Note: the new Volume 6 is the old Volume 5. Two stories here: The Murder of Emma Frost and Assault on Weapon Plus.
The murder story just shows how ridiculous death has become in superhero universes. You know, from the first panel, that she's not going to stay dead, and in the end she comes back to life in time to identify her murderer. I get what Morrison was trying to do, playing up the inter-generational conflict theme he started in the previous volume, but the entire thing just seems unduly cheesy.
The second arc, however, is great. I think the Weapon Plus organization, and Fantomex, are the two greatest ideas Morrison came up with throughout his run, so it's great to see him revisit them. Also, he gets the Cyclops/Wolverine relationship better than any other X writer, and writes their rivalry in a way that makes them both look like upstanding men.
