Just read Weapon X for the first time. I liked that BWS put so much thought into the technical side of things, but the story got a little repetitive, particularly with the completely unnecessary coda, which just repeated what we'd already seen. Also...
I was frustrated that we never learned who the mysterious voice giving orders to the professor is, but then I came across this little nugget from Barry Windsor Smith:

A thread of creators in comics; this one is from Iron Fist #15. Paty Cockrum, Dave Cockrum, Chris Claremont, Bonnie Wilford and John Byrne attend a party at Jean Grey's apartment.
Iron Man #85 features a plethora of cameos, courtesy of Marie Severin. The first page features Glynis Wein, Ron Wilson, Marie, Herb Trimpe, Morrie Kuramoto, Irene Vartanoff, Len Wein & John Verpoorten.
Most unnecessary retcon ever? Between Captain America's first and second appearances in 1941, his cowl was altered to cover his neck. During Roger Stern & John Byrne's retelling of Cap's origin (#255, 1980), they felt the need to provide an explanation for the change.
My 2024 comic reading (part 2):
X-Men (Neal Adams' run): The best of the original X-Men, with - obviously - gorgeous art.
Amazing Adventures: A mixed bag. I loved the solo Beast stories.
Avengers #100 - 200. The best Avengers run! Apart from #200...
Tomb of Dracula: Okay so far.
My 2024 comic reading (part 1):
Marvel Team-Up: Sometimes fun, rarely more than that.
Man-Thing vol. 1: Ahead of its time, Gerber Ploog = π₯°
Animal Man: Still my favourite Morrison work.
The Cat / Shanna The She-Devil: Two hugely enjoyable but sadly short-lived series.
