In the second issue of this 1980s Marvel anthology series, X-Men scribe Chris Claremont continues his Savage Land story having the Peter Parker expedition run afoul of evil mutants that were once loyal to Magneto. Armed with the madman’s genetic accelerator’s, the Angel, Spider-man, and the former love of the man who would be Sauron, find themselves the instrument’s next target.
Then in the back-up issue, a very frazzled Mr. Fantastic forgets Sue’s anniversary again after tiredly opening the Negative Zone portal. With Annihilus waiting on the other side, the scientist may never see home or his dutiful wife ever again.
Both stories were very good. Though, I feel Claremont’s tale is dragging out a little too much and I know I've read the Mr. Fantastic story before when Lee and Kirby were doing the book. The art is very good, but it’s the inking in both stories that powerfully stand out.
Worth Consuming.
Rating: 8 out of 10 stars.
