Some reactions to WEAPON OMEGA...

For 11 issues thought Benning more incompetant than insidious. (More bookwormish than bodacious too.) Not sure readers given a fair chance to see this development.

For 11+ issues readers endure very limited hard evidence of what's up with Pointer's powers and here they must entertain an info dump (along with Benning yakkity yakking for the whole time). Not a fan of Weapon Omega, especially if he continues as The Guardian; Marvel's handling and his development since Civil War has really hurt any chance of likability.

For 11 issues wondered who the redhead was. Susan Catrini, a telepath. Not a very good one and a bit anticlimatic reveal. One can ONLY speculate/hope that her and other telepaths' energies subconsciously had Pointer manipulating Rachel Carpenter(since the mini) based on the ending here.

For 11 issues Agent Brown has worn a signature bow tie, IIRC. This open collar cameo look was uncharacteristic and unseemly - however, to be fair his cliffhanger comment killed and more than made up for that nitpick. It'll mean more if he was an unwitting dupe for all this.

For 11 issues had some more fan fun with rearranging some words or challenging PBP points. Wouldve liked if this story worked in that:
Weapon Omega Program must be ended now with the 'cat out of the bag' and Benning has a back up plan/position for Pointer that is not part of gov't sanctioned plans or as The Guardian anymore.
Weapon Omega Program had confirmed an exact count of how many donors have died and how many still live. The 198 count after HOM was not exact but this infers poor adherance to that MU status quo. Also, by saying there are THOUSANDS of energy signatures inside him does that mean Pointer did NOT absorb ALL the mutants that were lost?
Weapon Omega Program was clearly not the result of cavalier decisions of a futurist like Tony Stark or sinister dealings across the US/Canadian border. It will be very disturbing Benning's actions are blindly condoned by a legitamate branch of Parliament.
Weapon Omega Program have found Sasquatch's and Arachne's participation more necessary and less frequent than implied. Their too brief appearances to date have proven their nuissance factor already.
