of cool, if only for the artwork of Davide Gianfelice who does landscapes more beautifully than any comic book artist out there right now.
There's another one-shot which is similar to the main story but with zombies that's probably the most boring part of this book mostly because Wolverine's barely in it, there's a bad punchline, and the focus is on two superheroes I've never heard of.
I like Aaron's work on Wolverine, he's got the character's voice down perfectly, but this volume is not his finest storyline for the character. Garney's art is his usual standard, I'm still not sure if it's that good but it suits Aaron's gritty plots. Probably only for fans of Aaron and Wolverine, not a must read in this series.

A mysterious team of cyborg bounty hunters from the future is killing superpowered people. They are the Deathloks and their next target is Captain America. Miranda Bayer's visions from the future the can help the heroes, but also makes her a target.
The last issue has Logan remember several talks he had with Kurt before the latter was killed. In his will, Kurt asks Logan to bring a grand piano to a remote church. He has to carry it up a mountain since landing a plane there is impossible. Logan finally understands what made Kurt tick and appreciates his friendship with the man even more.

Some of Marvel's best stories are "Elseworlds" tales. Stories set in some distant future where everything regular Marvel readers know is different. In these stories writers are free to kill and mutilate whoever they like, because it doesn't change the status quo. The significance of whatever brought the world to this state is magnified cause we know in regular continuity, changes like this would never happen. "The Days of Future Past" "Earth X" "The Ultimates" "Old Man Logan" all great examples of this kind of story; While "Tomorrow Dies Today" doesn't reach the legendary status of any of these, it is a really good Wolverine story relying heavily on this device. Primarily this is a vehicle for reviving Deathlok as a character in the Marvel Universe. Ron Garney is an adequate artist, though not great, and Jason Aaron's script is fun, exciting action, without the morbidity and gore that marred much of his work on Wolverine. The two backup stories are good enough to not bother me, even a little bit fun.

This was a rather disjointed set of stories. I had seen Deathlok hanging out with Wolverine in Wolverine and the X-Men, and wasn't really sure why. I guess this is the beginning of that. The story was rather hard to follow at times, since the framing didn't do a great job of separating the future from the past (Deathlok comes back from the future along with several other Deathlok units which get destroyed in the process of killing a few people, including Winter Soldier as Captain America). It's all rather strange, but resolves itself fairly well, and weirdly connects with the (fairly poor) previous story arc, as well as the events of the surrounding Marvel Universe. The issue about the death of Nightcrawler (surprise! he has come back since then) was an interesting conflict of Wolverine as an atheist (or at least non-Christian) and Nightcrawler with his strongly Christian beliefs. It was a tribute to their friendship despite that, and fairly interesting. Overall, this was alright, but not a favorite of mine.

Alternative timeline stories offer superhero writer the chance to write stories with characters unshackled from the constraints of continuity. Time travel stories offer the tempting but often fraught with danger story device of having characters go back or forward in time to achieve some objective, sometimes initially hidden from the reader for greater story impact. Both devices are utilised in this volume starring Wolverine.
There are various stories involving Captain America, Deathlok and Nightcrawler and while they are all without any major flaws story and art wise, they are also without any major strengths. While I think I enjoyed the story involving Nightcrawler the best, I found myself finishing the volume for the sake of finishing it (and amidst growing boredom) rather than out of a sense of thrill and interest (even just while reading it). Dedicated fans may enjoy this volume, while the casual reader won’t miss much by skipping it.

Time travel stories in comics are usually favorites of mine. I love the possibilities involved. Here, we're given a look at the Deathlok Program. Jason Aaron crafts an interesting story that pure comic booky fun, if that makes any sense. The inclusion of the Avengers makes perfect sense given the situation and Logan's involvement with them. I enjoyed the outcome and would really like to see this story picked up on by Aaron again. The art by Ron Garney was inconsistent. It was spectacular at times but then at others looked rushed. The tribute to Nightcrawler was also meaningful. The Logan/Kurt dynamic has always need fun to read. The art in that particular issue was brutal however. The editing was also confusing with the Dark Reign - The List book being last as opposed to first where it chronologically belonged. Overall, a pretty fun book with some artistic misses.

I'm a Time Travel junkie. I mainline the shit. And this is the shit. Brings to mind Matt Fraction's The Invincible Iron Man vol 6 though I'm not sure who copied who.
The best part about the Weapon X series is not just the main stories, but the shorter stories that occur afterwards. For someone who likes to put Wolverine into a blender, these stories are very emotional and heart-wrenching. These tales about new loves, deaths of friendships reach into your gut and twist. You think Wolverine oughta cry, but he doesn't. He's been through too much his tear ducts dried up, but he knows the sentiment. He understands what's happening to him. He feels it.

Lots of pros and cons for this one. Parts of the dialogue are a little shaky (eg. asking Wolverine about his new girlfriend whilst in the middle of a fight in the middle of hitting someone) and a storyline stolen from Terminator. There's a few other minor gripes... Nonetheless it's enjoyable, lots of action, Wolverine and Deathlok were great to see and the short Wolverine and Nightcrawler story at the end was amazing, their interaction kind of steals the show with this for me.
There was a few nice little cameos from other superheroes, great artwork too. This one wasn't amazing but I did certainly enjoy it.

very interesting, helps to see Wolverine movie minutes before reading :-)
Enjoyed the story of Deathlocks coming from future to ged rid of people who will be their oposition nearly 30 years in future. Very well drawn and storytelling was also great.
Was bit surprised by second and third story as they are not linked or connected, excpet main character but give deeper insight into Wolverine's world.
Very solid 3, 5 stars

Shows how Wolverine deals with Kurt's death (Nightcrawler). How Deathlok came to be aware of human emotions, and his future timeline as well that deals with Roxxon owning everything. It's quite a nice read, if you can deal with the jumping chapters with the flash forwards and flash backs. It isn't absolutely amazing in any shape or form, but it's like a nice peak into character development for certain heroes.
