Infinity Wars: Weapon Hex (2018) #1 (of 2)

Weapon Hex has probably been the most interesting Infinity Wars mashup I’ve read so far. X-23 and Scarlet Witch combine to create Weapon Hex. The first issue covers a large chunk of their early backstories.
When you stop and think about the origin stories for X-23 and Scarlet Witch, they both have significant differences, but a shocking number of similarities too. I think that’s why they combined so well. Here their creators combine genetics and magic to try and create the perfect weapon.
I was surprised by some of the funnier moments in here, a few quotable lines in the beginning, as well as the revelation of another combination of characters (Laura’s little sister and Quicksilver). Seeing other combinations was interesting as well. Cloak and Dagger both make appearances, with their combined characters, of course. I wasn’t expecting either of those combos…but it kind of works.
