Weapon X: The Draft - Sauron

In 2002, Marvel's Weapon X: The Draft series spun off a one-shot spotlighting Sauron, the villainous pterosaur-man whose scientific genius is twisted by his primal, predatory instincts. Written by Buddy Scalera with art by Karl Kerschl, this issue explores the character's place within the Weapon X program's shadowy recruitment machinations. It's a concise, character-focused entry that fleshes out a memorable X-Men foe's motivations and his uneasy alliance with the program.
