In the premiere issue of this 1980s Marvel anthology series, Editor Al Milgrom and Chief Jim Shooter look to use Grade A talent and rising stars to making essentially their dream stories.
In the very first multi-issue arc, Peter Parker is sent on assignment to the Savage Land to follow the Angel and a very desperate woman on a quest to find a man named Lykos. This Lykos guy has a habit of turning into a mutated pteradon named Sauron. Written by Chris Claremont, I am not sure why the editors didn’t roll out their best-selling characters, the X-Men.
In the second tale, Daredevil makes a rather ho-hum stroll through Hell’s Kitchen. The story and the art aren't that memorable.
Not a bad first issue. I hope it doesn’t become a place where miniseries that don’t get the green light go to die. Instead, I hope it’s filled with quality stories and art by those longing to work with characters and situations that they’ve never gotten a chance to work on prior.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
